Brandon Hurtado and his wife Hannah have created something truly unique in the Dallas, Texas area – their Hurtado BBQ Tex-Mex BBQ restaurant company is the fastest growing BBQ empire in Texas – and they are doing it in an inspiring way. This is their story. Watch next!
Welcome to Behind The Food TV (formerly Eat More Vegans Carnivore BBQ)! On this channel I document my journey to become a better cook. I travel to meet chefs and pitmasters at the top of their game – and somehow convince them to teach me the techniques that make their food special. I enjoy getting to know them, their families, and their communities – and I hope you enjoy it all just as much!
When I get home, I love to try these new techniques I’m learning – and I post those videos over on my new channel @EatMoreVegans along with my other BBQ experiments and tests – so if you’re looking for my BBQ cooking videos, they are all moving over there!

Have you ever met someone like Brandon Hurtado? What an inspiration right? Watch https://youtu.be/_zThp8r6Qyw my feature on East Texas BBQ next!
Brandon and Tony are great and friendly people! Had the opportunity to meet them on Halloween as they were feeding tacos to trick or treaters in their neighborhood. What people are seeing on here is exactly who they are in person.
Another awesome story and very well done. Hurtado is just down the road from me (30 miles). I'll be making that trip.
Book preordered on Amazon! Brandon's passion is amazing to witness. His team shows how obvious that passion carries through the entire staff!
Wow another great story Al.
Gives us all hope and inspiration!
Really well done! Enjoyed watching this!
This was next level!
So happy for them GOD is good keep on doing what you do.
I love this channel. You are really showing the world the people that deserve to be recognized. The only thing, I would go broke wanting to try all of these places! keep it up!!!!
Working in food service sucks… the hours are bad , the pay is bad
Great story! Definitely need to stop there on my next trip out to Texas. Love that he's a part of NTBA too!
Love history behind people and places
Branching out to Behind the Food TV was an awesome decision. All the beautiful people you've introduced us to makes my heart swell with happiness and gratitude for them. Brandon's story is amazing. His family has such integrity towards their employees. He's earned his success 🥰
The Hurtados are heroes here in Arlington, TX. They also help out other restaurants/food trucks with collaborations or pop ups. Rather than trying to drive others out of business, they want the restaurant community to grow here. Which is needed because we have almost 400k people and growing in Arlington!
Yall dit it again!!! I'm not supposed to get teary-eyed with a bbq video!!!!!
What brand/kind of cameras do you use for your videos?
There’s something about the way Texas bbq restaurateurs aspire to be their best that I believe makes Texas bbq the best period.
I am so glad I’ve lived in Texas most of my life, the food is amazing, the people are better.
Al you put out the best bbq stories on the planet.
Great video Al, as usual, you did not disappoint!
I love these stories thank you Behind the Food TV!
@BehindTheFoodTV an absolute gem. Thanks Al and team!
Once again, another fantastic video.
I need a Big Mike Burger!!! Glad I ate Brisket there at Little Elm – had No Idea it flooded 😢 (live in Florida) Was there 8/28/2022 found my pics and they were kool enough to get a pic of me between the 2 stick burners 😊👍👍
Congrats to both of you, stellar episode.
Brandon is a wonderful person.
Best BBQ video I've ever seen. Well done, Sir!
Wow just wow these stories are amazing thank you for what you do @behindthefoodtv you deserve an award what a blessing you are the depth of these stories are so amazing and for you to do this means alot to all of us your work is flawless
Al, I don’t know how you find these people, but each story gets better and better! So nice to see how supportive people are! Great job Al!
Brandon, please come back to Collin county! My wife and I are from South Texas and live in Frisco (adjacent to Little Elm). Your story is so heartwarming. If you had cabrito birria on the menu that'd be the first thing I order. I can also pronounce esquites 😁
Absolutely love Brandon and what he has built! The brisket biscuits on the Fort Worth breakfast menu is my favorite thing in bbq.
Great story! Look forward to that cookbook!
Okay, I don't know how it's gets better than this Al! These are great people and these stories make my eyes sweat and my stomach growl at the same time! I can't wait until Brandon's cookbook is released!
Mmm… Tasty!!
What a great story and fantastic dude! Your making bbq look fantastic, not just because of great food, but the awesome people behind it. It’s the whole package of what makes bbq so special. Thanks!
Me encantó las ganas y perseverancia de el y su familia y que ponen las cosas en las manos de Dios,, God bless you Hurtado family!! Very enjoyable video!!
2 show's in a row, dude!! How are you finding such beautiful people?? Its amazing how servants of God, shine so brightly! The whole family, and their friends and employees (and the meat supplier!) are just top notch. They are all examples to us all, of how we should all be. WoW!
I particularly loved his parents, and his mother had me (a burly Scotsman) in tears the whole way through.
Thank you once again Sir, please keep restoring my Faith in humanity, i had almost lost it. Nice work all.
