Hi -- We're here in Austin for a few days, and of course are mapping out our BBQ plan of attack. Started off with Salt Lick today, which I always enjoy. One idea I have had for awhile is getting 1-2 of Franklin's pre-cooked & chilled briskets and then taking it/them home to California. Since we have a car this time, I could actually throw them in a cooler on ice.
However, I have no clue whether a chilled & re-heated brisket will be awesome, and especially whether one would last for several days (assuming it is chilled). Does anyone have any experience with his pre-cooked briskets? If they don't travel, but are great for a day or so, we could get one to reheat here. I like the idea of doing it this way as we can have brisket for dinner & not wait in line. Otherwise, it seems like it is a multi-hour line, and lunch is the only option.
Other than that, I expect we'll try to sort out Lockhart and get to at least one of the places there, depending on lines and such. Thanks, as always, for any thoughts! -- David
