@@andyzhang7890 sorry but if you look throughout the time since man kind.. SE Asians and their spices has been traded throughout the world. Before Ghangis Khon and before Nomads. That is why in America, you guys just season with salt and pepper and calls it the best BBQ ever. In Asia, its called burned meat. That is why, Asian cuisine is at the top in flavors and seasonings. India is the world leader in spice trade. White folks barely learning how to incorporate age old spices. Wait until you find out what Lemon grass can do

I ate at this restaurant around three months ago. No joke, the best barbecue I’ve ever eaten. The brisket MELTED in your mouth, I didn’t really chew at all. Super memorable. I haven’t gone since because it’s only open thursdays and saturdays and it’s very busy but I would totally recommend. As a vietnamese person though, the Asian inspired side dishes weren’t very good but the barbecue was great!

Yeah man! I’m trying to start my own bbq business. Right now we’re just doing pop ups. We have a small following, but one of the things that completely irks me is pre-orders. Once we setup and are ready to sell we have almost a dozen pre-orders. They don’t show up until about 20-30 minutes later when the food is getting cold. I appreciate the business, but I hate that they let the food sit there.

This is what I'm talking about! Innovating and mixing! As someone who loves barbeque, and tried just about all the Texas joint's everyone raves about including Franklins, I would like to see more different flavor profiles... I don't want every new pitmaster to just try the same "salt and pepper" and try to mimic someone like Franklin's... if that happened, we'd get the same BBQ flavor profile everywhere in the US and that's definitely not what you would want in the food industry... you gotta innovate and try new

Not really from his homeland though, it's mostly Chinese, none of the ingredients are common Vietnamese minus soy sauce, lemongrass, cilantro and fish sauce. Don't doubt the food is good but the there's nearly none to little influence to Vietnamese cuisine so I'm assuming he's possibly hoa (ethnic Chinese living in Vietnam).
