Surprising Chinese Strangers with American BBQ?!

Today we went looking for strangers in NYC’s Brooklyn Chinatown who had never had American BBQ before to take them to try American BBQ for the first time! We had all the specialties, including Texas style smoked brisket, pulled pork, sausage, mac and cheese, collard greens, baked beans, and cornbread. It was an amazing meal, and a really interesting experience watching Chinese people try American barbecue for the first time! And of course, given that this video is on my channel it does feature white guys talking with people in Chinese ;-) although that isn’t the main focus of this vid!
If you’re curious, the restaurant we went to was Hometown BBQ (Hometown Bar-B-Que) in Industry City, Brooklyn.
Editor’s note: We filmed this video last week, before the coronavirus outbreak started in earnest in NYC. Everyone should take precautions as advised by your local health authorities. Stay safe y’all!!!

Some tips to help people trust you on the street more: • Have some custom shirts printed with your logo and have camera man wear one. • Get a sign printed at a local print shop with the KZbin logo on it • Hold a microphone, even if it’s fake. This will help people feel less suspicious

[@kennethfeld6639]

The "Red bits" are called a smoke ring and it is a chemical reaction between the meat and the smoke. the pulled pork can be slow cooked at 250-325F for 6-24 hours depending on the methods used. Typically you cook pork to 160F and beef to 135F, but both pulled pork and brisket are cooked to roughly 205F, but slowly, so the fats and other tough parts are slowly melted away leaving only the juicy fats and succulent meat.

[@Ven_de_Thiel]

Kenneth Feld damn, the more you know

[@RadDadisRad]

You cook to 190-200F internal temperature to break down the collagen and fat.

[@-MarkWinston-]

203 to be exact.

[@RadDadisRad]

I generally bring large pieces to 165 before wrapping in foil then bringing to 185-190 in the smoker. Once 190 is met I remove from smoker wrap it more in foil then wrap in blankets or towels and place in a well insulated cooler and let it slowly creep to final temp and then down to 150 before unwrapping and serving. This method works well for pork and beef. If you do this to chicken it gets really soggy if whole, it’s just fine if you pull it.

Hi Xiaoma! Collard greens are a part of the Brassica family(Kale, Broccoli, Cabbage) and are super high in potassium and magnesium. They can be cooked rapidly but may result in bitterness which is not a desirable flavor for Americans. So we cook them long and slow with other flavor components(ham hocks) to cook out the bitterness and make them tender. Hope that helps! Thank you for your videos!

[@engmed4400]

Commentary from a Central Texas boy. The greens used in collard greens come from a plant related to cabbage and broccoli. It isn't a salad, those greens are boiled and seasoned if prepared correctly. They are usually made with ham or bacon, which really broadens the flavor profile. Pulled pork is slow cooked, shredded pork shoulder, also known as Boston Butt. Brisket is part of the beef shoulder, and BBQ brisket is slow smoked for anywhere between 8 and 14 hours, depending on the person cooking it. When slow cooked in a smoker, they periodically spritz or baste the meat with something like apple juice to keep it from drying out. It's a long, drawn out, labor intensive process that is worth literally every second of the effort involved. The red in the brisket is what is known as a "smoke ring". It's a natural byproduct of the smoking process and is entirely harmless. The presence of the ring means that it was smoked properly. I was gratified to see that they didn't ruin that meat by drowning it in sauce. That's the central feature of Central Texas BBQ. We don't use sauce, we want to showcase the flavor of the meat and the sauce takes away from that. The meat is the star of the show.

[@miaz4766]

Love when people recognize him 😭❤️

[@michaelbeck7918]

That red "undercooked" part on the brisket is called the smoke ring. It's a sign of perfectly smoked meats. And it's a chemical reaction between the meat, the fire, and the smoke.

The purpose of the video was to have them try American BBQ to see if they like it or not. I’m sure he ordered more food for them after the video since they enjoyed it.

I wish you made more videos like this. Besides this one and the cereal one, I can't find any other videos of you getting Chinese people to try American food.

@Kiss Mikehunt wow that’s like a totally different meaning 🤣🤣

[@sweetlou6539]

No bbq sauce?🤦‍♂️ That's a sin where am from.😃

[@MetalMann-de3xi]

When your meat is seasoned with dry rub, and cooked correctly, you don't need sauce. Dry rub is like frosting on a cake. The flavor of the crust that forms from the dry rub replaces sauces, plus the meat is tender, juicy and natural smoked flavor melts in your mouth.

[@billbixby3666]

A good bbq sauce would make the meat taste different and most people prefer bbq with sauce option. Either way it's all delicious

You must be from Louisiana 🥴

5:05 it seemed kind of a weird gesture of handling food

[@southpaw788]

I know right. Surprised it didn't splash

[@cjlive5182]

Stop being so scary and threatening! 😆. U forgot BBQ sauces!

[@johnd5398]

sauces are such a waste of good bbq

[@AtomicSquirrelHunter]

@@johnd5398 Yep. If you have to cover it up with sauce then you must have burned it.

[@robc6469]
