I wish I had more time out there, but the Holy Smokes Festival was something I couldn’t turn down. Meaning I was in Texas for less time than I’d like. I’ll be back for sure!
That’s great you could get to Texas. Will be great to have you come back to America anytime! It’s pretty cool to take what you learn in Texas to the UK. I travel a lot as well-it’s the best! 💪😃
I'm only 6 minutes in, but definitely earned yourself a new subscriber. I really appreciate that you didn't spend all your time recording, I've seen other BBQ channels where they go "work" at famous BBQ restaurants and it rubs me the wrong way when they focus on themselves instead of learning/working. I look forward to going through your catalog of videos and seeing more :)
Hey brother. Brian here from Spokane Washington. United States. I've probably watched thousands a videos on barbecue. This is better than 99% of all of them! Excellent job!
Appreciate it! I think its just not the video i intended - however, it didnt come out too bad, now i've watched it back in its entirety and not in the editing software.
Loved the video man! Always great to take time and live in the moment, so don’t apologize for the content. Personally, I enjoyed it. Still waiting to see a fire management video in your Smokey oak or Franklin pit!
I just spent a bit of time in DFW and hung out at Goldee’s and Zavala’s. One of the coolest experiences I’ve had for sure. I can’t wait to go back. Loved the video!
Always enjoy your videos and commentary on BBQ. You hit up the perfect spots and looked like you had a blast. Like you, I am learning as much as possible about the craft as I can. Bradley has a great way to come across as a regular guy you would want to hang out with who just HAPPENS to know a great deal about BBQ. Keep up the great work and keep smokin'.
Awesome experience! Man I wish I had known you were in town. I would've loved to link up with you. Glad you had a good time and learned from some of the best in the business. 👊
Great video and no reason to worry about lack of annoying everting you were working with there. Also great seeing you with Bradley from Chud’s BBQ. Collab time!
Looks like you hung out with the BBQ Dream Team! Hope next time you get a chance to try Interstellar BBQ up in north Austin. Valentina's is also amazing.
Great video man, I enjoyed it, glad you got to come to SC, my home! I truly think this was the year they had the event more towards North Charleston, I was wanting to go and and take my son but the event tickets were crazy expensive... Next time you are in SC, make a trip to Myrtle Beach and eat some great seafood... Thanks for sharing..
Great Vid man lovin your channel esp your Sausage making vid that was a game changer for me and so easy to follow especially for a novice like myself to this world of low n slow bbq 👌🍖🥩🍗
i just came across your video, and i think that you don't give yourself enough credit. i really appreciate the content and super jealous of the fact that you got to work with some of the greats in the BBQ world and ate some of the best BBQ. 👍🇺🇸
Actually really enjoyed this video mate, can understand this must of been a nightmare to get all that content together but good job! I need to get myself over to Texas and try some of these joints!
That was a cool vlog! Good times. Totally reasonable you had better things to do and soak up than shooting videos, that's how you know it was totally worth it. Cheers!
Enjoyed the video. Those smokers were sweet. Hope you bottled up some Texas mosquitoes and took home with you, some of them suckers are so big they could carry you off. Hope you enjoyed your visit to Texas.
Actually, it’s one of the better BBQ videos you’ve made. I’m sure at this point all the finer details of restaurant craft cue have been revealed to you. You’re probably having a lot of fun coming up with your own flavor profiles. Now it’s up to you as to how you want to share that on your channel :) Looking forward to further adventures!
Cool vid, the format worked. We did the American Royal quite a few years ago and got to meet quite a few people/names and hang with them. Awesome scene and great way to improve your cooking. Tho comp cooking isn't the same as good I would feed my friends and family as its over the top
Just watched the video. Looks like you had an amazing time. So jealous. Understand how difficult it must have been to try to document it. I struggle to document a cook on Instagram let alone doing a full trip for RU-vid.
Hi I’m thinking of starting a small bbq business as well and was wondering how long can the food in the warmer stay in there before it starts going dry? Do you have problems with taking the food out of the warmer every time and the food starting to dry out?
Looks like an incredible trip. So many incredible pitmasters in this video. I'm sure you learned a ton from them all. Definitely envious of you on this one. Next time you're in Texas, Houston has an incredible BBQ scene that I think you'd enjoy. Cheers!
I did! Such a good time being around all those guys. So much knowledge. Houston is definitely on the list. So may BBQ joints around there i want to get to.
Love that you got to try Hurtado's BBQ. I used to live across the railroad tracks at the flat complex before moving to Birmingham, UK. Are you still selling BBQ for collection? Every time I go onto the site I see that it is saying "sold out".
You didn't check out Rodney Scott's place in Charleston? direct heat cooking so its different but still really good. Great collards and ribs. I think my best overall BBQ experience in Austin was actually La BBQ. Yes, the brisket at Franklins is right up there with the tops in the world but everything was great at La BBQ imo. Veracruz is also fantastic. John Lewis used to have a taco truck where that mural/ painting was but I guess he opened a full blown restaurant for it now, but he had some incredible breakfast tacos too.
I sure did! Didn’t catch any great footage, but I went there and grabbed some ribs, whole hog, collards, potato salad and Mac and cheese. Was delicious!
Enjoyed the video , don't be so hard on yourself , glad to see you hangin with Brad from Chuds , love his channel . Let us all know what you learned from your trip .
Cool vid! Hope you had a great trip to Texas again. Need to make it to Houston next time! Feges (as you know), Cork Screw, Tejas Chocolate, Truth (Houston) and The Pit Room are some great spots for more Q.
Plus, taking photos is MUCH less intrusive to the experience than trying to make video footage, so you’d probably capture more of what you’re doing anyway. Video only when you’re alone or if something feels appropriate to film 👍.
Dave I think the footage is just fine. Anyone who has had an opportunity like that, should take full advantage by paying attention and not filming. Now, the Mich ultra is a different story.
Your video title says Texas but you showed Carolina. Two very different styles although you can only do brisket one way but ribs on the other hand... In Texas, you get huge beef lolli-pop ribs, and in the Carolinas pork spare ribs. After smoking meats in Texas for 10 years then moving to Virginia I do pork. Now, there's a big difference between North and south Carolina BBQ also when it comes to sauce. I'm a Texan and get strange looks when I serve up Q with no sauce. I just tell these uppity people the meat should stand on its own and the only ones who serve it with BBQ sauce are covering up their mistakes. It was great that you ended in my beloved Texas and nice that you didn't fall under the Franklin BBQ spell. There are maybe a handful of original places in Texas that are 100% better Blacks BBQ being one. The problem is a lot of them are off the beaten path and why Franklins took off and became the famous place it is it's in the new hipster city of Austin.
Its a fair comment! However, I actually only spent 5 days in Carolina, but spent all my time with Texas pitmasters, cooking Texas BBQ. I didn't cook any Carolina BBQ such as whole hog, or anything like that. I just happened to film more of my time in Carolina.. But the trip was intended to be spent learning from the best in TX
@@WilsonsBBQ, Sorry I busted your balls kid. It was a great video. You get back to the states you'll have to do a few more as we have great Q from Kansas all the way east to the Atlantic. California does a whole different Q from anybody else. Next time you are in Texas try our great Tex-Mex fare.
