The word "legend" is not in my everyday vocabulary, nevertheless Roy Perez is one of the last old school BBQ legends on earth.
For 30-plus years he has been the pit-master, or fire maker at Kreuz (pronounced Krites) Market. As a matter of fact (before this video was released), if you Google pit-master, his image is the first to pop up. I just love the guy and he inspired me to dive deeper into Texas BBQ.
Kreuz is one of my favorite stops. The dim lit room, the hollow noises ringing out of an old, block pit house is equivalent to my Picasso. I sat down with the legend as he granted me a rare interview.
Many in the BBQ community would love to see Roy Perez inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame in 2019. He is truly a special character and I hope you enjoy this short interview.
Here is where to nominate Roy for the BBQ Hall of fame: www.barbecuehal...

I’ll bet every restaurant would love to have about 30 employees like Mr. Perez. Hard working, humble as the breeze. Just puts his head down and does his job. What a great man. I’ve seen him interviewed by other people and he’s always the same. I wish we had more people like this.

Many of My Family members have worked for Kruez under Roy . He’s both a Passionate and Compassionate Man . A Local Legend and Hero to most of Us.

I live in Lockhart and am spoiled by the close proximity of so much excellent BBQ. Roy is also a super nice guy!

I’m 36 and I remember seeing him at the other place for years. My father would always take the family there and he admired Roy. Seeing this interview brings back so many memories of him taking the family there for celebrations. I visit there at times when I miss my father . Roy is definitely a Legend. Thank you for this interview.

When he said it takes him 4 to 5 hours to cook a brisket I couldn't believe it. I'm gonna run my cooker at 450 to 500 and see if I can get one done properly in about 6 to 8 hours.
