Not only does Franklin Barbecue excel in their culinary offerings, but they also contribute to the local community by hosting events such as the annual Hot Luck festival and participating in charity events like VNA Texas' Celebrity Chef event. Additionally, visitors can experience the Texan take on Louisiana homestyle brasserie fare and classic cocktails at their home base, Uptown Sports Club, where they can often find Aaron Franklin himself enjoying a nice afternoon meeting.
