Ashley ventures to Brunswick, GA, and Southern Soul Barbeque to examine the city's claim to the original brunswick stew recipe. Program: "Georgia Traveler," a Georgia Public Broadcasting Original Production
Germans settled in Brunswick County Virginia before Brunswick Georgia was even thought of. This is one of the best stews on the planet, both styles are very similar and awesome. :)
Brunswick County VA was established in 1720. Brunswick GA was recognized as a city in 1771. A margin of 50 years difference. Both Virginia and Georgia had German settlers, Georgia has an entire old German town called Helen, GA. My point? It could be that both locations had settlers that gave birth to Brunswick stew simultaneously, nearly decades in proximity from eachother, because both had settlers that brought dishes from Europe to both area.
I'm the Boy from VA, the one you heard about , them Geogia boys go hide in the Kitchen when I bring the Cast Iron Calderon out ! 😁 First off ...Brunswick Stew has to be cooked outside over open flame by Hickory & Oak wood. The meat ingredients are as follows : Squirrel, Rabit, ground venison mixed with pork fat, & Chicken. I grew up in the foot hills of VA where this was a family staple & also an excuse for all of the men in the family to stand outside by an open fire in 30° temps and drink Moonshine all night 😉
Ashley, you do a fantastic video. Next time I visit your channel I want to see a million subscribers. That stew looks great! How I would love to down a huge bowl right about now.
Is this the same place where the two guys were 2nd place and where you cooked the stew with the chef, I am confused as the guys said they didn't put beans or vegetables in their Brunswick Stew. The stew you made was somewhat traditional Brunswick Stew and had vegetables in it like it should, the guys who owned the BBQ place should name their stew something else and I would like to take them on the offer of 5000 dollars. Traditional Brunswick Stew is not made with smoked meat, look at the time when people started making it, no refrigeraton, no BBQ sauce, these guys have never tasted Brunswick Stew or they would know better.
Brunswick stew is from Brunswick Virginia. I don't care what anyone says. Is a derivative of chicken muddle and originally had squirle meat in it also. Debate me. I dare you.
@@Junebug60 I agree about Hickory House, seems like we could bribe an employee, you think $500 would be enough to entice them to betray their oath for the greater good of stew lovers mankind ?
