I live in Southeast Texas, and I've tried just about all the BBQ places down here and redbird is hands down the best!! Those cheesy scalloped potatoes are awesome!! The meats are good!! That green onion & cheese sausage is legit!! Great job Ant!!!

[@IconTactical]

Try 1701 BBQ in Beaumont.

[@MikeBrownBBQ]

@timr0by I've tried it 3 times. Redbird is way better, and it's not even close.

[@IconTactical]

@@MikeBrownBBQ Nice. I live in Nederland but haven't tried Red Bird's yet.

[@MikeBrownBBQ]

@@IconTactical go try it out, you won't be disappointed!!

[@twatsonr1]

Don’t forget how good that banana pudding is!!

[@benmack8359]

I so look forward to these now. These are stories about family and legacy. With all the hate in the world, these just show most people are good and just want to bring people together. Great job Ant!!!!!

You can really feel his story and passion through what you put together here. Fine job to both of you.

[@markmelton8676]

It is on my bucket list to spend a week in Texas finding all of these spots. Great video, love the BBQ community.

[@Metzlplik]

Awesome story! I hope they achieve everything they can ever dream of...Strong families create generational businesses. Love it!

[@RegieRieder]

What a beautiful story, it is absolutely incredible to see a family so devoted to each other and the community. I will definitely be stopping by Redbird when I am in Southern Texas, looking forward to tasting that BBQ firsthand!

[@joruckus]

Great video. So cool to see Amir (and Chuck at Barbs) get their start at Goldee's. That speaks volumes and cool to see how close the Texas BBQ scene is. Supporting each other so that everyone wins. Can't wait to try this spot!

[@Patriotsfan12345]

Great stuff, keep the BBQ stories coming.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

More to come

[@ponypwr]

My Lil bro passed away 2 weeks shy of his 20th birthday. We set up a cardinal theme garden beside the house in his honor. I buy mom cardinal decor for every birthday and Christmas. Much love to you and your family! BBQ looks delicious!

[@johnbuckley8324]

Absolutely LOVE your BBQ restaurant reviews Ant...the best! Cheers!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you! More to come! Ribbees next :)

[@michaelwood6353]

[@RedbirdBBQ]

Thank you so much!!

[@asim]

Amir is the best they come. Need to get myself there before this thing tops Texas Monthly and the lines are insane

[@jacobwooten3107]

The view of all the sausage on the smoker when he was putting them on… thing of beauty

[@bbqconfessional]

One of the best new BBQ joints I've been to!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

🙌 🙌💯💯

[@benwagoner9741]

Ant, you always do such an amazing job with your BBQ stories. Great story telling, great flow, and always makes me want to go try their food! I can’t wait for the follow up when you try their plate!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Barbs tray video will be out in a couple weeks. But red bird is right behind it!

[@welovedji1116]

Family

[@commishg]

Congratulations on another superbly produced documentary. You are doing the BBQ industry a tremendous service by showing the heart and soul that goes into making great BBQ. Thanks for telling their stories.

[@GordCurry-it4xo]

Making me drool, lived in Libya for five years, 6 weeks in, 3 out, my friends wife use to make me special sausages for my birthday, they were xcellent!!

[@Twisted_Logic]

Oh my god, Port Neches? That's a 5-6 hour drive to Fort Worth. Talk about dedication! I'm gonna have to make the trek out that way one of these days.

[@StephaniePhuong]

PHENOMENAL VIDEO! Thank you ANT for capturing a glimpse of our family. We are so proud of Amir.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you for having me! You have a beautiful family ❤️

[@Stephanie-lm6dw]

@@AntsBBQCookoutthank you for investing your time and tremendous efforts in making this video extra special! ❤️

[@TTran823]

The absolute best! Such an amazing story!

[@mthorn640]

Great story Amir. My first visit to Red Bird was on a Wednesday for the Smash Burgers, they were awesome. We went back on a Saturday and got there at around 10:15ish thinking we could set in the A/C truck until you opened. We pull up and there is already 5-6 people in line. Have to say everything we got was extremely tasty. We had the brisket, pork ribs and my personal favorite the beef rib. I'm so excited that the Golden Triangle now has 2 legit BBQ places to eat at.

[@CharcoalDaddyBBQ]

Man I love these videos!! This should be a food network series! You forget youre watching youtube

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Haha thank you. The best part of what I do is I can pick how the story is told. Gets a lot more messy if there’s a powerhouse production behind it

[@bulldawgs2015]

Bro I’m so happy for Amir. Man what a small world. I used to live in Fort Worth and went to Goldee and see him there and now his joint is the #1 bbq joint in Texas. Let’s go

[@HashSlingerJesse]

this place really knows what they are doing.

[@wfodavid]

Amir was at Goldees when I took the class. I remember this kid. Great story here.....

[@chasedavinport7932]

the amount of great bbq pitmasters that goldee is producing is amazing, can't wait to try all of them one day!

[@SusanBooker-g9j]

Your BBQ looks delicious. I really enjoyed your video.Great job!

[@williamwilson2624]

This place looks amazing! You did an excellent job on this video! I love this series.

[@aaronpetrossian9673]

Would have never imagined another Iranian would have a passion for texas-style BBQ and open up a restaurant to infuse persian dishes into bbq food. Mad respect for Amir. That is amazing! Hoping to meet him one day

[@shaneoakley8757]

Another phenomenal production Ant. Wow. Shepard BBQ - Emerald Isle North Carolina… It might need a visit..

