I like that he's honest about not liking the lamb. Too many food channels on youtube where they act like they love literally everything they try. Prefer honesty. I was just in Dallas area and wanted to try Barbs but she is only open one day a week and I missed her. Went to Goldee's and Dayne's. Barbs next time for sure!

[@JohnSmith-fi4vk]

Oh I remember her from Goldee's happy to see she has her own BBQ restaurant now

[@Kain9407]

Went to Austin and did a bbq tour over the 4th of July weekend. Went to Franklin's, Interstellar, Snows and Barb's. Also went to Goldee's about a month before that. Barb's was the overall best food we had. They 100% are a contender for #1 when the next TX monthly list comes out. I would be extremely shocked is they aren't in the top 5.

[@safeandeffectivelol]

Looks like a big twist on traditional TX BBQ with the flavors and seasonings. That can be a good thing

[@Kain9407]

@@safeandeffectivelol I couldn't recommend it more. It was the surprise highlight of the trip.

Thanks Ant! I like your presentation style when visiting different barbecue places

Chuck is combining the wisdom of her heritage with her own personal creativity to rock the BBQ world. Thanks for letting the world know that the next BBQ rockstar has arrived. Rock on, Chuck!

[@reuben5570]

Barbs is absolutely amazing food. I was blown away by everything she served.

[@58limited]

I went to Barbs-B-Q in April and the food was awesome. The line was really slow though. The grated lime zest on the ribs was a pleasant surprise, I now do this when I make ribs. The green spaghetti was really interesting and I plan to make my own version soon. Lamb chop was excellent as well. I recommend/request that you do a video on KG BBQ in Austin: Egyptian -Texan fusion that is out of this world; his pork ribs and lamb chops are some of the best I've ever had.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

KG, yes!!!

[@973Romeo]

since Chuck was the pitmaster at Goldee's, she already had the best foundation to catapult her career.

[@smokingtarheel3003]

You can't watch a video about Barbs-B-Q and Chuck and not be anything but very happy for her success. She's worked so hard and puts her love and passion into what she's doing. That's on my bucket list. When I go to Lockhart, I'm hitting this place first!

[@rickylopez2011]

those ribs are insane, the lime zest puts it over the top and the brisket is the best I've ever had.. the black charro beans really surprised me

[@scboleyxxx]

Ate there last week and it was amazing. She needs twice the dining room so her experience is shared much faster.

[@BenFeldman-kz7gt]

Ant, Glad I caught up to watch this. Everything looks wonderful and it is clear that they are doing their own thing despite the Goldee’s influence. However, how is their brisket different? That is not so clear. Keep up the great content!👍

Chuck just strikes me as the type of person I want to root for at life. Maybe she is a raging bully off camera but every video I’ve seen of her she just seems like the nicest most down to earth person ever. A couple of friends are planning a bbq/sports trip to Texas this spring and Barbs Bbq is on the list.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

its not fake. she is easily the kindest person ive met so far

[@CoolJay77]

Great video Ant. Good. It is going on my bucket list next time I make it to the area.

[@brianshelley88]

Lamb needs that lamb y or often called gamey flavor complimented with the seasonings. That why it’s good in Indian Mediterranean and African food. A strong meat that hold up to strong flavors.

There's so many yankees, northeasterners, Californians, northwesterners that have move to Texas that beans are now popular in Texas chili

As a native Texan, beans are delicious in chili. And when you grow up poor and need to make food stretch, it’s the perfect addition. The arguments from the Texas chili purists are just old and played out.

Yeah must be a dna thing or something. I’ve tried but just can’t do it lol

[@ridnthawave708]

OK I could have left a comment on any of your other videos I don’t know why this one maybe the way the video started. But, do you ever give a bad review, or, is this really not the intention of your videos? only to bring spotlight of these restaurants. I guess after just recently finding your channel here over the weekend I’ve binged on several of these videos with I’ll say kids having barbecue joints. Great to see these younger people embracing the barbecue. I guess when I see a video like this and learn that this girl’s only in her mid 20s maybe I have ideas at bringing this good quality takes many years to perfect and maybe that has not been true maybe that was a myth. I guess with people like Aaron Franklin and others who through social media over the years has really taught many people their craft, it’s not as hard as they think. From an outsiders point of view, especially watching one video after another I guess someone could easily say, what separates one place from another? they all seem to have similar looking and similar preparation of their barbecue. Are the taste that much different? The sides are typical and similarity although somebody put a slight spin on something else like Goldies in their sauce for the coleslaw. Anyways good channel just wanted to see what the big difference is on all these barbecue joints because they all look similar and what they have to offer does any of them really separate themselves from the pack that is actually noticeable?

[@HolisticPatriots]

It's great to see that Chuck Charnichart got out from the shadows of her previous BBQ job. They were holding her back and didn't appreciate her talents.

[@rhound50]

I don’t think that’s true at all. There are a number of videos where they all talk about it. Goldees let her do popups on their site to help her get going. She and Jerby still make videos together and talk about how they are all still friends. Just because she is doing well on her own doesn’t have to mean anything bad about where she used to work.

[@Rebourn365]

Best bbq is an arbitrary title in texas. I flew there specifically to do my rounds at bbq joints and there is no "best". Each have their specialty and twist on things. Went to snows, franklins, terry blacks, the original blacks, burnt bean and barb bq. Beyond that ive been to every state in america and always stop for bbq. Well over 300 top rated bbq restaurants. Trust me there is no "best".

[@majorrev8690]

Earlier today the best spare ribs in Texas were in my backyard. The title wont last long though. Matter or fact, its prob already been bested.

[@casdman200000]

Snows bbq was better in my random persons opinion

[@AntsBBQCookout]

valid opinion 👌

[@lyleswavel320]

Trace her knowledge back to Goldees and there knowledge back to Aaron Franklin and trace his knowledge back to Louie Mueller and the Mueller family back in 2005 from Taylor Texas

[@fletchbundy]

They name every new BBQ place the best & whoever runs it the best pitmaster. All these new "pitmastera" spent a year or two working at the legendary spots in Lockhart & then magically have enough money to open a restaurant using the technique they learned at the legendary joints. It's a joke. What bothers me most is how many of them aren't Texan. I think this chick is, unfortunately Aaron Franklin is, but most aren't. They're fakes.

[@Sam-jq3rj]

yeah your titling is stupid, everybody is number 1 apparently?

[@allieandbo]

Apparently you missed the part IN THE FREAKING VIDEO where the place was recognized by James Beard, not Ant, James Beard...as the Best New BBQ joint in the nation. And just so you know, The James Beard Awards are among the nation's most prestigious honors in the culinary industry. ps: "culinary" means food. Now go back and read your comment and ask yourself who's the stupid one.

[@YouTube_can_ESAD]

My problem with modern bbq- Looks great, but not $130+ great… I mean that for every overpriced Texas bbq joint, it’s stupid expensive especially for food that started out as “throw away” food that poor people turned into something special. But hey, she’s clearly doing something special, more power and all the kudos to her, much respect.

[@timc2620]

When you look at the margins and upfront cost of buying this meat - it's honestly not overpriced. Just go to your local shop and try to buy a 15lb prime brisket and report back.

[@AntsBBQCookout]

Crazy world we live in now.. 10 piece nugget meal at McDonald’s is over 10 bucks now. It’s wild

[@timc2620]

@AntsBBQCookout I remember when I started my backyard BBQ hobby in like 2012 buying prime briskets for like $1.79 a pound at HEB. It's now $4+ a lb. This has NOTHING to do with high end BBQ joints screwing people over.

[@Kain9407]

Bbq price is pretty consistent no matter where you go. It takes a huge time investment, not to mention the wood. Not sure where you are getting any real bbq that is cheap?

[@TheGonebald]

My entire family no longer goes out for bbq simply because it’s just too expensive. It kills me because I love bbq.
