What happened? Did they just give up? Burn out? It’s an odd thing to hear about a Pit master or bbq joint losing its fastball and getting washed out in less than a generation (in this case about a decade). Seems like there’s gotta be obvious or attributable reasons.

Justin Fourton still owns it but not sure how involved he is day to day.  Seems like he’s more focused on his podcast.

I feel like someone upthread had Louie Mueller recently and said it was bad-we went yesterday for the first time in a few years and it was A++, particularly the lean brisket.  

Also, only two people in front of us in line.  

I said that last November.  Then I went more recently and recanted, although I did not order the brisket this time around and just went beef rib to share.  When I went in November, the brisket had zero bark, no flavor, and wasn't particularly well-rendered.  Sounds like it was just a particularly off-day.

Stopped by there about a month and half ago on my way back home and it tasted like I was eating pepper beef jerky

FWIW, Wayne was there Saturday, so if it was bad then there’s no one else to blame.  
 

I’ve had somewhat inconsistent BBQ pretty much everywhere beside Franklin.

I saw him there on my more recent trip when the meal was better.  I don't recall seeing him the previous visit.  I don't give it too much of a thought these days.

2017 was the last time Pecan Lodge was a serious player in the BBQ world. I don't think they made the TM top 50 that year but I remember Daniel saying if the list was based on beef ribs they'd be in the top 10 (I agree with that). Last time I was there was 2021 and it was Dickey's quality. Haven't been back since.

I haven't been to Pecan Lodge since Terry Black's opened down the street right before COVID. PL used to be great. Justin and his wife are not very involved any longer, I don't think. If I went back now, I think I'd get the fried chicken, which WAS spectacular. Oh, and the BBQ for pulled pork was absolutely divine.
