The best thing about this video for me is not that I'm going to actually spend $250 to get that shipped to me, but that it proves I could cook a brisket a few days ahead of time, refrigerate it, and quickly reheat it in a way that preserves its quality well for serving.
I thought the same; wondering if it would need to be a small one like in this vid; or if it still would work for a large one....
@@erikcarlson1562 I wonder how big the one in the video was to start with. With the amount of loss you get from the trim and the cook, I'm not sure it was a tiny one.
You're better off starting it the day before you need it and low n slow it overnight. In the morning when its finished, wrap and rest it in your oven or food warmer at 150-170 degrees until youre ready to eat. The longer it rests, the more tender and juicy it will be on the inside. Whenever youre ready to eat, all you gotta do is pull it and allow for 20-30 minutes to cool then serve. Foolproof way to do brisket in case the cook goes longer than expected so youre not eating late. You eat on your timeline.
Best Alex Jones impression period! Lol sounded just like him
Spot on!
There is now coffee on my monitor. Smooth delivery LOL
Man, it was so perfect! Hilary Clinton would take a break from eating babies to eat that brisket!!!! Lol
Nailed it!
I was super shocked with that impression. Had to rewind because I didn’t believe it was him.
Congrats on making this awesome review video. I really appreciate that you didn’t do this as a sponsorship from Goldbelly or Franklin BBQ. You have shown great character doing this just for the love of great tasting BBQ and for your viewers. Thank you!
Kind of felt like a commercial for them anyways. But hey. Thats why they call is social influencer... i think.
Living most of my life in Central Texas, the BBQ holy land when it comes to beef, and having had a decent amount of brisket in my day; I do think that Franklins is the best and most consistent brisket I have had. The ribs are also very good. However IMO the rest of the menu is subpar to many other spots in the area.
Word of advice, order ahead for pickup of some brisket (you do have to do it many days in advance normally) and skip the line. Pick it up and go on your way. Still hot. Still delicious.
I mean brisket is king in Texas so for his brisket to be In your opinion the best that is high praise.. I mean I would come to Texas to eat brisket almost exclusively.
yes, I live an hour west of Austin, and this area is for sure BBQ heaven......soooo many great BBQ joints!
Im sure it's good, but you can walk into Blacks or Terry Blacks any time and get fantastic BBQ as well without camping out for it.
😂I didn’t expect you to do a Alex Jones impersonation that had to have been the funniest 😂 most unsuspecting thing ever good video man
It’s a conspiracy 😂
I was salivating over the meat, the wtf Alex Jones. Funny as!
best one I've heard.
On point Alex Jones impression my man
@Theworldismine Free That's pretty much what I was gonna comment! Now, I don't have to. Thanks!
That’s an insane Alex Jones impression!! I had to rewind to be sure it wasn’t him lol!!
I love your videos. I taught TV production for 30 years and just want to compliment you on your production values too. I always love the information you give, but kudos on your camera skills, editing, good audio, and overall presentation.
Omg, that alex Jones impression was scary good.
Couldn't agree more 🤣🤣🤣
@@rustyshackleford3008 I’m thinking about it
@@MadScientistBBQ Bro please do, It'll get Joe Rogan's attention hahaha
i loled fasho
My favorite part!!! lol
The production on this video is great! You're stepping it up I see.
Ever since buying brisket at the market and not realizing what quality of meat it was (select cut), I nearly gave up on making brisket. My pellet smoker holds enough pellets for a 3 hour smoke so I had to keep babying it.
Then I learned how to sous vide it and only buy prime cut. And even without finishing it in the smoker, it was friggin yummers. I no longer smoke mine and just sous vide it. I'm perfectly ok not having that peppery bark on the outside. I'll try Franklin's one of these days while I'm here in Austin. Thank you.
I am happy to see that the mail order Franklin brisket turned out fantastic. Too many times a popular restaurant starts selling their products online and they simply don't even come close to the quality of the in person food. Aaron has created such an iconic brand that he HAS to deliver the goods or why bother and potentially tarnish his image. I cook my brisket his way, and my friends and family say it's some of the best brisket they have ever eaten. Is any food worth waiting in line 6 hours? Maybe yes, maybe no. But the Franklin experience brings all these people together having a great meal and fellowship, and what's wrong with that? One day I will get to FBBQ and share that as well. Great video, your loss for words when eating the point says it all.
I know its expensive but I m going to try one of these mail order briskets just one time to see how much better it is than I do here at home. Its 32 I think in store and this way no wait or plane ticket to Texas needed.
What's more agonizing? Him waiting 6hrs for bbq brisket or me waiting 11 minutes to watch a guy eat a vacuum sealed brisket for 250bucks?
For real though! Guy over explains everything. Eh, at least he’s thorough and wants you to make good bbq.
