48 Hours at Michelin's #1 BBQ in Los Angeles

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Make sure you LIKE and SHARE the video so it can spread to more people :) Amazing time I had at Moo's, I love spending time and learning from people who love BBQ like i do! This video didn't even scratch the surface of all of the mentions and accolades Moo's has received in such a short period of time. From the Michelin guide to a James Beard nomination, and so much more. They are absolutely killing it! Big thanks to Andrew, Michelle, and the entire team at Moo's I had a great time. I hope I did your amazing story justice. WOW! 12 hours of footage and 130 clips condensed into this 17.5 minute video.. This edit was absolutely BRUTAL 😂 I've barely slept over the last 3 weeks. Especially, after making back to back trips at 2 different BBQ joints (Heritage BBQ video coming soon!) So please let me know if you guys enjoyed this type of video. It's a ton of work, but super fun to shoot and edit. With that said I'll be out for a couple days but will respond to comments on Monday. In the meantime, I'm going to focus my time on my loving and patient family this weekend! Take care, y'all ✌️😁

Came here to say this. Great work.

Thanks so much, hope i can get the funding to produce more!

[@voltron3000]

its really special when there are great people behind great food. Congrats to the Muñoz family.

[@nachobihnes1645]

I'm a snob when it comes to the quality of things, i can't help it. The prep work, 4 day weeks, quality control and execution are stellar; it speaks to the commitment to excellence. great work (both the bbq and video production). It's a beautiful to watch people mastering their craft, or masters at work. Thanks for taking the time to showcase these folks.

[@LailandiAdventures]

There should be a warning on these videos to not watch when hungry! So so so good!

[@mikedavison1466]

These guys make legit BBQ reminds me of Dallas BBQ

[@dillytheeman123]

Im a native texan and BBQ snob, as well as a pit man myself. My initial reaction was " Oh yeah bbq in LA...." But these guys are doing everything right! From the smokers to the execution. Looks like a Hill country BBQ set up. Good job guys!

Ant, your videography is your strength. Your personality, your bbq, all of that is good. Your documentary style is great. If you did the music yourself too then wow. Just wow. This for bbq and ma and pop restaurants nationwide.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

@@mrsmokestacks21 really appreciate that. I am gaving so much fun doing this style of video. From the planning, filming, and editing. Learning so much about bbq and also meeting really cool people. My friend actually made the bulk of the music for this video and the rest of the videos going forward. He has a youtube channel Chris Doughty Music i have it linked in the description. Check him out!

[@rogerornelas1]

Been there twice within the past 6 months. Stumbled upon this place randomly before a dodgers game. Worth the hour drive from IE. Very delicious food and definitely coming back. Very cool to see how it’s all made after already being there twice. Sausage, brisket, pork ribs, and burgers are my go to. Great video and even better food.

Much props to all bbq cooks that can bounce around and keep an eye on all of them. It’s an art!!! I can’t even maintain my own smoker. Nervous wreck

[@billthomas6296]

They are difinetly blessed at Moo's and doing it right. I remember watching a video of them doing their thing in the backyard, I think it was Andrew Zimmerman, and seeing the people lined up down the street and thinking man this couple needs a brink and mortar place and then I come across this video and see that y'all did it. I live in Tennessee and have never had their food but I just knew that it must be good and that these are good people. May God continue to bless you folks!

[@BENBRUTUS]

Just got back from Texas, and the que was off the charts. Sounds like a road trip from San Diego to LA is in order!

Welcome to Cali Ant! I love Moo's, the food is great and this story makes me want to support them more, btw, I've been there about 10 times, very consistent food, very clean and great service!!!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Appreciate that! Thanks for the welcome and thats awesome to hear youve been supporting Moos!

[@NorthernThaiGardenGuy]

Nice work Ant! Glad to see Southern CA being represented so well with Texas craft! Do they use post oak or are they using the holy trinity of CA woods? Almond, Plum and Avocado.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

White oak! Man if i had a bbq joint in CA i would absolutely use those woods
