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 ✌️😁

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!

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.

[@scottmeredith8409]

God bless this couple and should I ever get to LA , this is on my list. Great content and I just loved their passion and authenticity toward their food. It truly is made from LOVE.

[@mrsmokestacks21]

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!

Yea, agreed! Took me to the end to realize that I wasn’t watching eater and the like.

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.

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!

Check out Mama's BBQ in Louisville Kentucky, BB Kings in Memphis Tennessee, Jethro's in Iowa and Bart and Yeti's in Vail Colorado. Yes we've been to all of them. The best in Texas, Snow's BBQ. Texas bbq is dryer than the other southern states that are more moist and for us, better. But what's good is good. When we visit Cali we'll check you guys out. I really enjoy the made from scratch cooking that you do. Many years ago we had a catering business, one of our sons' is a culinary trained chef in Colorado and has cooked in Wyoming, Minnesota, Colorado, Santiago Chile.
