Franklin BBQ

Franklin BBQ is the gold standard of BBQ—often called “Best BBQ in Texas AKA the world.” In 2013, designer Brad Fulton waited four hours in the infamous Austin line and was struck by the bold logo identity system that perfectly matched the epic BBQ and atmosphere. After becoming friends with Stacy and Aaron, Fulton set out to immortalize this great American brand in a premium deck of custom playing cards.

What better way to pass the time while waiting for your brisket to finish on a smoker?

Designed by Brad Fulton and featuring illustrations by the OG himself, Dave Lamplugh (creator of the original sauce bottle cartoons), this deck also showcases the iconic logo by Blair Richardson—an enduring trademark. Every detail is custom through and through, including court cards that pay tribute to the couple who helped catapult Austin BBQ into a new era.

Choose between two distinctive back designs: one inspired by the iconic fiberglass lunch trays that have become collectible in their own right, and another with a “retro” look drawn from classic casino playing cards of yesteryear. Select editions include a vintage-style long flap tuck box reminiscent of 1970s packaging.

56 playing cards.

Printed in China on premium cardistry playing card stock.

Custom sealed, embossed tuck box (with embossing and specialty construction depending on edition).
