The Aaron Franklin Secret...

[nikolausp]

*update, just found this paragraph online:

"Aaron Franklin, a renowned brisket expert has an interesting theory regarding left versus right side briskets. Typically cattle lye on their left side which means that when they stand up they use their right leg to push down to lift their massive bodies. In theory this causes the right side to develop more muscle fibers making the right side brisket a tougher and less desirable cut of meat."

A leg is definitely involved, but it isn't pushing. It's being pulled.

All facts I’m pretty sure. But still...You guys are killing me.

I think that's been circulating since before Franklin was born. [emoji1787]

It's not tallow or Lawry's. The secret is only using left side briskets. The right side is no good (unless the cow is left hooved, then the right side is the one to use).

The opposite is true if the cows are raised on a hillside.

What if the Cow was Left Handed.

First it was Tallow. Now it's Lawry's, Pickle Juice, Cornstarch and Turmeric. LOL. What's next, essential oils, crystals and hot yoga?

No, 11 herbs and spices.

Oh, wait, that’s been done. Nevermind.

Check the Penalty Forum for examples.

Elegance? BBQ is the epitome of fine dining. Want foams? My High Life foams just fine on the way in and out. Heirlooms? My fruit-of-the-looms got the whole orchard. Reductions? My butt's swimming in 3 qts of pork jus. Unnecessary French words? Sh*t, F*ck, P*ss, C*nt be flying out of my mouth all night tending to that brisket.

 

[Bob C Cue]

The only white bread I allowed to touch my lips with barbecue is baguettes.

I am assuming who runger35 is referring to, is potentially Jonny (Jirby) White who formerly worked as a pitmaster at Franklins, La Barbacue and Valentina's before opening up Goldess with Dylan Taylor, Lane Milne, Jalen Heard and Nupohn Inthanousay.

Jonny has a youtube channel and recently released a video in which he discusses seasoning briskets; video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7nXTYbufkM&t=304s

At the 8:48 mark Jonny states "Lawry's seasoning salt is the best secret ingredient in BBQ; he was the first one to put it on anything" as he laughs.

Giving the impression or at least insinuating that its what, the potential missing gold standard ingredient, that is being used elsewhere. And, while not definitive proof, that it is in fact what Aaron Franklin uses to season his briskets. It does tie in somewhat to what John Lewis has stated previously - however neither former pitmaster of Franklins comes out and categorically states that it is in fact what is being used to season briskets at Franklins.

Then in an article published in 2018 John Lewis doubles down on his previous mention from the Texas Monthly article in 2013 https://texasbbqposse.com/2018/05/a-day-in-the-life-how-john-lewis-makes-damn-good-bbq.html stating "Anyone telling you they are using just salt and pepper for seasoning, it’s b.s.,” he said.

Of course it's merely conjecture and gives one FOOD for thought.

And, I am assuming since ruger35 spent the day recently at Goldess BBQ - when he snapped a photo of their pitroom with the caption "This is what it looks like when work is fun." That Jonny White is indeed the person he is referring to.

Hmmm... Straight out of Jirby's mouth just now, on Instagram.

do you create youtube content?

his videos and production value have gotten better with time. while he is putting himself out there you just criticize from your armchair.

Great Avatar!!!!!!!!!
