How Aaron Franklin Built THE Barbecue Legacy | Not A Damn Chance! Podcast
Description
Neen Williams and Phillip Frankland Lee sit down with Aaron Franklin, the laid-back legend behind Franklin Barbecue. From his first brisket to building one of the most iconic BBQ spots in the world, Aaron shares how a backyard hobby turned into a full-blown obsession.
They talk skateboarding, music, the parallels between cooking and creativity, and why doing something just for the love of it is where greatness starts. Aaron opens up about buying the trailer, figuring it all out as he went, and staying fired up—even through a fire at the restaurant in 2017.
This episode is a reminder that passion, persistence, and a little smoke go a long way.
