Pecan Lodge is apparently more centrally located, and some say is better.

Come down to Austin and I'm in.

I'll be in Austin the next week at a conference, but won't have much time during the day.

El Jefe

Bummer, I'll be on the road that week. Bummer.

My suggestion

Torchy's is a good idea for something casual. Pecan Lodge for BBQ (SC is trying to get me to try Cattleak-says it's

byuTX

5/3/16 3:42pm

Been hearing stuff about Cattleak too. Want to try it.

WDaddy

5/3/16 3:46pm

Is this what you're talking about?

El Jefe

5/3/16 3:53pm

There's always a big line at good bbq places. As long as we make it for 11am, should be fine

byuTX

5/3/16 5:02pm

I'm in. Probably my only chance to meet the Jeff (aka TNT).

WDaddy

5/3/16 3:42pm

I'll be a little NE of Dallas

El Jefe

5/3/16 3:47pm

P.S. I am in, but I plan on coming as Tokolosh. Just ordered my Pac12 shirt on overstock.com

5/3/16 3:43pm

Then I'm coming as byuTX wearing this...

Hard Eight BBQ....

Thibious

5/3/16 8:29pm

Hard 8 is a great place to take visitors that want good atmosphere but not elite BBQ. I really like it. It's great

byuTX

5/3/16 8:39pm

The jalapeño poppers

vabeachcoug

5/4/16 12:29am

Have you ever had the ones from 3 Stacks in Frisco? They stuff them with tender brisket and baste them in BBQ sauce

byuTX

5/4/16 6:28am

How do you make the puke face emoticon?

Supercoug

5/3/16 8:41pm

Had Hard Eight for the first time last weekend. It was decent.

LiveCoug

5/12/16 8:11pm

Your opinion of the sweet corn is bad and you should feel bad. I like to take out of towners to Hard8 cause it's

byuTX

5/13/16 6:54am

Rudy's cream corn was significantly better than Hard Eight's sweet corn, IMO. If we are comparing chains.

LiveCoug

5/13/16 6:58am

Rudys is maybe slightly better than Dickeys. I still like Franklin's more than anything in Lockhart

byuTX

5/13/16 7:00am

I still haven't had the patience to wait at Franklins, but I'm guessing that I would really enjoy it.

LiveCoug

5/13/16 7:04am

You would definitely like Franklin's.

Supercoug

5/13/16 7:06am

Overrated.

WDaddy

5/13/16 7:10am

I'm having your deportation papers drawn up as I type.

Supercoug

5/13/16 7:14am

I'm kidding. It's really good.

WDaddy

5/13/16 7:29am

Maybe the best thing I have ever eaten was a free piece of burnt end the owner gave me while we waited in line

byuTX

5/13/16 7:19am

If I were to brave Franklin's, how long should I expect to wait? When is the best time to go?

LiveCoug

5/13/16 7:24am

We went on a Friday. Got in line around 10 IIRC. Got in at about 11:30 maybe. Worth it. Also kind of fun to do as a

byuTX

5/13/16 7:26am

That's not bad. Someone the other day told me to expect a 4 hour wait, minimum.

LiveCoug

5/13/16 7:29am

There's a chance you got in a bit earlier, and got food a bit later. Or maybe

Supercoug

5/13/16 7:30am

Also possible that the cold kept people away. But in pretty sure those were the approximate times. And if it was longer

byuTX

5/13/16 7:38am

The jalapeno cream corn at WDaddy's house is better than....

WDaddy

5/13/16 7:01am

Yet you selfishly refuse to invite me over to try it

byuTX

5/13/16 7:02am

I'll be in Dallas this weekend. Bummer

LiveCoug

5/3/16 8:50pm

Let's meet at Culver's.

YardTime

5/3/16 11:39pm

We save that for CB lunch in Wisconsin, right?

TN_Coug

5/4/16 8:03am

And Arizona.

YardTime

5/4/16 4:47pm

When is the CB Los Angeles lunch?

BlueFamily

5/3/16 11:45pm

Well I notice that Supercoug's presence has chased away the opportunity to meet

WDaddy

5/4/16 8:03am

You should move this meeting to the end of the month and hold it in the hotel

For those coming, would you prefer Pecan Lodge or Cattleack?

El Jefe

5/4/16 11:54am

Pecan Lodge has more seating, and is considered the best.

Supercoug

5/4/16 11:59am

My vote is for Cattelak, but I'm down with Pecan Lodge. Or Grand Lux.

byuTX

5/4/16 12:27pm

Never had Pecan Lodge - sounds good. Grand Lux for me is like Cheesecake Factory

OGSuperfan

5/4/16 12:30pm

Grand Lux IS the Cheesecake Factory...

Tokolosh

5/4/16 12:37pm

BUT BETTER

byuTX

5/4/16 12:37pm

Best appetizers/tapas around

byuTX

5/4/16 12:37pm

Cattleak. Closer to my work. Pecan Lodge is too far.

WDaddy

5/4/16 4:59pm

Where is Cattleak. Pecan Lodge is just off 75, right? Not that far from us?

Tokolosh

5/4/16 5:02pm

Cattleak is by the Galleria. Pecan Lodge is all the way in Deep Ellum.

WDaddy

5/4/16 5:06pm

It looks like CattleAck won the poll

El Jefe

5/5/16 10:23am

I'm in - Where exactly are you going to be at? I am up in the Allen/Frisco area

OGSuperfan

5/4/16 12:26pm

You don't geographically limit yourself for a CB lunch in the DFW area...

Tokolosh

5/4/16 12:29pm

ha ha ha - wasn't limiting, just wondering what type of travel would be needed

OGSuperfan

5/4/16 12:33pm

Enjoy CattleAck!

5/12/16 12:40pm

Have prior appointment

5/12/16 8:04pm

You're doing this on a Friday the 13th? I wonder what could go wrong.

BW84

5/13/16 8:31am

Bernard or Prodigal could show up

WDaddy

5/13/16 9:25am

OMW now! looking forward to it

OGSuperfan

5/13/16 9:37am

In line with carlstud now. Look for the fat guy and the sad handsome tall guy

byuTX

5/13/16 9:55am

In line too, wearing Y hat with my 4yr old boy in tow

OGSuperfan

5/13/16 10:22am

What did you think of the food? I really liked it

byuTX

5/13/16 12:37pm

The marbled brisket was very good, probably top 3-4 i've had in TX

OGSuperfan

5/13/16 8:39pm

My favorite thing there was the beef rib. It was great.

byuTX

5/13/16 10:16pm

I saw someone with one when I was leaving, it looked really good

OGSuperfan

5/14/16 7:28am

Probably wise to not expose the 4 year old to that rabble anyway.
