Burt Bakman at Slab Barbecue believes that LA’s barbecue scene is at its infancy, which is why he’s taken it upon his restaurant to catch the city up to the likes of Texas with dishes like brisket, half-pound brisket burgers, spare ribs, smoked Australian wagyu steak, and more.

Velveeta has a darker yellow than the cheese that they used
I don’t think it’s velveeta, I think it’s cheddar or Swiss
Is the cheese actually velveeta or was he kidding?
“He does massages on the side, he does bar mitzvahs, weddings…”
😂😂😂😂 that cracked me up
It do hit different wen you popping shi
You destroyed the wagyu
Mmmmmmmm😮
for the record… that tray is NOT beign shared. It is all mine
your meat cutter/trimmer/food preppers and dish boy is always the hardest workers.. always appreciate and acknowledge those before anyone. They are the one that keeps your place running…picking up after everyone shiet.. I always show appreciations to those when I tip.. It ain't the bartender or waitress..
I love nothing goes to waste
lol…… california can be a bbq mecca…. next breathe…… we can only have a small smoker because our city sucks….. Ready for california to slide into the ocean
LA is already the pit in which all the smog of hell resides, what's the harm in a few BBQs?
4:10 very nice transition well done
I love these videos ,i can watch these for hours and i fall in love with cooking even more with each video !🫶🏼
I love cooking i love the whole life style as a chef myself,and every time i watch these happy beautiful videos all i can think of how many times i was so pissed off screaming,getting a “stroke”cursing the guest who is coming in with a hundred changes and food allergies but still sends the food back once in a while but i still fu**ing love working in a kitchen ,even tho it’s not all rainbow and sunshine all the time 😃🫶🏼
How can Slab BBQ in LA operate the exact same business model and same name as the already established Slab BBQ in Austin Tx.
i’m from texas and am really into bbq. one thing we don’t do is use a lot of sauce because our mentality is that if you need sauce, it tastes bad. but man that food looks good and the sauce will bring an entirely different flavor profile that i actually really want to try. if i ever go to cali, i’m definitely gonna see if i can pick some bbq up from this place
looking good man!
The way he said “liberal amount of mustard”….ole boy f’d up.
That burger looks fire. I’m from texas so I don’t necessarily agree with saucing everything, we tend to not do that. I think you’re making good food tho and that’s what it’s all about.
Man, I love this guy
Expensive steak not cooked right and animic chips… yummy😱🤢
Is this the same Slab BBQ that just opened on Brodie Lane in ATX? They’ve been in a trailer for a long time, love to know !
Johnny's …Meh!
Those ribs were sparkly🤤
Great vid. Loved it. Slab is the real deal!
Gotta love CA. You can pump oil outside a preschool but not smoke meat at a restaurant.
LA doesn’t allow a bigger pit BBQ? No wonder people are leaving California.
California once again dropping the ball. The municipality won't allow for a bigger smoker…. I really think there are bigger fish to fry in California. Those brisket burgers look great.
Only California could stifle barbecue by outlawing a type of smoker…
I didn't see no sausage or potato salad or baked beans AT ALL Cali has a looooong way to go😂😂
This dude is brilliant. Making his BBQ joint more of a steakhouse at night? Absolutely brilliant. I'd rather eat this guy's food than 90% of artsy fartsy Michelin star fine dining.
”If they fall off the bone they’re overcooked”
That’s your opinion, don’t call it ”technically” correct because it’s not.
Lot of love and thought goes into his food.
The owner is one of those people I wish was my uncle..such a cool person with magical food
