100 year old Strader Family Brunswick Stew 

I’m so glad you came and filmed this. Probably one of the last ones I’ll ever make with my parents and now I have this memory forever. Thanks Jacky.

Good grief! That looks delicious! Thank you so much for not only showing us how you made this, but being kind enough to share the Strader family Brunswick Stew recipe. Thumbs up!

Honestly this is the best Georgia Brunswick stew on the internet. I’m from Georgia and I have been eating it my whole life. Thank you.

Looks great!!! Thanks for taking us along Jacky!! Thank you to Brian and his mom for having you help out and video!!

Looks good! That was quite a feast in that old pot. Thanks for taking us along Jacky.

Brian’s family recipe Brunswick stew. Looked good ! Thanks for sharing Jacky

Great video Jacky. That stew sure looks good. Nothing beats cooking in cast iron. Thanks for sharing.

Good food

Looks awesome! Thanks for sharing

Looks great thanks for sharing 👍

👍

Thanks so much for this. I was able to change a little and make this in a 6 quart cast iron. I made over 30 batches last year and I'm making my first this year now that it's cooling off. Super appreciative!

Fantastic video!

Takes a lot of work to do what you all just did. But you all made it look like so much fun!! I had a lead on a newer cast iron pot, smaller than yours, forged in Texas. But the guy sold it to the next guy in line!! Boy was I mad!! Well, I’ll get over it!! But it WILL take some time!! If you all, know someone who is looking to sell theirs, maybe smaller than 10 gallons, please let me know plz, plz & I thank you in advance for your labors!! Gonna go back and make a good clear photo of this recipe!! Thanks Everyone!! Byeeeeeee!!!!

Looks delicious 😋 thank you for sharing

Man y’all wrong making me watch this at 3 am!!

Man you got to love some good Brunswick stew that looks so good

Merry Christmas Y’all.

Looks good!

Been at plenty of these country gatherings, the paddle man is so important for a good stew.

That's one big pot and those precision measuring device are immaculate. I do it that way too.

Looks good

Man that is what I am talking about. I would have loved to have been there for this. At first, I was thinking the pot was going to overfill when you added in the rest of the ingredients but once you pulled the chickens out it all worked out. I love recipes like this. I make a Brunswick stew too but mine is a little different. I would love to try this one day.

Would have liked smell-o-vision for this video..looked good to me!!🍻🍺

@Gerrald Farms, awesome video. Just wondering what part of the country the Strader Family is from? South Carolina? I'm from Eastern/North Eastern NC. Growing up, my church used to have a big Brunswick Stew sale every fall. It's neat to see how everyone does Brunswick Stew just a little different. The Straders I see put onions and beef in theirs where we didn't. They put the chickens in the day of the stew cooking, where we cooked the hens the day before and pulled the chicken off the bone. The next morning we started the process of actually cooking the stew using the chicken broth from the day before then adding the finely chopped chicken back in. Little nuances like this is what makes us all unique and I love it! Sure does look good! Good job!

🤤🤤🤤

Maybe you didnt drain those potatoes at all, lol I bet that was a good time and the stew looked great.

Brunswick stew came to America with German immigrants and because very popular during barbecues put on for town wide political rallies to rally votes for local candidates. The earliest record of Brunswick stew comes from Virginia in 1844 in a letter, that letter speaks of the popularity of the dish and the fact it was already well known which means it had been around for some time. Georgia likes to claim they came up with Brunswick stew in the 1890's but it is pretty clear the dish was around way before that! ( My guess from Brunswick Germany of course ) Brunswick stew can be made with any sort of meat. But needs tomato sauce and corn and butter beans. And what people did then, that they don't so know is use smoked meat! It was a barbecue after all! Oak or Hickory was used and meats ranged from Squirrel, possum, chicken, pork, beef, sheep, goat. Now, you all can make it any way you want. But when I make mine I'm tossing my meats in the smoker first. ;)
