The fried green tomato po'boy at is a gold-medal winner (photo by Jana Birchum) The first time I went to Franklin Barbecue, Aaron Franklin himself served me a magnificent pulled pork sandwich out of a tiny teal trailer. It was a testament to how Franklin had mastered his craft, doing a few things extraordinarily well. Since then, Franklin has stayed in his culinary lane, branching out only to collaborate with Tyson Cole on the Asian-barbecue fusion restaurant Loro. Until this year, that is, when he opened with two partners, James Moody (Mohawk founder and partner in Franklin's Hot Luck Fest), and Fort Worth attorney Jason Jones.
