    Another great spot in TN, that I haven’t heard a lot about, but definitely should be on y’alls radar if you’re ever in the Nashville area. From what I tried; the brisket, smoked/fried wings, burgers, ribs and tallow curly fries are all incredible! So make sure you visit Charlie at Single Tree and let him know I sent you!

    If you enjoyed the video make sure to like it and share it! It really helps these videos get more traction which allows me to continue to travel and make more in the future 🙂

    Currently editing the next BBQ story at Burnt Bean! I have been trying to coordinate schedules with Ernest for almost a year now, and so I am so excited to share this next story with y’all!

  2. Ant, I absolutely love these video series . You ability to create and edit your vision has expanded and improved so much over the last few years…. To the point, these are easily tv mainstream tv / streaming level of quality. You should be proud man, and have way more views. Big love from UK.

  3. Only problem with this guys logic in that he "wont serve an inferior product to his customers" regarding choice versus prime is he is trusting a govt USDA grader who is watching many sides of beef roll down a line at a fast rate of speed to distinguish that. Let me reiterate these are government workers who often are just there for a paycheck. It would be who of him to work briefly in a meat packing facility to better understand this. I see "prime" cuts that are choice at best regularly. If he wants to be that premier then he needs to go into the meat packing facilities himself and hand select every morning like top steakhouses such as Peter Luger do. There will never be a "Nike" of BBQ because any barbeque restaurant that attempts to turn into a chain and serves in volume loses quality and the essence of what top BBQ is meant to be. Dickey's, Rudy's, etc are perfect examples of this. Can only ever be average bbq at best when serving in volume as he cant physically oversee every restaurant and people he hires will never put the love into it he will. Especially modern workers post-covid. The average restaurant employee simply doesn't give AF anymore and the only way to make them give AF is to be there everyday yourself and drive them which is impossible as a chain. The best BBQ chefs in the world such as Aaron Franklin and Jirby understand this. Hence why Jirbys new restaurant only serves ribs and not the full Goldees menu. This guy may be a veteran pitmaster but his comments show he is extremely wet behind the ears in running businesses. With all that said I wish all the best to him and suspect he will have to make a tough choice as he attempts to grow between quality and volume.
