This video was made 11 years ago and Ms. Tomanetz is still working for the school district and still cooking. She’s an awesome woman with an unmatched work ethic. God bless you Tootsie!

[@twoblink]

She needs to become a speaker on work ethic to the young generation... What a great example for women.

[@razzledazzle4620]

Her work ethic is a great example for both men & women, reminds me of my mother

[@utuber2940]

To the young generation of Democrats!!!!

[@lisaeaker9064]

Amen

[@dedpoptart]

Young people now have no incentive. A slum apartment in Chattanooga is gonna run you to a 1000 a month in rent alone. Add utilities and food and you're near 1800-2000 for a single person. Now look at the average production worker/manufacture, pay is in average 16 to 18 an hour. After living expenses you're left with, and if lucky 1000 a month for luxuries like telephone, gasoline, car payment, insurance, clothing (usually even if for work). Tell me again how this generation is just lazy when it pays a percentage of its wages just to survive at a rate of 3 or 4 fold thier grandparents.

[@thelugoffgamecock792]

@@dedpoptart pfffff, I drive a truck (excellent wages) and I'm also in the Army Reserve. I pay my bills (mortgage on a 2700 sf house) and have plenty for "incidentals." Cry me a fucking river you shit for brains! Keep wearing your mask, quarantine your self, and cry VERY LOUD about how hard life is.....

What a wonderfully humble, hard working, sweet ❤️ lady. We need more Tootsie's in this world. You are one special gal, Tootsie. Be blessed!!

[@DanBarnett0727]

This lady has a work ethic that everyone needs

[@petesmitt]

Remove unemployment payments and watch the bludgers work ethic develop..

[@JM-bg2le]

My dads generation ...I miss people like this..simply wonderful

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

So humble and hard working. I wished I was more like her.

[@donell39]

Had the pleasure of trying the BBQ about a year ago when I went to a pee wee flag football game. The brisket was the best I have ever tasted, and the pork stakes were too. I have been eating and cooking BBQ a long time, they are truly as good a advertised. They use Oak wood which flavors the meat with an amazing smoke taste. Her secret to me is the temperature control of understanding her pits, and clearly understanding simple seasoning, combined with a lot of years of always improving.

[@Charlotte_TSilva]

I’m gonna load up my Chevy truck with my grandkids, take a road trip to Lexington and enjoy great BBQ. Thanks Tootsie.

[@aviator1228]

There is a special about her on Netflix. Well and episode about it. Really well done.

[@misterz2719]

Did you get to go.

[@AndoniZaldumbide]

To say "Grandma's still got it" would be an understatement of epic proportions. God be with you, Grandma Tootsie!

[@hamiltonwalters1642]

God Bless Texas

[@HotInTheCity]

Ms. Tootsie, you are amazing! Such a hard working lady who puts many of us today to shame. I hope I get to try Snow's BBQ someday. I'll set my alarm to wake up bright and early.

[@niknik5380]

Did you ever make it?

[@texican0322]

Snow's in Lexington is the best BBQ in Texas. Love it.

[@FedorMachida]

What an amazing woman! She is a great role model.

[@jcextranow]

That lady grew up with a hard work ethic and she still carries it with her to this day Im sure.

[@NoldorinPrince]

What an Amazing woman, and what a life she's lived and the stories she could tell

[@cameraman655]

God bless Texas and Texans...

[@sheryljones5207]

Now that's a real woman. And the B.B.Q. she gives extra love too.Amen.

[@HannahBurt19]

Used to live in Lexington and my mom would go to Snow's as soon as they opened!

[@jamesdooling4139]

When you got there early, you could get sausages.

[@RichTexas82513]

I live there! You can get brisket if you get there real early

[@tomcooper5188]

Wonderful piece ! What a Lady .

[@badtexasbill5261]

There's a top notch Texas lady.

[@Remedy0404]

Unbelievable BBQ, perhaps.....unbeatable. This woman is a workhorse, and you taste her blood sweat and tears in each bite of Brisket.

[@rossfregia6922]

The Backbone of USA Freedom to live and work.

[@GVGames1986]

My Dads mother was just like that. She always would be up early in her pinny doing the ironing and cooking my Granda his breakfast. Granda had got TB working on subs during WW2 and only had one lung. Hard work did get the better of her, but she stuck by a sick man that wasn't able to pull in a huge wage. My father had one Buffalo Bill book and other than that he and his pals would ride boneshakers and make bows and arrows, they were always out and about making their own fun. Different times back then!

[@angelguevara1418]

As a young guy, I literally share the way of thinking this lady does. I’m surrounded by fellow youth complaining about either being at work or doing work. Like she said. WORK DON’T HURT NOT ONE BIT.

[@cesarbolet2181]

That lady is very intelligent, and its due to work that she has preserved herself and her mind so well.

[@BrianGLee-bc7hj]

Lots of Respect for her.

[@greggh.748]

Wow, what a lady. I wish I could meet her. She awesome!

[@briangleason5597]

The secret, is Love and Genuine passion. This place has it.

great and tough lady..

[@idennisremmers3794]

God bless her!

[@jeffmb45]

You can tell Tootsie is a master pit master. Noticed at 4:20 she is adding spices to the pot, no measuring, she just knows.

[@mjrussell414]

Wow. Who here wants to go and have BBQ for breakfast? We’d have to get there at 5 am and line up. Bring a camp chair and a coffee.

[@deborahdepriest8092]

They actually used to give free drinks to the customers waiting for their BBQ.

[@stevelogan5475]

As hard she works , she doesn't need to be the head custodian , she need be the only custodian she's a working machine.

[@enriquecarvajal7384]

[@KB-dj1rs]

Badass lady I strive to de like her and I’m I guy she gets life enjoy y we here ✌️💨

[@jefferysmom696]

*I remember her...lol...She yelled at this Young guy (Who has a Big KZbin Channel) when he came down to work at the place and he accidentally slammed one of the doors on the smoker.*

[@Panglos]

We used to get BBQ at City Market in Giddings all the time when Tootsie was pitmaster there, and didn't think anything of it. Since she's gotten so much publicity at Snow's we've been tempted to go there many times, but to drive all that way early on a Saturday morning when we know what it's likely to be like...we just haven't been able to get up the motivation. Frankly, we've had 'cue that's so good there isn't much room for improvement. The hype over Snow's has got to have a lot to do with the country setting. Ambiance counts for a _lot._

[@manuelgarcia1635]

Awesome vid. The guy who visits from hung kong ..wow

[@chuckdavis572]

when I was there (came in from california) the guy in front of me in line was from england. Said it was his second trip!

You have to know who to cook B.B.Q..if you don’t have the heart or the love to B.B.Q..don’t try it. To cook B.B.Q you just know when the Q, is done.she is one of the best of the best.

[@michaelmullin3585]

Bar-be-cue that is non-acidic and with a thick sauce, is worth a big trip.

[@stevelogan5475]

I agree with her on work don't kill anybody , I worked/retired from the railroad , 7 days a week , 10-12 hours a day , but this new generation thinks just a 40 hour week is overtime , pitiful.

[@__BERSERKER__]

Dying breed.

[@stevelogan5475]

I bet tootsie didn't take a lick of pain meds when she had her babies , no nerve block , nothing , she is tough as nails and sweet as a woman can be , rare find in a good woman like tootsie, her husband found the cream of the crop in a woman like tootsie, God Bless her and her family/friends

Brava Tootsie!

[@jamesdooling4139]

I'm not sure if this is a thing, but I *can* tell you it's a thing in the lives of 5,000 San Antonio megachurch members' lives. People here make pilgrimages every weekend. They bring back hundreds of pounds of food. Birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, births, and deaths. Here in SA, it's known to some folks as, "Going to Tootsie Snow's."

[@stevelogan5475]

The feller that is the owner says he doesn't know why his bbq is different, most bbq places cook on indirect heat with post oak, snow's cooks over direct heat with embers, that is a faster cooking process , to fire up the pit at 1 a.m. & have bbq ready at 7 a.m. there is no way to do that on indirect heat, especially brisket

[@Luna.3.3.3]
