Yea the pitmasters either get a share in the company or they leave after a couple of years and open their own shop, that's the tradition in the Texas BBQ world. And over the years people left to make their own mark. For example the young female pitmaster, she was in another video featuring Goldies and she mentioned that she will leave and open her own thing.

[@dilypopp]

@@Kenny-yl9pcIt’s because, when you work in a barbecue pit long enough, you find something that you want to tweak SO BAD. But you’re someone else’s pit master, so you can’t.

@@ypw510yeah bbq is expensive, but you have to factor in the overhead cost of it.

I mean, you’re paying for POUNDS of food. Go to any high end restaurant and you pay more for less

[@ypw510]

@@Benzy670 The last time I got some really good barbecue it was brisket. I'm guessing about 6 ounces of meat, a roll (kind of disappointing but even some of the best places just serve white bread), and two really good sides for $20. I used to go to a tribal casino that on M-Th had a buffet with a superb wood-grilled tri-tip for $10. They did have a lot of financial difficulties though, but I think the price of their buffet was the least of their concerns. Here in California there's a guy who does Texas-style barbecue and has gotten a lot of national attention, although some for the wrong reasons (like allegations of underpaying his employees and not often supervising the work). That cost about as much as Goldee's even though their costs would be ostensibly be higher in California.

As a Texan, it is fun to watch you enjoy our contribution to world cuisine. Backyard smokers are part of our lifestyle and we grow up helping with the cook, learning the secrets and growing it generation over generation. Keep spreading the word for us!

[@VictorGCancun]

I visited Dallas FW two years Ago and had the Best BBQ in my life, and now I have my own Smoker in my BackYard here where I live ( Cancun Mexico) and every time that I make a Smoked Brisket, Ribs, even Smoked Chicken all my friends blow their minds because is awesome flavor!! Thanks Texas!!!

[@chairofthebored]

If you think about it, what exactly defines high end cuisine? Taste? Labour? French cuisine is considered fine dining because of the amount of labor, time and skill that goes into making things like demiglace, but I'd argue that smoking something for 12 hours and adjusting for the minute differences in temp is just as labour intensive and fiddly Fortunately even though bbq can cost a lot it doesn't also have the "haute cuisine" up charge that would make it untenable for people to pay for Wish I lived somewhere with a bigger bbq scene cuz it's expensive as hell here in Canada

[@LandYall]

[@adamstanisaw2892]

Also you can't make good quality meat without good quality animals. So props for texas farmers and for cooks choosing their meat supply.

This is kinda uncanny. I've watched yall, for more than 10 years, introduce people to KBBQ (and as a result, I've done so as well), and everyone has an insanely positive reaction to their first time with KBBQ. Now yall have been getting into the Southern BBQ i grew up with, and it makes me realize how lucky i was to grow up with one of the best regional cuisines on every street corner. I'm glad you're enjoying your first stop on your trip.

As a North Carolinian, this makes me so excited for you guys to come try our barbecue. I hope you get to try the different regional flavors. Eastern style is vinegary, Lexington/Piedmont style is tomatoey. Everybody has their own favorite, you’ve got to try both to decide (I like Eastern style). And make sure you’re eating your barbecue with a Cheerwine! Can’t wait to see y’all in North Carolina!

As a native Texan I’m so happy you all had the idea of making tacos with leftovers. HEB flour tortillas are perfect and I’ve done that exact same thing you all have said. There’s something insane and lovely about putting world class bbq you can’t get anywhere else into a taco and eating it with salsa.

[@MezData]

HEB tortilla and bbq whether left over or smoked in the backyard are how the natives actually eat. Sliced bread is tradition, HEB tortillas is the truth.

[@annamariavalatka636]

Now to blow your mind even more.....True Texas BBQ turned this level of quality into a fast food business model. You can get top level BBQ at many HEB grocery stores and some of them have a drive thru window. It's mind boggling to me how consistently good it is.

When Josh closes his eyes, rather than going wide-eyed, after tasting something for the first time, you know it actually tastes amazing. Ollie glitching out😂

It's something that's written on the next page on the book the Statue of Liberty is holding. You know, the one that's shown says, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." If the French had gotten to the next page before finishing the statue you would have read, "Give me your beef, your pork, your poultry, a few trees worth of wood, a couple of days and some extra bits and you'll never want to leave again."

Glad y’all had a chance to try Goldee’s. We finally got to go back in April during our Texas Road Trip with friends and it was incredible. The banana pudding they make was also a huge highlight for us. My friend who came with me and waited in line complained that all BBQ is the same and he didn’t understand why we were waiting in a line for 3-4 hours. Needless to say he understood when he took a bite of brisket and repented of his heinous comment from earlier.
