I’m back in the studio to recreate Texas BBQ using the knowledge I now have from the best pit masters. I’ll be tackling the iconic brisket, as well as building on the sides which are heavily inspired by KG BBQ’s incredible menu. Let me know your favourite side in the comments.

I love the honesty of this video, and you show the good parts and the things you can improve upon. This is what us home cooks need.❤

Everyone fails their first brisket. The brisket will turn out good, but it just takes practice to nail the technique to make a perfect brisket.

I think your critique on BBQ is spot on, most of the sides are super heavy, which make eating a BBQ meal very dense. I think the folks at KG are definitely doing it right by pairing the generally heavy meats with lighter and fresh sides. I think that a Banh Mi inspired coleslaw would be a fantastic side dish as well!

@luketanttari9001 7 месяцев назад

You are a very honest and humble chef. I dont think you nailed this one and you were honest about it. I respect you and will continue to watch.

@rihamkarim3644 Месяц назад

lol you're just mad he talked crap about the Texes(yes, ik how to spell it- Texas, but wanna talk Texes lol) white American people sides. at least black Americans, they did it better. y'all are the same now from hundreds of years of being best friends. he's right 100% the only sides that are good is the mac and cheese and not every place does it well. and tbh brisket is not great, it's okay even close to bad. the only thing i like from BBQ are the ribs. that's it. with a good glaze. but every other part just isn't great. so who cares about your brisket opinion. he probably made it taste even better. and smoked it betta, besides each brisket differs and it all mostly tastes like shit. i'd eat Andy's brisket over any brisket from the US. i know his is good from the way he cooks(ofc) but also from the way he talked about BBQ in Texas and how he described it, he knows his stuff and has good taste so he probably did nail it and did it even better. BBQ is (especially brisket) and all that other stuff is essentially men who like meat and like to grill and smoke and learned a few things along the way. but they're not chefs at the end of the day and nowhere near as skilled or culinary or know more in detail or all the aspects in cooking and don't have the sophistication either and it's an art too to be a chef and you have to be a good chef too it's harder as a chef. oh and you need a degree. and they're not chefs, not like Andy. they're just people who know some info about meat and wood and smoke. you were right about him being humble and respectable though. he really is. and he's a chef in its word. born to cook. born to make a better brisket too. you a brisket expert anyway? i'm curious.

@dpclerks09 7 месяцев назад

Chef, your honesty and transparency is inspiring, to say the least. I fought my attention span and watched the whole way through just out of respect for it. It wasn't that difficult, because you consistently provide thorough and excellent instruction. If you want good sides next time you're in ATX, checkout Interstellar BBQ up north around 620 and Lakeline. They consistently have insanely delicious and creative sides and desserts. It's one of the things I miss most about living near the city

@Tango_November 7 месяцев назад

Great job with this one! Love your interpretation on the sides for the brisket. Safe to say even a non-ideal smoked brisket is still good brisket.

@DPRX99 7 месяцев назад

I’ve said this for years. So many BBQ places serve great proteins but have below average or straight up gross sides. Andy is on point as usual. Love the videos!

@jefflockwood-weed 7 месяцев назад

I must agree with your opinion on the sides. I have always preferred more acidic sides, vinaigrette cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, pickled onions and cucumbers being my favorite. I love your take on the chimichurri❤. Thanks Andy🎉

@sooperman12 7 месяцев назад

I love that you didn't have a great brisket cook and you still showed it. You think from other channels that they just nail every brisket cook and it's just not true. You can do the same thing every time and you're going to get some bad cooks because no two cuts of brisket are the same. I'm here for it because you tried and showed the results good or bad. Great attempt chef. We know you'll be back trying to perfect it.

Franklin's BBQ is by far the finest Brisket BBQ..!! Andy has now had some of the best BBQ that Texas USA has to offer.. Franklin's Brisket is unmatched..!!

Super solid. Cooking is trial and error for every level of chef. Couldn't have done better than that on my first try!

@MrMarinesfight 5 месяцев назад

Great job! Smoking brisket is quite difficult. I have been been doing it for years now, and I am still learning. Way to go outside of your comfort zone and from here, it looks like you did a wonderful job!

@jacquelinewells7575 6 месяцев назад

Watched the whole video and rather or not you think your brisket is hands on or not I’d eat that brisket any day. It looks so good n moist. Brisket is one of my favorites!

@24kachina 3 месяца назад

Nail smashed squarely on the head. I wrote in Comments on your Texas tour video precisely what you say here - the traditional sides are gloppy carb messes, save for the Egyptian maestro. Well done! These sides are fantastic with any grilled meat.

@seanmclemon4283 7 месяцев назад

It's nice to see a professional chef admit he ain't no pit master,two different worlds, especially coming from another Aussie and I hope you continue this awesome journey you started

The origins video was great. Seeing what he learned implemented here is great. From the USA great job Andy!!

@HN-fb6md 7 месяцев назад

Dude this is so true. BBQ meat is amazing but the sides are always mac n cheese, baked beans or cole slaw. When I saw that Egyptian BBQ I was very impressed by the sides.

@ldarr1986 7 месяцев назад

I think you nailed the process. When I rest I just put my oven to 150f (low as it will go) and keep a temp probe in it till it slowly drops on its own and I’ve never had an issue. No guessing where it’s at and if it gets that low at least I know it will be stable at that serving temp

@charliedavis8894 7 месяцев назад

Those sides look delicious! Much better than potato or macaroni salad, coleslaw, pasta salad or french fries or baked potato, which is what most BBQ places near me (PNW, USA) serve. I could see a cold fruit dish (not too sweet) for dessert.

@Ca55per 7 месяцев назад

I'm so jealous of your friends, family, and producers! You are a boss, & anyone who eats your cooking is so privelaged to be in your circle.

@sama2965 3 месяца назад

I'm sure that you've likely tried a few more briskets since this video but you might want to give the foil boat method a try. When you wrap it, use aluminum foil underneath and kind of ruffle it/curl it up around the sides while leaving the top fat cap exposed. I learned that from Bradley Robinson of Chuds BBQ and i prefer the results over wrapping it in paper and that's without even using any tallow. Another thing you can do if you're going to rest it overnight, is to use your oven's warming drawer. That way you can maintain it at a low temperature for a long period of time. A cooler is great for a few hours but a warming drawer is better for overnight.

@ForceRecon112 7 месяцев назад

I noticed at the beginning of the brisket cook you said you didn't want to get any dirty smoke on the brisket throughout the cook. I tried something Johnny White at Goldees BBQ did where he put on the brisket as it's coming up to temp, cold brisket and let it get some dirty smoke at the start. It actually improves the smoke flavor which i find very appealing

@dbdb3447 7 месяцев назад

The honesty is what kept me watching ty. A chef and a newby deserve this.

@bantam21 7 месяцев назад

Looks great chef! Something to consider next time. Smoke the brisket fat cap up and when you hit 165, place two pieces of aluminum foil underneath and create a foil boat that only covers the bottom half. The brisket will be nice a juicy resting in the rendered fat of the aluminum boat. The sides look amazing!

@Starkss97 7 месяцев назад

Good stuff man, im entering my journey into brisket buying my first smoker soon. I need this videos that give a “beginners” perspective. Thanks for the information

@BBQJunkienl 7 месяцев назад

Looks like my first brisket cook. Coudl be better, but for sure edible. Love that you're being honoust!

@kyliemcdaniel 7 месяцев назад

on those types of smokers there is a hot spot at the far end by stack also because of the way the air draws. 200 isn't always hot enough for max tenderness. for clean smoke i've found it best to burn wood down to coals in something else then shovel it into the smoker.

@jlaw3255 7 месяцев назад

Try a sous vide for resting. That's what I use and you never have to worry about it dropping temp if you rest it for a long period of time. I've rested in a sous vide for 18 hours before.

@debbiereilly900 7 месяцев назад

Love the salad and red onions yummy. Thank you for sharing chef Andy. 😋😋😋

@bills.6201 7 месяцев назад

I made a chimichurri sauce with mint before. I used it with a grilled butterflied leg of lamb. I spread some of the sauce on the raw meat before grilling it. I saved more of the sauce to serve at the table. I really enjoyed that sauce with the grilled lamb.

@cheshirecat7132 5 месяцев назад

For me a mint sauce is a must have to serve up with lamb. Dunno why I’ve never thought to coat my raw meat with it (heavy on the malt vinegar?) . You’ve encouraged me to try it soon. Cheers!

@Tonyhouse1168 7 месяцев назад

I’m a Texas guy and a big fan and I gotta say..that brisket looked just fine. Good on you. Thanks Chef!

@jamescosgrove6680 7 месяцев назад

I love how you actually embody the average home cook in your videos. I.e. trying something new and critiquing yourself on what you could have done better which is usually what happens.

@ElvisKremmen 7 месяцев назад

So close to that 4M Andy and more than deserved. While I dont cook any of the dishes you show I enjoy each and every one of your videos, thanks for making me salivate at some nice BBQ food today.

@dwjr5129 7 месяцев назад

Everything looks amazing! Being from the seventh flag over Texas (the great state of Oklahoma), I can say that you are correct about the sides. There is one local chain here that has a side of fried potatoes that is to die for. I’m not sure how they season them but they’re worth the price of admission by themselves. I smoke my briskets at 180F at the beginning. It seems to impart the perfect smoke ring that way. Then I wrap and continue at 225F until done. Low and slow baby! I’m gonna try that rice side. It looked really good.

@pattyd2206 7 месяцев назад

I'm going to try those sides, they look great! I've never smoked a brisket, might have to try.

@FatherJoel 7 месяцев назад

It's good fun. Don't be put off if it's not perfect first up though.

@joncurtis19 7 месяцев назад

I love that didnt try and blag it at all. You see so many guys doing trim videos that have trimmed maybe 3 briskets their whole life

@Nathaniels_kitchen 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for producing the types of videos that you do! I love your videos not just because the food always looks amazing but because you aren't afraid to show what could be improved upon. Also, your videos are just fun to watch!

@nilabakery 7 месяцев назад

The textures and flavors in this dish are so complex and well thought out. It's clear you have a lot of knowledge and skill when it comes to food 🤩🤩👌

@karenfanias9760 7 месяцев назад

It’s awesome that you go over the good and the bad 👍 I have eaten smoked brisket maybe twice, it was ok but not something I rush to try again unless it was recommended.

@sebean27 6 месяцев назад

He’s got a good point with the sides. In the US we don’t really serve complementary sides like he did.

@tristanpreece136 7 месяцев назад

I’m no expert myself, but I would say you wrapped too early as the smoke ring wasn’t very prominent and didn’t push it far enough through the stall. Through trial and error myself, I go to 210F or a tad higher for final temperature. But for a first attempt, you can’t complain. Love the honesty, love the advice. Keep up the great content. So good to watch the vast amount you do

@Domenico_Mazza 7 месяцев назад

Your sincerity and sharing of your process and tips is the best, Andy. So many cooking videos and shows just feel like entertainment. Your videos encourage curiosity and learning about cooking and culture ♥

@candym0nz826 7 месяцев назад

I love your honesty Chef. Well done for trying. I think the point of cooking is to try new things and sharing knowledge. Keep up the great work!

@annajosullivan Месяц назад

I think the sides at Terry Blacks are fantastic. Especially the potato salad and beans that have that lovely smoky flavor and brisket in them. Their peach cobbler and banana pudding is also really good.

@joshhalcomb5008 7 месяцев назад

Appreciate your humility and lack of pretentiousness. I’d eat that brisket and I agree on sides, coming from a life long Texan. Look forward to seeing your next smoking video and what changes you’ve made.

@peter26514 7 месяцев назад

Wow great, you captured what amazed me most about your Austin Video (KG BBQ) and turned it into something I could see myself doing one of the next weekends! Thanks a lot for this great inspiration. Chapeau that you give honest feedback about your brisket! Most of us would be pretty happy if our first brisket turned out like this, but I see where it could be better and so did you and were open about it.

@mhale1982 6 месяцев назад

Andy, for your next one, I actually think you may have gone a bit too hot. That temp gauge early on was at 275 Freedom units, which is hot for brisket. A lot of the advice out there is to do at 225 or 250, and it'll smoke for a really, really long time. Something like 1.5 hours per lb of brisket. Great content as always! Love the sides!

@MoonstoneSummer 7 месяцев назад

I very much appreciate how honest and authentic Andy is in these videos. I’ve never cooked a brisket so have no idea how it should look; his looked great to me! But I love that he tells the audience when things aren’t perfect; I just like that he doesn’t feel the need to lie to viewers. That KG food truck looked amazing and I hope to get to visit it someday.
