I grew up going to Riverport BBQ. Stephen was my inspiration for buying an offset smoker and learning how to cook brisket. Fantastic job! I might have shed a tear or two watching this.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

That’s awesome Jared! I may have shed one or three making it 😉

[@cliffbrown8992]

Another incredible story, but also with some very unique recipes! Absolutely love this. Thank you!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks Cliff!

[@heatherl9247]

This was a great story about such a caring and humble person. I can’t wait to try some swamp fries and chopped BBQ sandwich. The ribs and turkey look good too. My favorite story so far and not just because our fur babies were featured in the ad!!❤🥩🐄🔥

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

The boys did a good job didn’t they? Lol. Chopped beef coming right up!

[@smokingtarheel3003]

Wow, what an epic story about resilience, faith, and community, and great food. I can just taste a chopped brisket sandwich. This one tugged at my heart strings and left my mouth watering.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

@@smokingtarheel3003 really amazing people and amazing food Lee. I hope you get to visit there some day!

[@hobiegary]

A fantastic documentary. Don't bother listening to more that I say, just look at this great story and enjoy the ride.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks for the kind words. Really glad you enjoyed it!

[@rockymountainecigs3319]

Jamils is Tulsa, OK, not OKC. Eaten there many times, was on Skelly Drive around 51st & Lewis. The ribs and Tabuli were definitely served up as complimentary appetizers though, before the steaks. Great restaurant.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

lol how about both? www.jamilssteakhouseokc.com/index.html

[@VANKLAB]

I really like these types of videos. I’m starting to learn how to BBQ and this is great inspiration.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks man - I love making them. And I love sharing my journey with all of you!

[@brianrogers3509]

What an insane story, touching and deep. Thank you for what you do!

Thanks for watching Brian!

Such a lovely, lovely guy. Good Luck to him, his family, and his whole lovely community. x

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks Ian. I hope you get to stop in there and meet home some day!

[@perryl5150]

Again...... great production! You have really refined your channel. Top notch! Nobody on KZbin captures the personal aspect as you do! When I retire I'm leaving a place I grew up to look for this kind of town. I'm putting this on my bucket list. Thank you for the story!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Wow, thank you Perry! You should definitely go visit Jefferson and Stephen!

[@absoz]

Another incredible production team Al, thank you for sharing Riverport’s journey

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks Andrew! And good morning to you!

[@absoz]

@ summer has well and truly arrived here - nearly midday and almost 90f - might be time for a swim. Hope you’ve got something yummy on for dinner this evening (or had something yummy). Had lamb forequarter chops last night whilst our son was working at the Pearl Jam concert close by

[@WillE454]

I live in northeast Texas. Stephen is exactly right, chopped brisket sandwiches are a staple here. I love the Texas bbq experience as each region of the state has its own distinct differences as far as taste and preparation. I’m going to make the trip to Riverport Barbecue to give it a try.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

I’d honestly never had it before trying it at Riverport. I’m a fan! Make sure to tell Stephen hi when you go!

[@thedarkside3394]

You do such a good job with these videos. Getting to know about the people behind the BBQ makes me feel like I've known these people my whole life.

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Wow man thanks. I’m so proud of these and it’s an honor to tell these stories.

[@SmokingDadBBQ]

Craving barbecue first thing in the am now

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Mmmmmm swamp fries for breakfast. Yes please!

[@allenbateman3518]

As usual Al, great video as always, but this one is probably my favorite. Just a great story. All was going well until the sit down and the story started.. Not gonna lie, I may have shed a tear or 12. Lord bless this man and his family and the community that supported him at both his best and worse times... Thanks for this one!!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Thanks so much Allen. I’m sure you noticed I wasn’t able to keep my eyes dry either. Stephen is a true inspiration. I hope you get to go to Jefferson to meet him and try his bbq!

[@allenbateman3518]

@@BehindTheFoodTV Al, you already got me mapping out a trip to Texas to see him and Cooper. Come on over and ride with me..

@ DM me man. You never know! But don’t finish the map yet - we got 3 more Texas places coming over the next few weeks!

@@BehindTheFoodTV I have no idea how to DM off of youtube. 🤣 Ive been commenting on your page for a few years now to volunteer to be a taste tester on your cooks. If I knew how to DM you, you would have blocked me by now because of that. 🤣 Looking forward to the next videos..

[@jamesball7322]

Just stopping in to ask if this is the #1 BBQ than what about the other “I was schooled by the number ones BBQ in Texas” ?? If every place you go to is the number one BBQ ,how do we really know which is number one 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

Easy answer James - you go to Texas and try them!

[@debbiehackett9279]

Texarkana is spelled with a k

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

You are correct. I hope that didn’t ruin the video for you Debbie!

[@debbiehackett9279]

@ not at all. Just wanted everyone to know the correct spelling.

[@jmsparger4339]

It's Texarkana... Not cana. Great video though!

[@BehindTheFoodTV]

You're right! On both counts 😂
