Make sure you LIKE and SHARE the video so it can spread to more people :) Had the best food of my life at ZEF! The congee and ramen absolutely blew me away and they have the Texas bbq down pat too. A must try place if you’re in SoCal. Logan and his family/team are amazing, loved my time there and can’t wait to go back!

Ant, love these videos man, you do such a great job of capturing these places and the folks that make them work. I was wondering, if there’s a place that would be willing, could you maybe dive into the business side of things with them a bit more? It seems impossible to me that they make a profit given the cost of goods, labour, etc. Would love some insight into that side of things. Keep up the great work! 👍

Man, that photo of Logan and the Meadow Creek Reverse Flow! Fun story, that's a rental from BBQ HQ. Logan used that sucker for a long time before buying his smoker. Jeremy from Mad Scientist BBQ used to cook with that exact rental from BBQ HQ. He even has a few instructional videos using that exact smoker. We've talked to BBQ HQ about renting the Meadow Creek to help with a cook for an event, but the cook fell through.

This guy was absolutely ROBBED in that Netflix BBQ Showdown. Those judges are 100% traditionalists which, mind you, isn't necessarily bad. My beef with that show is that BBQ is a cooking methodology and this guy was SO creative with what he made! The other guy was absolutely talented, no doubt, but he stuck to tried and true recipes for American BBQ that I could find in any major city.
