--------
Kevin Bludso discussed his journey to opening an additional restaurant branch in Hollywood. Kevin mentioned a customer who did not have much money but asked Kevin about his five and ten-year plans. Appreciating the customer's ambition, Kevin decided to collaborate with him. They built an impressive restaurant group, with locations in Santa Monica and one in Australia, which unfortunately had to close due to the pandemic. Kevin valued the unique flavor of his BBQ sauce and refused to let it be overpowered. He gained public recognition after appearing on the show, 'Bar Rescue,' and later judged on the Netflix series 'Barbecue Showdown.'

This is my first food feature. Let me know your honest thoughts on what you do and don't like about this video.

[@pasoldier9304]

I like the dark crowd in the background. Gives a certain ambiance. I would like to see some dishes at some point.

[@chuckmase2234]

I love the vibe, and in all honesty, you should actually get on camera with a few of these folks one day. But definitely, we need to see that food! Love this brother's honesty and will definitely be checking out his spot next time I’m out in Cali.

[@ch33zybreadtrellie4]

I’m guessing you don’t be giving him another interview since he’s not doing big numbers

[@jaye5926]

I like this dude...he is bluntly honest & that is soooooo rare nowadays...I respect it

[@thehardtruth3027]

He ain't honest. He denies how bad Compton is.

[@3FINGAPIRU]

This is what I consider a real OG to be. A straight shooter who doesn’t hold anything back and tells the truth. “I want to drink Hennessy” 🥃 Sounds like he doesn’t let $ compromise his morals and principles

[@Darkest_Soul_187]

And his love for booze😅

[@jasonclyburn1499]

He got a real cool OG spirit about him

Vlad saying “the spicy sauce that’s my thing” reminds me of when Hilary Clinton said she keeps hot sauce with her at all times

[@vladtv]

lolllll

[@Drew39Mill]

I'm definitely taking my wife too try

[@vladtv]

Tell them you saw it on VladTV

[@DarienSwish]

Everybody know a black woman with his same face and hair 😂

[@ch33zybreadtrellie4]

So being that this didn’t even reach 10k in 2 days, I’m guessing Vlad won’t bring him back for another interview

[@Sean70712]

Best bbq in LA

[@vladtv]

[@TkKirklandReal]

I cook the best BBQ

[@EmEs1018]

I dig it Vlad. You should do a few more interviews over some grub. This guys bbq is fuckin FIRE, real talk! M

First comment 💪🏾

[@JacobSoAmazing]

First

[@WestCoastShit]

We used to get this catered to my job in Gardena all the time. I forgot why. Someone knew someone or someshit. Point is, he’d send us food to say thanks for working hard. Bombest bbq I ever did have. 🫡
