"When we’re playing tour guide, we bring our guests to Micklethwait, which strikes the perfect balance of excellent quality and reasonable wait times. The meats and seasonings generally lean classic, but the sides are where things really get fun. Coleslaw gets an upgrade in the form of lemon poppy slaw, and the citrus beet salad tastes like something you’d get at a restaurant with real chairs and tablecloths. Grab a couple pounds of brisket, a few slices of turkey, and some Tex-Czech sausages, then load up on sides and enjoy your meal before your friends in the Franklin line down the street have even made it to the front door.
