In this second interview with Mike and Matt at M&M BBQ Company, we get three (really much more than three) pieces of HUGE breaking news. They touch on the fact that ALL of their pits are now NSF and ETL certified (meaning ANY restaurant can use them across the U.S.). They talk about the myriad of patents that they have meaning ONLY you would have YOUR specific M&M Pit and lastly they are taking all of their knowledge on the commercial side and bringing it down to the backyard side (we talk in-depth about the El Nino which is the little brother to the El Rey commercial live-fire pit). Their current lead time (not counting backyard items) is around 6 months. Another key facet of this chat is their digital thermostat. Mike explains that in detail.

The rush to open for Jazz Fest. They were in Australia when the pandemic hit for Meat Stock and just made it back before lockdowns. We discuss how they are coping with the pandemic and how they have capitalized on their parking lot to add a lot of outdoor seating. They Did NOT have online ordering prior to the pandemic, but now do along with offering gift cards. We discuss their sauces, specials, and menu in depth.

I initially wanted to chat with Brandon because of his connection to Texas A & M and Barbecue Summer Camp/Brisket Camp. I knew he spoke at these events and knew his focus was poultry and seasoning trends, but didn't realize his whole story and his incredible food knowledge.
We talk about how he became a food scientist from the very early days, his time catering extensive well crafted meals, to a deep dive into salt, pepper, marinades, rubs, BBQ sauces and more. I know that you are really going to enjoy this and leave with an understanding about food and barbecue that you didn't realize you could gain.

This chat was so great. It was actually supposed to happen over a year ago, but it seems like it was fate to happen now because we got a chance to explore what it was like to open a dream restaurant(one he bad been planning for 2 years) during the pandemic.
He opened Cinco de Mayo and goes into depth the build up to realizing that his opening would be completely different than he imagined and all the hurdles and fluctuations they had to go through to turn a sit-down business into a completely to-go one.
For his restaurant he obsessed over every single detail and goes into great depth about this in our chat. He also talks about his relationship with his mom and dad and how upsetting it was to not have them there for the opening. He goes into insane detail about everything they are offering and the logic that goes into why they are on the menu. It sounds incredible. Especially options like Creekstone Brisket, scratch-made sausage, lechon and red beans and rice.
This restaurant is 100% of what he dreamt about and he has been preparing himself for his entire life for this.

We talk for a good amount of time about Elvis Presley and what his two favorite Elvis songs are. We talk about how he has always been really reserved, but has gotten stronger and better at dealing with strangers because of Kreuz.
We also talk about Kreuz in depth. The food and the experience AND what his favorite thing to order is. It's almost an hour that I think you'll greatly enjoy.

See her Gerber knives here: https://blog.gerbergear.com/badassador/jess-pryles/ It’s been 3 years since our first interview and so much has happened since then, especially the fact that she got married a year ago .
We go into detail into her background and journey to living in Texas, but it's interesting to note that she has now lived in Texas for 5 years. She had been traveling back and forth for nearly 7 years before.
Also, it's crazy, but understandable, that she hasn’t been able to get back to Australia this year at all to see her family because of the pandemic I love talking to Jess because the discuss is always so educational. Her knowledge is immense and she conveys it so well.
A great portion at the end of this interview discusses her love of hunting. Super interesting.
We also go into all of her new product(she just had the Hardcore Carnivore Black when we originally talked, which is wonderfully the #1 activated charcoal seasoning in the world).
Here's a link to all 5 of her seasonings: https://www.hardcorecarnivore.com/collections/seasonings We also get into JKF(not JFK) which stands for 'Just Keep Flipping' and we get into her old school tried and true way called 'reverse sear' which is infallible, but takes 1-2 hours.

