I Got Schooled by The Best New BBQ Joint in Texas – Bar-A-BBQ
When Texas Monthly Magazine came out with their 25 Best New BBQ Joints in Texas list, nobody was more surprised than Cooper Abercrombie and the team at Bar-A-BBQ, who 6 months earlier went from operating a BBQ food truck on weekends to opening Bar-A-BBQ in Montgomery, Texas. Here is their story – and their advice on how I (and you) can up your BBQ game the way that they did. Watch next!

Is this family incredible or what?!?!?! Who should I go learn from next? Oh – and don't worry I'm growing the hair back out natural!
Great video Al, one day ill get to America and can try this restaurant !!!!
What is God’s Seasoning in the Rib Glaze?
Definitely need more vids like this!🔥
Al, ya big old puss – I wanna a beer with Coach! I paused, took notes and backed up more on this video than any other one you've shot. Like you, surprised by the turkey. I usually go with a poultry seasoning but next one I'm going to try the Fiesta Season-it-All. To be clear, Cooper had the turkey on for ~3 hours @ 275?
Too big to be scared of fire lol. Awesome line and great video
What a warm and wonderful episode. This is spectacularly watchable. Way to go, Al.
great video,very educational …thanks
That’s one proud father right there! That right there is what America should be! What agratpace
Damn fine video. Great to see a family business with so much love and care for the food they make and for their surrounding community. Makes me miss Texas.
Hey AL I've been a longtime Subscriber through a mutual friend A.K.A Dash lol 😂. I've to say this video is off the charts …well done buddy. Cheers 🍻….from Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹
Great video Al! Man, Cooper would be clowning on me too since i wear heat gloves haha. This is my second video of Bar-A BBQ video and this was very well done and entertaining, the 50 mins flew by
That was a heck of a video Al, felt like I knew this family by the end of it. Food looked great too, thanks!
There are many BBQ channels on YouTube, I only subscribe to Eat More Vagans!
I love your channel, keep up the great work
this video is a game changer. Completely different than how we are use to doing it.
I will change the way I smoke now!
It's amazing how humble they are to give out their secrets like that. The most important thing I learned is Love what you do!
Amazing
You did an awesome job with this video! All the food looked amazing!
It is literally the best BBQ in Texas. Fight me!
Great video. Will definitely have to try to talk my mother into baking those cookies. She's the baker in the family and the one with a stand mixer.
Great video. This is the second one I have seen featuring them.. They seem like a great, fun and humble family. Would love to try their food. Thanks for sharing Al…..
On location thank you for your vids. Also head looks good, like a tough guy, or Kojack. Lol😂
Yum factor looks HIGH!! I'll try both the beef ribs and especially the turkey, using garlicky schmaltz or duck fat. Thanks, Al!
and … Hallelujah! #nored
I will admit I haven’t seen all of your videos, but I’d be surprised if any were better than this. It was EASY to sit and watch for 50 minutes and I was bummed when it was over. Well done, sir!!!
Saying hello from the U.K
Thank goodness the red mop has gone 😅 to be honest the skin head suits you 👍
Loved every minute of watching this and im going to have too visit this place its now on my to do list 🎉
My first ever brisket was a 5.7kg on a kamado joe turned out the best darn brisket ive ever had, made it Texas style .
Thank you for the cookie recipe. You know we all have to try it out
Thank you
Keep up the good work all
That was one awesome video. Nice work and I will definitely be trying some of these techniques. Keep it simple. Use good protein and good fires. Sounds too easy…… keep the great videos coming.
Wash-Your-Sister Sauce! My life will never be the same. 😄
I now have a reason to go to Texas and say I need a beer with Coach!
Wash-your-sister sauce is the only way to say it🤣🤣🤣
I’m a sucker for excellent beef ribs, and those look magnificent!
Bar-A looks like just a family cooking for family kind of place
