Real Texas BBQ in San Diego? | Ballistic BBQ

[@BabyBackManiac]

What a great interview! That story at 11:15 is KZbin GOLD! I love that he gave you that. Great job, Greg! Keep them coming!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Gold brother! Cheers Justin!

[@David-burrito]

@@BallisticBBQ Isn't Justin floating around on a ship? What's he doing watching your videos.

[@BallisticBBQ]

@@David-burrito LOL! He's back now, safe and sound.

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

Great video Greg! I figured that tallow and seasoned salt thing on the Aaron Franklin briskets was a load of KZbin crap! Super happy a personal acquaintance of Aaron Franklin confirmed this! My kind of video brother!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for watching Rus! Yeah, a lot of people look for that "Magic Pill" when it comes to having success with brisket! It gets the clicks! 👍

[@LumberjackPa]

Hey Greg, These videos where you film trying out different BBQ places is really entertaining and informative. I believe that you do a great job of bringing out the behind the scenes back story details that interest and inspire us in the BBQ community. Thanks for sharing. I think that you may have another channel being birthed before our eyes.

[@firsttriescooking]

This was a fun outing, Greg! Loved the format! It felt like watching a show on Food Network. I love your cooking videos, but this was a fun change!

[@mikemarshall2747]

Greg's real personality shines in these vlog vids. I loved this

[@mikebowerstv]

Another great Vlog!! Bbq, drinks and music is my kind of place and that brisket looked outstanding.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Give me a ring next time you're down in Cali. Maybe we can meet up? There is also a pretty cool place not too far from DL in Old Orange.

[@Brian-to1du]

This is great content, Greg! Keep doing these types of videos!

You got it!

I live in Central Texas and I'd visit that place! Nice job Ballistic!

Thank you for video! This is so interesting to watch what happening in your side of the world! Beautiful people, cooking masters, It is so inspiring just for life and something to try by myself! Cheers from Moscow!

Cheers Alex! Hope you can make it down here someday!

[@samshawn4887]

That turkey sandwich was killer! I'm loving these vloggs greg! Love how you filmed this and didn't disturb

[@richardbruna1969]

Yes! I was hoping you would do one of these reviews again!

[@dawson70]

I really liked this video. It was a nice change of pace for you, and it got me wanting to try to make something new. I’ve never had beef ribs before, but that plate looked damn good. I think I’m going to look into getting some for my Traeger.👍

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thank you Ron!

Those pits were HUGE! And no vegan offerings!!! I like it!!!

The only thing you need to know about brisket at 10:48

[@riccardo9280]

Yes!!!!

[@tomstestkitchen]

Great video Greg, as a Texan I approve of El Borracho, I will be trying to reproduce that "Frito Relish" recipe. Their smoke house looks a lot like Terry Black's here in Austin.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Thanks for watching Tom!

[@davidclinton425]

THANK YOU GREG

[@beppe524]

Please hit one of those old-school places you guys mentioned. Cheers!

[@Raul-id9gp]

That outdoor area is awesome. I'm guessing in SD it is a year-round place

[@jamey-pl4ez]

Did ya' get to drink that cocktail mister? LOL!

[@mikemarshall2747]

Definitely trying Toem, it seems like a very chill and laid back experience with an easy Platinum.

[@jonaht2330]

I wish you could have got the tri-tip on camera Greg! Good vid though!

[@ivse9696]

A very interesting and beautiful report, which I appreciate very much and I'm looking forward to more videos like this👍👍👍

[@BallisticBBQ]

More to come!

[@paulterrill2523]

I don't like Fritos or Polenta but I would order an El Borracho in a hot second. It just looks that good.

[@rsmiff]

Wow Greg. Great video!! So much info I had to add it to watch later so I could take it all in again.

[@BallisticBBQ]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@BallisticBBQ]

Yeah, ya' got me beat by about 5 minutes! I took the Old 80 shot from that corner on Los Coches and Old 80.

You are making drive from Riverside to San Diego, can’t wait

Wow, this looks great. I've been down that way several times lately visiting family. I'm gonna need to stop buy next time I go.

[@michaelh2797]

I would try the borracho, if I wasn’t craving straight up Q. The polenta and frito salsa sounds like it would also be good with a spicy bowl of Texas red! Great video, I like seeing what others are doing.

There is a lot of fat in a brisket.

Greg, what do you think would be the best time of day to go so they're not out of stuff, right when they open? I would like to try their tri-tip. p.s. you said "cheers" with empty hands.

Lunch

[@David-burrito]

@@andrewharris3385 thank you Sir. Lunch suits me just fine.

If you can make it for lunch, or early dinner on a weeknight. There will be no band, but less risk of them running out of food.

It is. Thanks for watching!

[@turbofargo]

Is their tri tip the Santa Maria steak style, or the slow cooked brisket style? Might be in the minority but really enjoy the latter.

[@BallisticBBQ]

It's Santa Maria Style, med-rare.

[@fletchbundy]

Right northeast of SA here, I'd eat that any day. We put freaking brisket in our breakfast tacos. The only thing I'm wary of is the polenta cause I've never had that.

[@SimplisticsBBQ]

Cameo or a feature restaurant? FYI Greg love the video.

Funny you should ask Greg. I remember seeing you in the Crazee Burger episode. Is there a prize for the first correct guess?

[@whodat9198]

Need to trim up that brisket a little more, fat cap didn't render enough. Still delish. Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano looks a little better to me.

[@TDRUSH1]

A good watch

I was in S.D earlier this year. Wish I knew of this place. By the way, their link that you have provided does not work.

[@hombresg33]

So Phil’s is a no go 😂🤣

[@BallisticBBQ]

I want to go there, just to show their process. Not really BBQ (in my opinion) but a very successful place. More of a low n slow cook in convection ovens and then finished on an open grill. I dunno... Should I?

[@hombresg33]

@@BallisticBBQ nah, no point. How about Coop’s in Lemon Grove?

That would be fun, hanging out with some friends baby sitting those huge pits!

[@phisiks]

I was expecting a phills bbq video. lol jk jk jk

[@BallisticBBQ]

You know, I plan on doing a tour of all the SD places. Phil's (I feel) is more of a kinda' hybrid grilling place, instead of BBQ... But, it is very popular and worth a video I think. Thoughts?

[@phisiks]

@@BallisticBBQ 100% a hybrid. I think it’s still worth a video, they have a rich history in San Diego and like you said, it’s very popular

[@BallisticBBQ]

@@phisiks It's funny, my wife and I ate there a few weeks ago while in the area. We were talking about it, and I decided I like their beef back ribs. Their good, but those are grilled beef ribs, nothing BBQ'd about them. I agree, the rich history alone makes it worth a video.

[@phisiks]

@@BallisticBBQ I lived in San Marcos and would go often. It’s a fast casual “BBQ” place that takes away the craving. I miss the onion rings lol

[@offroadskater]

Please, copycat that borracho rib!

Actually planning on that!

WOW that brisket is ON POINT ! hehe intentional pun
