Ben Siegel didn't start out wanting to host events. He just likes to have a good time. This story started 7 years ago and it's far from over. Ted Prater came in early on to cook and now is in charge of multiple hog cooks a week, a room full of pickles, aged hams and more. The sheer amount of food that Banger's creates is astounding. They just finished a huge addition and they're putting every square foot to good use every day of the week. I sat down with Ben and Ted in Ben's spacious office on ...

A few weeks ago I spent a weekend with Joey Rubin and Joshua Luce from Gold Land BBQ. They had the full experience when they came into town. The moment they landed Friday night they were on their way to The Brewer’s Table where they would be cooking Sunday BBQ. Then on to Justine’s Brasserie where we spent the evening eating escargot and sharing a table full of delicious plates with friends and strangers. I love Justine’s because they have Kronenburg 1664 which is a French lager and goes well wi...

Blood Bros. BBQ has a vibe all to itself. They bring a ton of energy and love to the food they cook and the events they attend. The owners and operators grew up together in a diverse Houston neighborhood called Alief. You can see a huge mural in honor of it right behind their bar. You can feel it the moment you talk to them. They love BBQ and as they have said, this life fell into their laps. Enjoy our conversation and check them out on social media or if you're in Houston I suggest having a lun...

If you haven't made friends with your local butcher you're doing yourself a disservice. Nothing makes me happier than talking to the person who has personally cut the steak or the piece of meat you're taking home for dinner. Bryan Butler is one of only six butchers in America to be part of the World Butcher Challenge. He breaks down whole, half and quarter animals every day to pack his case every day. We sit down at Salt and Time to talk all about his life as a butcher and the information you d...

Note: This episode is from my backup recorder. It's not terrible but not as clear as you're used to. I spent the weekend hanging out with friends from all over the country. A lot of them were in town to attend an amazing smokeout hosted by Robert Jacob Lerma. I got a short clip of him speaking and reiterating the importance of working together in BBQ. I'm excited to share this clip with you. In this episode,I sat and shared a big platter from Terry Black's BBQ with Aaron Ross. We talked about ...

I sat down with Mighty Joe Yim at Cali Sandwich and Seafood for some Pho and sticky rice. We were in Houston Texas to talking about his work in BBQ as a pit master.

I wanted to check in on the BBQ scene a little bit. If you’re a cook, butcher, cutter, pit guy or have anything to do with BBQ send me a message or DM. The BBQ world is full of stories and I want to hear yours. I love BBQ. I love the people who cook it, I love the smell of it cooking all over Texas. I love the meats that Texans cook and I love the way the alchemy of BBQ transforms a simple cut into soft and delicious wonderment. If you listen to this show you know I travel all over. I’m the em...
