Hi! I'm Harry Soo, a Grand Champion pitmaster from in Diamond Bar, near Los Angeles. Welcome to my vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.
On weekdays, I'm an IT nerd living a Dilbertesque existence in a fabric covered cubicle in downtown LA. I'm the head tour guide for a team of IT project managers who build datacenters, networks, servers, and infrastructure that helps bring tap water to 300 cities and 20 million residents in SoCal.
On weekends, I come alive as a pitmaster, competitor, and BBQ instructor. You've seen me on BBQ Pitmasters, Food Network, Chopped Grill Masters, Smoked, Cutthroat Kitchen, and local TV in California. My shtick is I've used a humble 18-inch Weber Smokey Mountain smoker to win 100+ first places and 1st place USA in the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) awards including best chicken, brisket, and sirloin; and I've won over 30 Grand Championships. I've personally taught 250+ classes and trained 4,000+ pitmasters in small hands-on dozen student classes in the US, Sydney, Perth, London, Kuala Lumpur, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii.
I get many questions weekly about how to grill and barbecue. Since I started cooking professionally in 2008, I've answered thousands via email, so I decided to post my answers via video to reach a wider audience. I'll do my best to post a video on my channel periodically. I upload vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.

I'm so glad you were able to hang out with Famous Dave and check out his method of cooking ribs and his Aquarium cooker. I've never seen anything like that cooker? The ribs looked fabulous and I know you enjoyed hanging out with him at his lake house. Hope to see you again soon my friend!!! Cheers to ya Harry!!!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Such a fun time with the grace and humility of a BBQ legend. I was honored and humbled. I would like to come be to hang with my Texas buddies. How does the Oct to Dec calendar look? I ran into Aimem Claimen James at the Royal and we had a good time chatting

[@apostle.rayshawnhutchinson3717]

Hi T-ROY the Aquarium bbq pit is a Chicago native. Invented in 1950 the Aquarium smoker is the definition of Chicago style bbq and makes our BBQ distinct due to the style of cooking. The Aquarium is an open wood fire pit. Similar to a Santa Maria grill but with heavy smoke and higher heat. We use a water hose to keep it down. Shoot me your email and I'll send you a link to the history of Chicago BBQ. And the Aquarium smoker! I use 2 of them at both of my restaurants right here in Chicago as well as many other Pitmasters here in the Chicago region!

[@Becauseimme]

My granddaddy got me started in BBQ and uncle Dave got me wanting to own a chain of restaurants, and sensei Harry you taught me how to elevate flavor and pay attention to the details. My two BBQ heroes in one video almost brought tears to my eyes. Please go back, this man is a BBQ treasure.

Great video Harry and Dave! I hope Dave gets to read this, For years I went with my family, and friends to Famous Daves in Brick NJ. It was, and will always be my favorite restaurant forever. The food and décor were always fantastic. So many great memories, and laughs in your restaurant. It was terrible when you closed the restaurant, but we made the long drive to your restaurant in Metuchen. Then you closed this restaurant. It's been a couple years since I've had your great ribs. Please consider opening up again in the Brick NJ area. Any way thanks for the great food, and memories. So many great times, I don't think it I can ever replace them. Loved Brick!! Thank you so very much Dave!!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

Will do!

[@bensebaugh6017]

To be perfectly honest, I don't use his stuff that much except for Wilber's revenge which is a good habanero to spice up sauce but, I have been eating at a location in TN for a long time. It used to be one of our favorite places, especially for the south side rib tips which come with a different sauce you can't buy. Used to be really good and then became so salty it could kill a horse. We just don't go there anymore because the quality seems to have slid off a cliff in recent years. Last trip there was two years ago and it was some of the worst bbq I have ever had beside the fact everything was filthy. To give credit where it is due however the Sweet and Zesty (I think) is what turned me on to allspice and malt vinegar in a bbq sauce. Such a good combination with so many applications it was the one thing that changed my cooking permanently and cemented itself in my mind. So many modifiers to those two simple ingredients... pineapple, rum, lime, dark brown sugar, apples, cardamom, fennel, mango, passion fruit, onion, and a lot more. Those two simple ingredients got me going on a path that I have to thank Dave for because I didn't really think to to do it myself and probably wouldn't have. Man, I would love to be able to stop in and get rib tips for lunch and have it be like the old day's, used to have one of the best side salads in town also. *sigh*

[@LivingTheLifeRetired]

Famous Dave's was so good back in the day. Even before Covid, the portions got smaller and service was slipping. We still buy his sauce but quit going to the restaurant now, especially since Covid. Not worth it. That being said, I really enjoyed the video, the woods in the northern Midwest are awesome.

Alot of respect for two bbq pioneers.

I do think i'll try the coffee liquor idea in my next experiment. (side note i tried to pause and zoom in on that secret rub....it does look primarily brown sugar haha. i dont see any pepper or salt granules...or even garlic, onion, paprika etc...it looks suspiciously simple which i like hehe)

this reminds me of how my dad used to do ribs. tenderize them, then char them. doesnt matter how you tenderize them, but best on a smoker. Hell Ive seen boiled then charred on a wood open flame with excellent results up north.

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

So long as the rib spread love, it does not matter if it's boiled, charred, smoked, or grilled! Even sous vide!

So long as you food spreads love, kindness, tolerance, I will try your recipe and your food 😋

[@jimw3799]

another great video Harry!!! BTW, I spent the week before at Bristol for the NASCAR race and I cooked three briskets, 2 butts and about 9 racks of ribs (baby back) during the week (we have a fairly large group). I've got to say your beef rub is the bomb!!! Those were the best briskets I've ever cooked. I also liked the all purpose rub for the ribs and butts. If anyone is on the fence about buying some of Harry's rubs, I can endorse them completely, especially that beef rub! I used to make my own rubs, but have since figured out that by the time I buy all the ingredients, I've spent more than what I spent on Harry's and mine were not even close to as good as his.

Return the food and ask for your money back. May just be an off day for the chef

Really cool video Harry! I visited the Famous Dave’s booth at the Reno Rib Cookoff a few years ago and picked up some of his sauces and rubs. Definitely like some char on ribs and haven’t done that method in awhile. Time to fire up the smoker…

Sounds great!

@@SlapYoDaddyBBQ for what it’s worth for others, I tried scoring the membrane and while it was a bit faster on the prep, I got a few chewy sections. Not bad and good to try something new but think I’ll continue to pull the membrane off. Oh I also tried from your other video using the Smithfield Always Tender ribs with a salt free rub. Turned out really good. I did these with a rub with salt a few years ago and waaaay too salty for me.

The only other aquarium pit I have ever seen is at The Cozy Corner in Memphis, TN. That's a place worth going!

Thanks for posting Sifu Soo. I went to a Famous Dave's once and really liked it. Seems like they're all gone now. If you could, please make a video on his cornbread? I love the sugar crust he put on top! I've tried to duplicate it many times but can't seem to get it right. Thanks brother!

[@SlapYoDaddyBBQ]

I'm not sure I can get the recipe. I can offer you mine which many have told me it's the best cornbread they have tried. I've spent countless hours getting it just right. Not too sweet, good texture, gritty, and right amount of bounce, and perfect yellow color www.slapyodaddybbq.com/2012/04/slapilicious-corn-bread/