I sat down with Brady the week that Netflix's Chef Table with Tootsie came out so we jump right into it and about what Snow’s BBBQ and Tootsie means to us.
He’s been in living Texas for 15 years having moved from Costa Mesa(Orange Count) in California for a synthetic turf company doing design work. He moved sight unseen to Georgetown. After large layoffs he went out on his own. Currently he he has 4 full time jobs which includes doing design work for custom apparel company called Thunderwear(https://www.thunder-wear.com).
We talk about his connection with Chet Garner(The Day Tripper - https://thedaytripper.com) and how a Bacon poster he created bridged a friendship with Daniel Vaughn. He ended up doing a map for Daniels Book The Prophets of Smoked Meat.
Knowing Daniel and doing work for him led to a book party in Dallas where he met writer and photographer Kelly Yandell(The Meaning of Pie) who was on the board at Foodways Texas. It was this connection that had Brady doing work for Foodways Texas, Camp Brisket, and Barbecue Summer Camp. It is here where he connected with Jess Pryles and has been doing work for her ever since.
Mainly the gist of the discussion is that these connections, these friendships, fueled additional connections, friendships, and work. We talk about his methodology into how he creates designs for clients and what he needs going into it(he asks 20 questions to get a good overall perception).

Once covid hit, and it hit hard and it hit swift, he had to furlough 90% of his 600 employees. He has 10 Martin's Bar-B-Que Joints and 4 Hugh Babys. We talk about everything that happened, how hard it has been, and how 'pivot' has become the new sexy business word. He has had to redo his whole labor model because you 'can’t ever pass your inefficiencies on to the guest'.
He talks about how to help and that is dine with them, either take out or at whatever percentage is allowed and get merch, gift cards, and swag.
He also discusses why whole hog barbecue is important in East Tennessee and that there are are only 3 people in all of Tennessee cooking whole hogs(Zach Parker being one of them).
He chats about the flavor too of whole hog which is a subtle flavor more like a confet. He also tells us his favorite sandwich order.

I first met Erik at one of Burt Bakman’s underground BBQ pop ups a few years ago. In Burt's backyard and we talked for a while about barbecue, pits, and got deeply into the subject of welding.
We discuss business in the time of the pandemic. It's actually been better now because so many people are cooking at home. Selling a lot of the smaller models. He was born in Michigan and grew up with a woodworking shop at his house. He's always been a woodworker. We talk Lego and hamsters too. He got into welding by necessity. Doing things cheaply because of a lack of funds. This grew into a career because he was hooked. We talk about how FatStack came about and his connection to his business partner Steve Vartazarian(who is also a lawyer and owns The Brothers Sushi in Woodland Hills).
They offer a 36” and 48" Backyard 'Octo' Pits, a 90 gallon and 110 gallon for the home AND a 120 gallon tank smoker that is similar to the 500 and 1000 gallon ones. They also offer sizes of 250, 288, 500, 750 and 1000 gallon. A cool option is the Firebox griddle top.
Their current lead time is 5-6 months and you can go on their site to buy pits, but the custom ones you must inquire about.
We discussed this museum: Nethercutt Collection https://www.nethercuttcollection.org/Museum.aspx

Follow them on Facebook here: https://bit.ly/32IyLSl
This one was nice because it is in the early stages of the opening of their new restaurant in Crockett that they have been talking about and dreaming about for 5-6 years. In the last 60-90 days the construction has been rapid fire(they broke ground on July 6th). They especially want to thank his mom and stepfather for everything.
Currently they are both working full time(she as an Executive Chef at a country club and he managing and cooking at Reveille). They also have 2 daughters which are being homeschooled. They are moving to Crockett and will be about 12-15 miles from the restaurant
When it does open they plan to have the hours Wednesday through Sunday from 11AM - 8PM.
The timeline so far is: Friends and Family Event in November, December they will be booking some private events and in December/January they hope to have hiring done.
There will be a soft opening in January and the Grand Opening middle of February/or early March. All depending on many factors.
For the menu(which they have basically worked) it will be 5-7 smoked meats, 7-10 sides, and Kathy is going to be doing desserts and baked goods. Then after a month or so they will be adding plates. Burgers will definitely be on the menu as well as blackened catfish and specials.The restaurant capacity is 135 people.
If you want a shirt you can DM or message them. Prices are $ 20 for a shirt and $ 25 if you want it shipped. You an also email wade@mimsyscraftbarbecue.com