[@The_Riddler21]

Shout out to all the Persians ✌️🇮🇷❤️

[@jeremy5354]

Ant, love your vids. There’s a place here in Tampa, Florida called the brisket shoppe that you should hit up if you’re ever in the state. It’s got Texas style brisket and bbq that I think competes with some of the spots out there in Texas. I actually had my bachelor party there. You should do a video there if you’re ever in the states

[@TheAmick218]

I'm in Clearwater, I need to try Brisket Shoppe. Overall, BBQ is terrible in Florida lol.

[@numusbear]

One of the best stories I’ve ever seen! RedBird really is redefining Texas BBQ and what Quality truly is! I hope to meet and maybe run into Leah there soon 😉 💯 ❤️ RedBird

[@joshuavianes255]

Amazing video, I love all these videos you have been making lately!

[@aaron1069]

Guy is winning and i want him to win it all

[@eagbaseballadventures3067]

Loving all the bbq stories

[@AntsBBQCookout]

that's awesome, thanks for watching! I'm filming another one in a few weeks, but in the meantime check out the one I did last week at Shotgun Willies :)

[@jeremyb6430]

I opened up my own BBQ joint called BlueBird. #1 BBQ in Florida, we play rap and hiphop music. We cook 150 briskets a week, we have 2500 gallon smokers. We named our pits as well, Marty and Doc because we are from the future and no one can stop us.

[@paulroberts1799]

I loved learning about this amazing bbq joint. You guys turn out the best bbq I ever had! Thank you Redbird and Amir!

[@zrkyl9238]

My family sees cardinals as well when we need a sign of strength, that really hit home for me

[@chryspee]

Incredible video. The story is great. When he broke up talking about his brother Cody was it. Can't wait to try this BBQ. I'm already a lil bias; being that Ive for Fam on the staff(Zach). I'm a perveyor of smoked meat...period. South Texas does it right.

[@fernandocontreras6678]

wow can't wait to try this place great story, good food and what better than to be with family ...may god keep blessing u and ur family

[@DrewBarnett-zp6sh]

Beautifully done Ant! You put a top notch video together here. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the craft.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thank you! Trying to get better each one :)

[@DrewBarnett-zp6sh]

I would have to agree that you are!! I’ve watched them all more than once! Keep on grinding buddy!!

[@mouafishing559]

It’s cool how mom and step mom can get along

[@TheRentrap]

Man I love being back home but every time I see or hear someone mention BBQ, god damn I start missing Texas

[@gailjordan9250]

I'm local, but I didn't know about Redbird. My son in Corpus Christi just sent this link. I'm definitely going to visit.

[@hakeemawbrey8571]

another amazing episode Ant!

[@NOLMT5]

Watching from new Zealand, hopefully get to travel Texas one day to try food like this

[@loganglenn5473]

He’s damn right you have to have a crew I run a trailer by my self 4 briskets 6 racks of ribs pulled pork turkey sausage burgers chicken tri tip pork belly burnt ends sheeeesh it’s work but I love it

[@Kailani35]

Thanks for sharing this amazing story. I will definitely be checking out Redbird. They deserve this recognition. I can’t wait to taste what y’all cooking up.

[@ksulivings]

Awesome stuff…subscribed ! Great work keep it up

[@DannyBFishing]

All round the best BBQ spotlight video I've seen! Yall presented their story perfect and his passion and love for BBQ and family is undeniable! I hope to make my passion my work as well one day. Inspirational for sure. I'll be making the drive from Houston asap! Kudos to everyone involved.

[@b0o_yaa197]

Love the documentary! Your quality of work gets better and better each time. The story is very touching as well. I hope to make it down there and try it out.

[@Beau26102]

I believe in Cardinals, too. Bless your vision, you and your business. I’m Cajun too. ❤️

This is a great video

[@4ilxn]

I love the vid ant, another beautiful production as always. I hate that you have me salivating like a starving dog before work & im no where near the great state of texas to taste a bite of this heavenly goodness.

[@ronaldreese7431]

Those briskets left alone that was forgotten, Texas crunch that and as a person that has never had brisket to try it’s heart breaking

[@scotchsunday]

I thought I was in barbecue heaven when I ate there. Great BBQ!!!!

[@TheBigburcie]

I love the idea of introducing a middle eastern flavors to the sausage. I love texas bbq, but i love unique interpretations of it, since Texas is not just a state of mexicans and german immigrants anymore.

[@groovyraul9699]

Amazing vid ant! They get better and better 🙌🏽

[@Maizan24]

Im.drooling over here. Wow. What great lookin bbq.

[@user-kk9mn7yv9r]

These are better than the Eater vids for sure.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

That means a lot! I’m a big fan of eaters smoke point and their production blows me away. I have nothing on their camera work and color grading haha but thank you still 🙏

[@ralphvsanchez]

Well done

Very good content

[@craighoelzer7118]

Best one yet

[@waynewolle3030]

Hip-Hop barbeque in Texas?? Gotta be an Aggie!!

[@888HUSKERS]

Dude you got me, when we take our family trip to South Texas we’re coming to Red Bird’s aka in my mind Cody’s. My family was blown away by Goldees. We were 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16th in line on a hot weekend. By the time they opened there was at last count over 400 people waiting in line with RVs and cars still pouring into the lot and up and down the highway. It was worth getting up before the sun was up and waiting all day in the heat. Not a lot of places do good sausages for BBQ and they are over hyped. Your food looks promising. Can’t wait to try it on our vacation.

[@bub7961]

I’m from Delaware and I’ve been to Scott’s and Goldie’s, next up red birds🍴👍

[@rhawk7372]

If you haven't ate here you sure should, its awesome,as a matter of fact I'm going fri.
