[@AntsBBQCookout]

🙏🙏 thanks so much, trying to get better each one!

[@brodemonz]

This man is a prime example you can be what you want to be in your life. Dedication and hard work speaks for itself.

[@mannvsfood]

I met Amir when I went to Goldees and got to chat with him a bit as I was first in line so I was able to wander around. He was great to talk with and super excited about what he was doing and at that time, mentioned he was going to be opening his own place. I didnt realize until just now that RedBird was Amir's baby. Grats brother.

[@RedbirdBBQ]

Man I really appreciate the support!

[@mannvsfood]

​@RedbirdBBQ much success to you and I appreciate the time you took to talk with me at Goldees.

[@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 ❤️

Man Amir made me cry. Red Bird has a great story. Good job in this video Ant!

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Thanks brother, had me crying too lol missed you for this one, but had my friend Bryan fill in for you and he did a good job!

[@imjustwillson]

@@AntsBBQCookout Yeah dude, Bryan is a great job! Shots looked awesome!

Thank you so much!!

[@Tonyhouse1168]

@@RedbirdBBQyou guys are making me miss Texas way down deep. I’ve thought a lot about opening a bbq place out here on the little island I moved to, but there’s nothing like San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas food; real food made by good people that infuse their story and passion into every dish. Good luck to you guys. I’ll be in for a taste soon as I can.

[@ricardojsaldana]

Keep doing these, each one feels like an HBO/Vice/Munchies production, but more personal and genuine. I love that you just let them talk and tell their story.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

The interviews are usually around 3 hours long. So I have a lot to play around with to get that final audio. I enjoy hearing them tell their story too :)

[@mrhalfapino]

Ant I say this every time… each BBQ documentary you do just keeps getting better! TV/ high end KZbin channels can’t touch what you do! KZbin should be thanking you for your content! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@preachermane1243]

Mannnnnn When Amir went to talking about the love and memory of his brother Kody……I mean I already am making plans to visit; now I want to hug him through the screen. The lost of a sibling is never easy. Motivation through depression and grief. Thanks for telling your story. Much love from the Mississippi DELTA.

[@beasthunt]

Dude, you're putting the humanity into the BBQ world and it's an amazing work. Keep doing the Lord's work, bud!

[@Aperson156]

I drive further to get to Redbird than I'd have to drive to any of the great names in Central Texas BBQ and it's worth it every time!

[@MikeBrownBBQ]

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!!

[@datravels]

Known Dr. Jalali for many years. Excellent video and very cool to see his son and everyone's passion on delivering great BBQ. Going this Friday!

[@TheAmick218]

Best series on KZbin bro. I love these!!! Red bird is going to blow up. Great story.

[@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

[@jasoncastillo1630]

Hey...We were in line behind Leah on our first visit. She was quite the ambassador. Ant...Another fantastic documentary! I am a fan. Team Redbird...Thank you for pulling the curtain back on your restaurant. We love your food. Now, we love your story.

[@480brad]

Such a great story! I love that his dad was an immigrant and he fell in love with BBQ. Great job!

[@ponderosaoutdoors]

When I get back down to Texas, this will definitely be a top spot on my list. This has all the makings of what a restaurant should be. Limited hours, small menu and a dedicated team. That’s how you get quality.

[@58limited]

Redbird is awesome! Some of the best BBQ I've had in Texas. Everything is made from scratch, even the mayonnaise he uses in the Caesar slaw. Try the chocolate chip bread pudding he makes from left over dinner rolls on Sundays. Koobideh sausage is great with the homemade pita and whipped feta.

[@AdrenalineTurkeyCall]

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

[@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!!!!!

[@J-Hajj]

Persian Cajun ......... love it!

[@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

[@michaelwood6353]

I can’t imagine the business you have!!! Cooking that many briskets and selling out is absolutely amazing!!!! Wish I could taste it!!!

[@toddreynolds1928]

This is insane. The amount of work and knowledge that goes into this place.

[@brendanchampion665]

Absolutely inspirational and mouth watering. I will happily fly my whole family from Newcastle, Australia to visit Texas and sample your amazing looking restaurant. Well don't Ant👍

[@Metzlplik]

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

[@michaelvanegas9669]

This dude is an artist what detail and great team work love his success story bucket list of bbq I want to visit never had bbq

[@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.

[@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!!

PN-G class of 88 here. Cheers bro. 🤘🏻🇺🇸🔥

[@markmelton8676]

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

[@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!

[@JOSESBBQ]

amir is one of a kind, humble and dedicated

[@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.

[@rcpilot5045]

I am an amateur pitmaster with my own rubs and sauces. Cant make the jump yet. I wish you all the success that you and you're family deserves. Have a blessed life.

[@SteveLoweMedia]

Loving the series. Wonderful backstories. Thanks for producing these.

[@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!

[@jacobwooten3107]

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

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

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

[@TTran823]

The absolute best! Such an amazing story!

[@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.

[@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!

Hip hop and Texas BBQ !!! Can’t beat it!

[@BenFeldman-kz7gt]

Ant, Another amazing video! I liked Amir's unique story of jumping right into working in bbq without tinkering first with backyard bbq. Where would he be now if he had been messing around cooking briskets from K-Mart! Ha! Great job! Another person helping to fulfill Kirby's prophesy that the top 10 in Texas BBQ will be filled by people trained at Goldee's! Keep up the great work!

[@aaronperez1238]

Great story the BBQ looks so amazing. Just made me a huge fan from San Antonio Tx

[@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

[@paulroberts1799]

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.

[@ricl472]

Thanks for the expense of experimenting. My thoughts about the creosote of the stack is what used to happen when I first started. I consistently got the bitter smoky taste. That was with no flame, dirty smoke, and unburned fresh logs throughout the cook. Later, smaller splits with an open flame and mostly closed stacks worked. The pit wasn't sealed. The fire was open flame but temp was low as I could get it and flame was controlled by keeping the least amount of wood with the cleanest flame and continuously feeding small splits to keep the coal bed. The bark was black, meat tender and pink, but juicy and tender. Almost perfect. But took a lot of attention.

[@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.

[@Igot2fly1]

That is amazing story. I can’t wait to come visit you next time I see my sisters in Orange Texas. Congratulations and I wish you the best of success

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@CoolBrewDubstep]

Love the series! Would be cool if you visited some Midwest places like Kansas City, Chicago, Memphis etc. I love Texas but great BBQ exists all over!

[@SamSung33377]

Their bbq sucks!

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