We talk about his journey, living across the country in many different places before settling on Oregon and eventually Portland.
We discuss his menu in depth and how he came up with the name Bark City BBQ(hint Rip City and bark for both wood and brisket) and we get into a ton of different specials which are much different than other BBQ spots and extremely creative.
We talk about how he truly wants to make Portland a BBQ hub and it's working with getting notice from the likes of Daniel Vaughn and David Landsel.
We also go into what it's been like since the pandemic hit and how he has pivoted, adjusted the menu, and even moved his cart to a better area with 13-14 other food pods.

We start off talking about how hot it gets in a pit room then get into his backstory. He grew up in a small town between Austin and San Antonio near New Braunfels, then moved near Galveston, then onto Fresno, California, then moved back to New Braunfels to work at Rudy's BBQ.
We get into his going to culinary school and how Reid Guess was the chef at Lambert's and called him. We talk about that time at Lamberts, his time at East Side Tavern and hanging out at Hung out Freedman's for a few months where he learned a whole lot from Evan, Chris, Brad and Lane.
He moved to Waco because Reid needed someone to come in to work at koKo because Reid was doing everything. He assisted too on moving koKo the truck to Union Food Hall.
We go into the specials at Guess being a Burger special Monday, Taco Tuesday(using Flores Tortillas), Chicken Fried steak Wednesdays, and a Donut special on Sundays. We got the lowdown on how things are at both spots.
They are both at 50% capacity now for dining in and for Guess they have have a BIG building so they can seat a lot of people if they wanted to.
We go over in depth the Brunch at Guess featuring brisket hash, brisket tacos(again on Flores Tortillas), pancakes AND pulled pork pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and their 'Build your own brunch" where you can add BBQ along with brunch items. He also gives his ideal tray for brunch.

As Julie's taco business started to grow(from a small yellow trailer that they wish they still had) they took the leave in 2016 to get the brick & mortar. The rest they say is history and their biggest hurdles have been keeping up with demand.
We go over the menu in depth(it's super creative, super fun, and sounds incredibly delicious) and talk about their seating(indoors and out). Most people sit outside where they have a large shade tree.
After listening to their story I know you are going to want to head out to East Texas for their food.

His menu is creative and he considers it not just a Texas style BBQ joint. More of an American style spot because of everything he offers. Insane sandwiches(one with blueberry bread) and platters that can feed a small group up to a small army.
Porky Butts BBQ is a laidback casual counter service bbq joint where they bring the food to you after you've ordered. The have a full liquor license and are adding onto their already popular curbside/take-out. For delivery they just do Just UberEats.

Note this was recorded right before the two classes which have now come and gone, but follow their social media for updates on new classes coming up.
We talk in depth on how they tackled the pandemic and the struggles and victories along the way. We talk about how they added their Patreon page, online ordering, grocery(for a moment), plates, curbside pickup, bottle sauces which are sold online to ship nationwide, gift cards, and other ways they have gone outside the box to keep things going.
It's very introspective and insightful. They realize they are now dealign with the long game now and plan on keeping things fresh and creative to last through this fog.

ALSO, see them on Taco Tuesday night Guess Family Barbecue in Waco
Also available for tacos at Helberg Barbecue in Waco AND in their retail case Working on wholesale options as well.
We talk about him smoking the beef fat that goes into the tortillas, about the possibility of corn tortillas, possibly a taco spot open once or twice a week (don’t hold him to it), Tex-Mex(maybe), and answers the question IF he’ll do a BBQ spot again.
The tortillas are an homage to his grandmother on the Flores side his family and how Adamson Barbecue in Toronto was an inspiration for putting the tallow in the tortillas. He's also going to be testing different Texas woods to see if they impart a unique flavor.
Also, be sure to refrigerate the moment you receive. These are not your store bought tortillas. We talk in depth about why he stepped away from Flores BBQ. It was many different things. It was mutual and a lot of it was he didn’t want to be away from his family. Very honest about it. Was it easy for him to accept?
All his merch was designed by M. Brady Clark. He'll be adding more so check back often.

