PBS camera crew films “BBQ with Franklin” segment on Beef 101.

COLLEGE STATION — Aaron Franklin, host of the television show “BBQ with Franklin,” visited Texas A&M University and featured a segment on Beef 101 in this season’s episode nine called “Pickin’ Beef,” which aired this July on PBS.

Aaron participated in Beef 101 several years ago and came back to campus to show his audience what he learned about the cuts of beef, especially those from the rib section, which are quite popular in the barbecue scene these days. This episode included an overview of the anatomy by Dr. Davey Griffin, a beef cutting group lesson by Leslie Frenzel and a visit to the Beef Center for an interview with Dr. Jeff Savell.
