Leroy and Lewis and Interstellar BBQ both carry Michelin One Stars, and Barbs B Q backs up a James Beard Finalist nod with a Bib Gourmand. Eight more land at Delicious, including Franklin Barbecue's James Beard Winner pedigree and a run of Bib Gourmands from la Barbecue to Distant Relatives. Three Damn Good spots round it out. Austin barbecue isn't just Franklin — this is the full board.