@sam ludman it's not frozen smart guy. It's taken off the pit, vacuum sealed and cooled. $115 if you pick it up that way. $250 to ship plus Goldbelly (the middle man) does nothing cheap. Bought 2 a couple years ago and was worth it. I didn't want to like it because of the hype but the hype is real. So boycott away. They'll do fine without you.
@sam ludman "I can buy freshly smoked brisket every day of the week that is as good as Franklin's..." No. You can't.
50 and a smoker.... Foh
@sam ludman jealous much?
Bro. Been watching you for a while now. Absolutely love the new filming quality of this video. Looks super good and professional. Keep it up Jeremy.
The perception of "moisture" is definitely more than just rendered fat. It's also natural gelatin, that is a by product of melting the collagen in the connective tissue
That was hilarious 😂, Mad scientist with that perfect Alex Jones impression
I've have not had Franklins yet, and probably won't either. My "pitmaster" friends has had it and told me that all the hype of waiting wasn't worth it. And we can all throw down ourselves. He's wildly successful and I'm sure it's great brisket, but I've heard this from other friends and co-workers that smoke brisket too. So I'm not willing to make the drive, wait in line for hours, and overpay for something I can recreate in my backyard. I'm sure you're brisket is just as awesome as Franklins, and maybe even mine. lol
Fantastic brisket, review and video!
Your turn Larry
You’re here on a video about GOOD food?
The Alex impression was the best thing about the video.
@sam ludman hey stfu. If people don't want to support a local restaurant or cook and order this they can. It's not your choice to make for them. Stop spamming this
Hey man, the wolf pit!
FIFTY DOLLARS A POUND?? Good god I thought the $20 a pound at the restaurant was steep 😅 I'm sure it's great for delivery brisket but there's no way it's SO much better that a local brisket or making it yourself isn't a better option. I've had Franklin's, it's really really good but so is the BBQ restaurant down the street from my apt and there's not a 6 hour wait and it's not $50 a pound lol 🤷🏼♂️
Any food is good if you're hungry and you have to wait 6 hours for it. Franklin's may be good but I think it's overhyped. I'd rather go to a place that serves good barbecue without the long wait.
I wouldn’t pay that much for it if it chewed itself up for ya.
This man has a point !
Exactly
Get a sous vide. You absolutely will not regret it. You can pre-smoke your protiens and then cook them sous vide. The smoke flavor will amplify during the cook, additionally, you can guarantee perfect temperature and texture. Rest and sear, enjoy. I promise, you won't regret it.
I can say something bad about it. $250 I'd rather buy a USDA PRIME packer and spend the 18 hours doing it myself. I took Franklin's Master Class and learned a lot. I also learned from life to not over pay for hype. Same with his pit. It's nice, very well made but about $1000 too much just to get a Franklin cut out on the fire box. Nice video though!
Awesome vid: Simple, clear, concise and generally nicely done. Brisket looks fantastic.
Anyone get his master class ad
Probably the only add I allowed to play through. 👍👍
I let his ad play through too in the hopes the algorithm rewards me with nothing but smoking ads.
Master Class is awesome
I don't get ads ;p Premium UA-cam
I just got a fact check warning telling me that Alex Jones is not a reliable source of brisket facts he is a meatball expert. I have the documents
Alex Jones lives in Austin though, and yhats where this brisket came from. So maybe he is a reliable source on brisket.
Can I buy a comma, please!?
$250..... lololol, I almost peed myself, that's hilarious!!!
IKR? What was that, a 4 pound brisket, even accounting for shrinkage that thing was TINY. /smh people will think something is the greatest just because they think it. No one will ever convince me a tiny little mail order pre cooked and reheated 4 pound brisket for 250 bucks is gonna compete with what I pull fresh off the smoker, at a quarter of the price.
@@conandude76 Agreed. That guy really has advertising that sells itself at this point. Super overhyped brisket. I'm sure part of the hype is waiting and starving in a hot line for 4 hours, after which everything tastes better. I've had his brisket and I'm not ever waiting in line for it. There's plenty of good brisket in the area that I don't have to plan an entire day around.
Franklins is amazing!!! Been there years ago. Even thou Texas has many BBQs joints there. This by far is the best quality and know how to serve it the right way🇺🇸
Time to order some briskets and start winning some competitions!! This bbq thing is easy! 🤣
You won’t win much with those prices lmfao
@sam ludman it was a joke..🙄
@@corylee2261 why are people so stupid? Obviously being sarcastic and someone took it serious
And now for the real question... what is better, a reheated Franklin Brisket or yours fresh off the smoker?
No one wants to wait in line that long!!!!!! Reheat all day
I would choose mine, but I am a biased source. Franklin is probably more consistent with what he does.
No brisket fresh off the smoker would be good. You gotta rest that shit
@@85ddrummer hahahahahaha 😂😂😂
@@85ddrummer fresh off the smoker is a brisket that has been rested for an hour dummy
6:08 - When my time comes, that's the way I want to go. In the oven, basted with butter!
Point of contention:
I don't believe it is true that what we perceive as moisture is rendered fat. Skeletal muscle is 70% water. That is the source of moisture.
This could use a science check, but I believe that the point of adding butter, oils, or leaving fat caps on the outside of meat is that this creates a hydrophobic layer that the moisture cannot pass through. Therefore it traps the moisture inside of the meat and prevents it from drying out.
I have had meats drenched in excessive rendered fat and the "mouth feel" is not juicy, it is oily and unpleasant.
You need to do a whole video with that Alex Jones accent. Haha
Why am I watching this at 4am I was just watching anime 🤣🤣🤣
because the Meat Gods summoned you
Ho man that Alex Jones impersonation was SPOT ON hahaha
Was it me or was that brisket "tiny" for a $240.00 slab of meat? I would easily put the effort in and make my own for less than half the price and twice the size. Just sayin'....
Yeah you would do that as a regular consumer, but he's a youtuber, and his job is to make interesting content. Also, I'm sure his purchase was a write-off for his line of work as a BBQ UA-camr.
If you live in the area I'd say just go wait in line for 100 bucks of brisket. But if you really wanna try Franklin's and you live across the country 250 is way cheaper then the cost of a plane ticket and travel expenses.
You have to remember that you factor time and process when selling a product plus the third party delivery also has to make money. So I’m sure the price is inflated just from the delivery alone.
Yeah, I was trying to justify portions there too.
It's only about 5lbs and Jeremy can cook his own but he even admitted that he can't make his as good as Franklin's. But I agree with the comments previously here, he's a UA-camr and needs to produce content, will likely use this as a business write off/expense while at the same time enjoying a fantastic brisket. And although I wouldn't rush to spend $50/lb on even Franklin's brisket, I think as a once a year treat for a holiday I don't blame anyone for buying it especially if they don't have the ability to do it themselves.
I always wondered what happened to Kevin Arnold after The Wonder Years ended.
Dud
lmao
Great review! I was surprised they offered this option knowing Aaron’s high standards. I am not surprised it’s stellar.
I bet he shipped him self a couple dozen briskets until he was happy with his results. Thanks for making this video, maybe I’ll pull the trigger on one!
He probably did. Quality drop is minuscule. I was more impressed with that than anything else
Barbeque is really a tradition of the Mexican vaqueros which the Texas cowboys working alongside them adopted.
If youre having a family cookout and you want to impress, WORTH IT
For less than $250 I can get Prime grade or American Wagyu Gold grade brisket that weighs a LOT more than that. I've cooked many briskets and have watched several of Aaron's videos.
Very nice sir. I always wondered how they came out.
New Texas Monthly BBQ ratings are out. Franklin is now third in Austin, seventh overall in the state. Fort Worth is the big winner this year with Goldie's coming in at number one and Panther City at number ten.
Wrapping it keeps steam which equals moisture.
Fresh beef has become so incredibly expensive, I don’t see how any business that deals in beef is making any money. Fast food like McDonald’s and Burger King are gonna have to make all their burgers the size of sliders if beef doesn’t stop going up. I can honestly say that there was a point in time when Marker Basket wold put briskets that were somewhere between select and choice grade on sale every Labor Day and Memorial Day for NINETY-NINE ($0.99) CENTS a pound! For twenty cents more a pound my butcher would grind a couple of hundred pounds and double wrap two pound packages for the freezer. On the same holiday sale, whole top sirloins would go for one ninety-nine ($1.99) a pound. For twenty cents a pound he’d slice a hundred pounds into 3/4 inch steaks and double wrap them for the freezer. My family ate good back then. Real choice beef! Nowadays even select grade brisket and sirloin is untouchable. It’s downright un-American.
sous vide equipment is VERY expensive. Get an Instant Pot. It does sous vide really well. I've done it in mine and am very pleased.
11:53 the way the apron doesn't move with the movements trips me out
That jones impersonation was spot on 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Clockwork Elves 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You could pour beef tallow on it before heating.
That package was like Russian stacking dolls. Kept getting smaller and smaller. WELL, you have my mouth watering!
A lot of money for a brisket. $245??? When the average, is around $4 to $5 a pound.
Sure but think about how many people it feeds. can you feed that many people something from a single location restaurant thats regarded as the best in the world for less? You're buying art --- not simply sustenance...
Waiting for 6 hours in line for food is crazy! Also spending that much on mail order foods is nuts! Change my mind! Send me some to try.
🎼Literal vampire pot belly goblins are hobblin’ around🎼
Dood!! Awesome Alex Jones impression! 😎👍 For a reheat, that brisket looked amazing! You have an excellent channel. Cheers - Luther
lmfaooooo im too drunk for that alex jones impression... clockwork elves hahaha
Never! I’d much rather get five 20lb Prime Briskets (100lb total), smoke, learn and perfect my own brisket recipes and techniques...than pay $249 (plus tax and shipping) for that puny single brisket. (Great video idea/topic though!) 🔥👍🏼🇺🇸
Exactly on the same page
I followed solely because of the incredible Alex Jones impression. Honestly the best I’ve heard 😭😭
Just tell us it's perfect. Then and only then we will belive you. It's Franklin love! It must be perfect. It's an 11 out of 10 every time...
I'm only subscribing to this guy, because I think he loves BBQ even more than I do 🍗
And he's eating Franklin BBQ, so I respect a man of culture 👍😎
249 bones for that chunk 'a jerky?
Need moaar AJ impersonations! I nearly broke a rib laughing so hard!
2 years later FRANKLIN'S pay this man because we just ordered 😂😂
I like the part where he implies he knows what meteorite tastes like.
This dude said "BBQ is redneck sous vide" as if he's not in a kitchen the size of most NYC apartments
Would you ever consider putting a few pats of butter on top when doing the initial wrapping at home? Really great video!
Would you recommend using tallow instead of pats of butter??
A bit wordy. Found myself fast forwarding to the end. Sometimes you have to cut to the chase. Your not cooking this from scratch.
Agreed
Can a man not talk about the food that he loves?
Move along dude….
Maybe you should just be more patient. It’s only 13 minutes long.
Holy crap that Alex Jones impression caught me off guard hahaha
Your forgetting Myron Mixon...Aron Franklin is an all time great as well watched many of his videos both those guys are genius!!!
$250 for that tiny thing?? I wouldn't pay that for a full size one. I love bbq as much as the next person but damn
In my house, that would never have made it to the oven with both ends intact.
I live in Austin, and Franklin's isn't the best bbq we have to offer. Just famous
$250. for leftovers? i think i have some old mac n cheese in my fridge, yours for $150.
Well they sell out every day. So not leftovers
In all your videos, you always mention Franklins. However, 100miles Southeast of Austin is Killen's BBQ in Houston. I think someone of your caliper should perform a taste test. Killens is hard to beat!
$250 for a brisket is stupid. I don’t care who cooked it. More money than brains. Great video!!!!
Make sure you use Texas Tough foil from HEB on that sheet pan!
Need to go to 2M it is better than Franklin BBQ in my opinion. Absolutely amazing!
I love this channel, but one thing @6:48 kinda threw me a little😆 “out of all the Thermopens I’ve bought, they all still work today”. Then why’d ya buy so many?!🤣🤣🤣. Keep up the great content! I’m just busting your chops a little🤣 I DO love this channel and I binge it regularly 😁
A little late but would you mind sharing the sous vide heating instructions?
I’m sure it was “perfect” tasting but, what you got for the price you paid was not.
that's kinda the same argument my wife has about my AMEX Platinum card.....
Wow this looks fire 🔥 ... oh snap forgot about my cupnoodles in the microwave brb.
That was an on point Alex Jones impression.
Wow! Ur in Crestwood, ku? I grew in that area.
Oh my god you did the Alex Jones impersonation! 🤣😎 highest quality Brisket.
Why the short few seconds of an impression floods the top comments, is just as much a mystery to me as Aaron Franklin's perfect simplicity. Lol😅
I don't care if the rub was made from unicorn semen and leprechaun scabs, there's no way I'm paying $250 for a mail-ordered brisket.
Was the brisket cold or room temperature before going in the oven?
Have you watched the MASTERCLASS of his? I wonder if he still leaves out information that still makes his better than anyone else's. That 1% that really makes the difference in how his tastes compared to ours.
Hey Jeremy- if you did this again would you use butter or beef tallow?
Not the result I expected. Very cool. Great video idea!
If you had to do this over, would you reheat with Butter again(as recommended), or with Beef Tallow to add fat?
Came for the Q, subbed for the Alex Jones impression. Both spot on!
$249.00 for that? The brisket looks to be a 10 pounder and no sides, aaron saw you coming !
Hi.was it frozen when you got it? How long it took for the shipment to arrive from the day of shipping till the day you got it?Thank you
What time did you order the brisket im in nyc trying to order but its always sold out
WOW! That Jones moment was spot on!
Great video brotha! Didn’t even know he shipped briskets. Very cool!
The guys from Killens in Pearland, TX can get pretty close.
That's a good Alex Jones impersonation! lol
Hello from Burlington! Love when you go Alex Jones on the brisket!
Hell, for that price it better come with a back rub! I’m sure you could smoke just as good,if not better...
Just a lotta hype!
How often does the website restock them
The best thing bout ur vid was that Alex Jones impersonation spot on lol
