When it comes to BBQ, Franklin BBQ is the undisputed champ. They’ve snagged the title of "Best BBQ in Texas (and quite possibly the universe)."
In 2013, our mate Brad Fulton stood in the infamous queue for four hours at Franklin in Austin, and he was blown away by the stunning logo that perfectly matched the legendary BBQ and vibe. After striking up a friendship with Stacy and Aaron, Brad thought, “Why not immortalise this American culinary icon in a deck of cards?” Genius, right?
What better way to pass the time whilst waiting for your brisket to cook to perfection on your Franklin Smoker?
Designed by Brad Fulton and featuring illustrations by the one and only Dave Lamplugh (the genius behind the original sauce bottle cartoons for Franklin), this deck is a true homage. The logo, crafted by Blair Richardson, has earned its place as an iconic symbol—much like the BBQ itself!
The back design? A cheeky nod to the iconic fiberglass lunch trays that thousands have used to indulge in the world’s best BBQ. These trays are now so closely linked to Franklin that they’ve become collectibles in their own right (seriously, who doesn't love a bit of BBQ memorabilia?).
And if you fancy a bit of colour, grab the aqua version for a smashing set!
56 playing cards, fully custom, including court cards that pay tribute to the couple who elevated Austin BBQ to new heights.
Printed in China on premium cardistry playing card stock, these beauties come custom sealed in an embossed tuck box.
