any bbq place that even cares about Michelin and their awards loses any kind of authenticity, such posers
1:12 would you say “Tender-NISM”?
Leanne love what you do for bbq your on my list to come check out Hold your head high you have earned it !!!!!!!
Pretty much any Texas BBQ joint that's part of the Mueller lineage is worth checking out, and La Barbecue is no exception. Good food, good service, good people.
Just look at the restaurant owners last names and the article writers,,, they’re usually the same race hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔
Now thats a woman! 😀
Can she make it affordable? Barbecue used to be the normal guy's food. Now it's gentrified for the rich. $100 for a packer? Obscene.
Allegedly Texas monthly (Daniel Vaughn) rates bbq but doesn't really post what they're looking for leading to corruption, favoritism, and foul play. This guy's reputation is currently circling the toilet
Partner not wife. Great BBQ!
la bbq's brisket is better than franklin's.
5:22 everyone that passed away suddenly and unexpectedly… right after… what, what came out… What came out that had losing your life as a side effect?? What came out that had nine whole pages of side effects????
What a story. How fast life can go. And beyond how precious life is.
So cool that they opened an extension of LA Barbecue named lil bbq in Portland, Oregon!
Let me tell you I’m in Las Vegas and I look up and I see their signs in Las Vegas so guess what the world global now
Love the episode but for those not in the know, Daniel Vaughn is a foul human being and his excessive power in in the bbq industry has ruined too many lives to count just based on his greed and ego
I love Ali. One of the kindest people you'll ever meet and one of the hardest working.
"You will be my legacy…" Immediately changes the name of the restaurant.
Wow. That went deep. I had no idea.
