Franklin’s Harvey fundraiser feeds 800 over two weekends

AUSTIN (KXAN) — While the restaurant remains closed after a fire, Franklin Barbecue is still smoking for a second straight weekend to help with the Hurricane Harvey recovery.
A $30 ticket bought customers a full plate of Franklin’s brisket, sausage and all the fixins’ at The Mohawk live music venue in downtown Austin on Sunday.
Owner Aaron Franklin says all the proceeds are going to recovery efforts.
So how well did the benefit do?
“Ya, pretty good,” said Franklin.
