Gotta say... the way eater shows off restaurants without the use of some host clogging up the experience constantly is why I watch these videos all the way through. Letting the business express themselves is awesome.

Am I the only person who ever gets amazed, and a little intimidated, by how passionate these chefs are about their food? Like, these guys are probably earning 1/5th of what they ought to be, having to prepare everything in an offsite kitchen, making everything from the best ingredients from scratch, making their own rubs and curing the meat as well as adding creative alternatives, and then get someone who is a master at managing a live fire smoker/cooker/grill, precook/etc all the food then get in a frickin small truck and be able to provide the food In the middle of f#%k-knows-where to people who come up and say 'Um, like, what's good here?'... And still be insanely polite and remain positive about the business... These guys are amazing. Truly.

I’ve been to this food truck and I will say I’ve had the brisket burger and to this day is THE best burger I’ve ever had.

[somuchanger]

He had me at bacon rib, he had me at beef cheek in confit, he had me at burnt-end cauliflower, he had me at citra hops sausage, and he had me at caveman tenderloin. But he spoke to me personally when he said, "No beans in the chilli". What a legend!

[nkyryry]

It’s pretty difficult to be creative in BBQ... but this guy is pretty damn creative. The burgers looked amazing. The bacon ribs. The beef cheeks. This looks like the best menu in all of BBQ. And their incredibly high standards for ingredients make it all even better.

Fun Fact: Bradley runs his own YouTube channel called Chuds BBQ. Definitely worth watching!

[zionkim]

When he said “ 🎶meatball mountainI🎶 “ I felt that.😦

[kendrick]

At 3:00 when he said “this is Bradley” I thought he named the brisket 💀

[laneofmagic]

It's amazing how passionate and dedicated he is to making something that has been around for centuries in an unique yet not going so modern that the nostalgic factor is gone.

Love the "I will die on that hill" line when talking about NO beans in his chili. Outstanding!

[jiahui]

a part of me dies every time knowing im not living next to one of these BBQ place

[whatisrealknowtheformula]

Got to admire people who are so very knowledgable about what they are passionate about.

[patrickhaggerty]

This man's passion about no beans in the chili is the best. When I make it to Austin I will find him, thank him, and buy his bbq.

[ttuwelker]

Thought this guy was insane. Then he went off on beans in chili. He earned my respect today

[jordangroff]

Respect to these guys for doing something different from everyone else, that's not easy.

[ChefOrelleYoung]

I’m proud to have worked with this dude. Evan is worth his weight in gold.

[Sandurz]

This place is so good! I go here as often as I can. The beef cheeks, oh baby...what a treat. Need to try the cauliflower still. We had them cater our wedding and literally everyone we talked to about it said it was the best barbecue they’d ever had.

[marcoveronese]

I'm writing from Italy and I can tell you, you are the first place I visit when I will come to USA again! Phenomenal!!!

Beginning of the video: Guy preparing cauliflowers for BBQ, me: "Oh hey, this is gonna be an interesting video about healthy food."

8 minutes later: Guy cooking tons of pure beef fat in pot, me: "Oh Boy!"