This interview is positive, uplifting, and shows how perseverance can get your to where you want to get. We discuss in depth his journey to Austin, to catering, to starting his YouTube channel and to the recent success he has seen.
His motto is 'Don't be afraid of failure'. He cooks how people cook at home and uses cookers that people have at their homes.
Here is his most viewed video(currently over 800,000 views) which of course, was about Brisket. Brisket video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuwGL8JKPQQ&t=1 Over
A bonus, he essentially talks out how to cook a brisket(or other meat). It just shows that Alton is always teaching, always sharing.
In this episode I have the privilege to sit down with(I think Zach was actually standing though) Zach Parker from B.E. Scott's BBQ located in Lexington, Tennessee.

Scott's BBQ was started 1962 in by B.E. Scott until his father Ricky Parker purchased it from B.E. and then passed onto Zach in 2013. This is great because Zach explains the whole process of his business, how to order(tell them what meat you want, sauce you want, slaw you want (vinegar or may based) and they try to make it exactly to your liking), what his favorite order is. He explains middling and some cool special things to order you wouldn't think of.
We talk about what it was like growing up in the business and what he had always dreamed about as a kid. There is a whole lot of whole hog talk. He goes through 20-25 whole hogs a week and they take 24 hours to cook.
We talk about how he wants to give back to the community right now in people's time of need and talks about how the community reached out to him after his father passed and he took over the business immediately. We mention Elliott Moss from Buxton Hall, Pat Martin from Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint, and Carey Bringle from Peg Leg Porker. AND the myth is true about the tennis shoes.
BONUS: Zach explains where he goes for sushi.

Hours of operation: Wednesday - Sunday 11AM - 6PM
He is Texas. She is Orange. From the beginning of the pandemic they have been overly cautious. They worked so hard to make the right choices at the right time with their crew at the top of their list for safety and overall well-being. They are now a completely different operation than they were prior to February. They had a huge year revenue-wise and felt comfortable enough with the team to leave for Texas for a two week vacation.
They immediately shut down the operation to assess everything and have now been open with to-go only and have online ordering, which they didn't have prior. They are not serving pastrami at the moment(due to cold storage space) and serve beef ribs EVERY day.
Some fun Breaking News is that they will be bottling their sauces to hopefully begin selling in the fall. They will have three sauces: Thick, Thin, & Sassy. Also they are working on selling their rubs and their sausage for shipment nationwide.
This interview is detailed, heartfelt, and full of so much knowledge and experience. There are a lot of insights into the new normal food-wise that I was shocked to hear along with a lot of costs that consumers don't think about. A cool thing they have done is they opened up their beautiful backyard filled with trees to their customers which is essentially an urban park they can eat at.
I can't thank Alex and Chris enough for taking the time.

We do our interview from Pedernales Cellars(https://www.pedernalescellars.com) in Stonewall, Texas. I caught him right after he got back from a long(ish) vacation because at the time they distilling because of the pandemic(they had switched over to making hand sanitizer). Phillip runs the whole development program at Treaty Oak and we talk in depth about what they offer. They are:
Treaty Oak Red Handed Bourbon, Treaty Oak Ghost Hill Texas Bourbon, Treaty Oak Schenley Reserve Rye
Treaty Oak Old Fashioned Cocktail
Waterloo Old Yaupon Gin, Waterloo No. 9 Gin, Waterloo Antique Gin
New products coming: The Day Drinker, Gin and Tonic(and citrus version RTD (ready to drink world), Navy Strength Gin

He was born and raised in Dripping Springs(and now lives back in Dripping Springs) and has roamed from North Carolina to Nashville. It was in North Carolina that he started making moonshine with a friend and that leads him to why it made a perfect fit at Treaty Oak.
A great takeaway from this interview is a discussion of the history of whiskey and what makes bourbons, ryes, and what sets Treaty Oak Distilling apart.

We talk in depth about what life is like for them right now, what it's been life since Smorgasburg(http://la.smorgasburg.com) was shut down due to the pandemic and how they have pivoted a few times to make things work. They are doing strictly online orders now with curbside pickup outside of their kitchen in DTLA. The experience is completely contactless(you text when you arrive in your car and they put it either in your trunk or backseat). Pickup between 11-2. They are also able to experiment more now that they aren't on the Smorgasburg schedule(they were cooking A LOT of food for each weekend). We talk too about their plans for a brick and mortar in the near future. They want to do it with offset cookers though and have hope because of what Danny and Brenda at Heritage Barbecue have been able to do in San Juan Capistrano with their two offsets.
Online ordering menu:
Meats by the pound which currently includes: Creekstone prime brisket, Duroc spare ribs, Duroc pulled pork, 4 packs of jalapeño cheddar sausages(with rotating special ones), and whole smoke chickens.
Plates - Texas Trinity(which includes approximately .3 lbs of brisket, 2 ribs, sausage and your choice of two small sides.(beans, mac, or slaw))

Weekly Special - This week beef rib or smoked beef cheek
Dessert - Key Lime Pies Extras / pickles or pickled onions / 2 different bbq sauces

Curbside, Take-out, and ONLINE ordering added. This second interview was a long time coming and wonderfully it included both Kimmy and Bryan who are not only husband and wife, but work together at Bodacious on Mobberly. We discuss in detail what the journey was that Kimmy took that led up to her leaving her hospital job to work at the bbq spot. We discuss the balance of family and home life and get in depth about relationships and how additionally difficult that is to manage during the pandemic.
We talk extensively about the menu which is relatively the same, they just a little bit less of everything now. Specials are Wednesday (Boudin),Thursday(a special sausage), Friday(whatever Bryan is in the mood for), and Saturday(pork belly or beef ribs or both). Kimmy doesn't make the sausage yet, but she does brainstorm with Bryan about new creative ideas. Lastly, Bryan and Kimmy strongly recommend supporting local businesses.

Currently they are only doing preorders and announce on social media when that window for ordering has opened up.
He is going to be getting a trailer which will opening the end of August/early September and plans to be open Friday, Saturday, and Sundays.
This interview goes deep really quickly. We talk about his upbringing, country vs. city life, the first job he took on when he turned 18 which was labor intensive, rigorous, and ultimately dangerous. But this interview evolves into what is truly important to Joseph. That being the BBQ family and how they have lifted him up and inspired him along with way. He talks of Ernest Servantes, Robert Jacob Lerma, Patrick Feges, Evan LeRoy, Clay Cowgill, JC Reid, Michael Fulmer, Arash Kharat, and so many others that have either given him advice, a chance. or just moral support.

ALSO, every first Friday weekend he's open Friday-Sunday
Preorders are picked up starting at 10:30
This is a great conversation and to be honest, it felt like I was chatting with a friend I knew for years. He's that nice and that likable. More importantly, he's INCREDIBLY passionate about BBQ and putting out great quality food each Saturday. They are at the same location as THE BEAST(https://www.kcbeast.com) haunted house which is the oldest haunted house in America. He was born and raised in Kansas Cit and has worked in the restaurant business since he was 14.
They started selling BBQ here in February of 2020 and then signed a lease in March. You know what happens next...the pandemic. This didn't stop him and as I mentioned above, they are rolling through each week selling out.
He's building a smokehouse for his dual firebox pit that he currently has AND a new 1,000 gallon pit he is getting made by Collin Gray from C. Gray Ironworks.
We go over the menu in depth. He has the Texas Trinity(brisket, ribs, and house-made sausage), but he also offers turkey, pork belly burnt ends and more. He offers an insane array of sandwiches all of which I want to try. The sides sound incredible as well as the desserts.

We talk about a myriad of things throughout the course of our chat, but note that he is extremely humble and would rather talk about anything other than himself. I do get things out of him, but it should be mentioned that he has 6 World Championships at Memphis in May, he's won the Jack 3 times, as well as the American royal and The Open. He teaches all of the world and doing these classes is his true passion.
He was inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame in 2018. His catering company, which he started with is wife in 1993 is called A Sharper Palate.

Additional info on The Westover: 'We have retooled The Westover and we have many additions. We have a small local market, now, where you can pickup dry goods, specialty products, cheeses, charcututerie, beers, wines, and such. We will slowly be offering in-house prepared foods. A new ice cream counter has been built and we are proud to be serving King Of Pops, Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Gelati Celesti Ice Creams and Sorbets. We will have ice cream cones and cups, sundaes, and milk shakes. Our hours to start, will be Wednesday through Sunday 8am to 7pm.
We will be serving breakfast, lunch and a limited dinner offering. We will have the espresso drinks and coffee, as we offered before we closed. We intend to grow our dinner and market offerings in time. If we can do enough business to support our costs, we will expand our hours. We just need to grow to that. Again, please have patience with is, as we reopen and work towards getting better at what we are doing.'

We go into his journey from New Hampshire to Austin(it wasn't for food or BBQ originally), how he connected with Evan LeRoy at Freedmen's(where he also worked with Chris McGhee, Jalen Heard, Lane Milne, Joel Garcia, and more), his stint at Micklethwait Craft Meats, Eastside Tavern with Cade Mercer, then back with Evan at the newly opened(then) LeRoy & Lewis. We talk about how he got into pit building(this involves of course Evan again) and how that business has grown to what it is. We get into his YouTube channel(very extensively) which you should watch, subscribe and repeat and his famous fried chicken. We also get into everything for the classes they are putting on with New School BBQ University.

We go over his journey. He grew up in Half Moon Bay and started his restaurant career at The Chart House. He then went from being a sales rep in the surf industry to crab finishing to eventually moving back towards food, learning the ropes, and opening Native catering which did a good amount of BBQ.
We also take a look at his menu in depth. From Brisket to pulled pork to house made sausage and ribs and smoked salmon with sides that draw from the abundance of farms in the area. For dessert they are serving their take on a Texas sheet cake. While they are at 50% capacity for seating, most of their business is to-go(again you must order ahead of time online). They also sell local beer and Shiner Bock.

First off, if this interview doesn’t make you smile, I don't know what will. She has an infectious laugh and such a positive attitude that it truly gives you hope in a time that feels at times hopeless. Jess talks about her route from Bennigan's to Landry's to Foodways Texas to Republic Country Club and BBQ to Caboose BBQ and now to her partnership at Cherry Block.
They opened July 2019 and February 2020 was their record month...then came the pandemic. Since then they essentially reopened 3 times since to pivot and adapt to the new world with COVID.
I was a fan of H.E.B. in Texas before talking Jess, but now I am a HUGE supporter. It is so interesting and moving as to what they are doing for Cherry Block(it's employees especially) and other restaurants. Cherry Block is doing 5 items(smoked ham hock gumbo, pimento cheese, Dr. Pepper short ribs set on cheese grits, marinated steak sliced with mashed and collard greens, and red beans and rice. Stay on the lookout for them in your local H.E.B. They are in the deli section(grab and go). It's the Texans Helping Texans Program.
This interview too is a GREAT primer for restaurants, especially with the safety protocols that they put in after day one. She talks too about her management style which is firm, but with compassion.
