Day In The Life of The #1 BBQ In Texas

  • Hundreds of pounds of brisket, ribs, sausages, and turkey are smoked at this somewhat hidden spot in Kennedale, Texas. Long lines start piling up 5 hours before the place even opens. People come from all across the country just to try their food, especially their house-baked bread (which is unheard of in Texas). I had the honor of shooting with the team at Goldee's BBQ, and it was an unforgettable experience (:
    2 months of editing later, this might actually be my favorite video I've ever made.

    Over the course of 2 months of editing, I realized a lot of the video games, anime, movies, and soundtracks I listened to during that time started to influence my video style, especially in the music selection. Can’t remember the amount of times I fell asleep in my chair while searching for the right track, but it was a lot, haha.
    A few of inspirations: Your Lie in April, Xenoblade Chronicles, RL Grime, The Bear, Chef (Jon Favreau), Lofi Girl, and Ocean’s Eleven.
    Sometimes I’d finish editing for the night, start playing video games, then immediately rush back to editing because of a boss fight, a cutscene, or a musical theme that inspired me to change up a particular song for a scene.
    sounds kinda weird, but man I love video games and anime

      Your editing was professional. However, I was even more impressed with your journalism. Your interview with Alvin and the gang and the amount of time you spent interviewing and filming the crew for the entire week showing us the very details of their day be day operations. Normally journalists are in and out in a day or so. The quality of the production of this video shows how passionate you are about getting the story out in your specific style and with that said you probably have a long career in front of you in this field.

Hit up Franklin’s BBQ in Austin Tx where they have the best brisket on planet earth and go across the street to another BBQ joint that is also rated in the top 5 on a weekday as well and then hit up this place on the weekend. You’re gonna have to wake up super early and stand in line for hours because it gets busy and people wait outside for hours. Like I said when it comes to BBQ the south don’t play but Texas is just on another level

    I don't know what it was but this actually made me emotional thinking about back in the day working in a restaurant. Looking back at it you don't remember the early mornings, feeling exhausted or the anxiety involved with a busy service. You remember the good times joking around, prepping food, listening to music, playing video games, taking a smoke break and having real conversations. I don't know exactly what it is but you captured something awesome in this video and it made me feel something for sure.

      It’s fairly common at the “institutions” of TX bbq. People come from all over to work and learn the craft with the goal of going out on their own. Muellers, Franklins, Killens, P Lodge, Truth, Goldees, etc etc… many of them worked or learned from the others. I talked to a kid who was unloading wood at Terry Blacks. Originally from South Carolina, him and his brother moved to TX to learn, work for a few years, and go home and start a TX bbq joint in the middle of the Carolina’s..

I hope this lets people realize the kind of work and dedication that goes into owning and running not just a bbq place, but a restaurant in general. You live and breath it. If you think of getting into the restaurant biz to just make a buck, to start one and then sell it for a bundle, because it's an easy way to make money.... DON'T!!!! you will fail.

      Having worked in food service before, both cooking and with customers, yeah you get those smashed busy times where you cant 'think', you just hit auto pilot mode. Sadly some people have a nasty auto pilot, and likely should find another line of work that has a little less speed and stress.

      Well it's cooling off a little now due to Fall. The State Fair has come n' gone, Cooler weather needs some good hearty hot meat to warm up your insides. Texas Barbecue (written: bbq).
      Who's bbq is the best in Texas?
      Ok, that's like asking someone, "who's the best Momma in Texas?" Somebody's gonna fight.
      You always gonna go with what you know, trust, and frequent. In my experience if the bbq joint is a Black owned, and Black operated bbq, you really do need to stop and try it out. Serious! You'll kick yourself in ya' butt if you don't.
      Brisket is king in Texas, yes. Ribs (both beef and pork) are the close second, & depending on where you're at in Texas also determines bbq preferences. Chicken, & Turkey legs, links, & sausages, Hell, I saw a sign on a joint close to Houston advertising: Try our NEW "Bbq fish filets." (crickets chirping), with "fresh" bbq bologna. Oh sweet Lord, no wonder Houston folks got that certain "glow" all over 'em (I'm from Dallas, we look normal).
      South Texas bbq has a more Tex-Mex selection; barbacoa, lengua, cabrito, and some are starting to sell Borrego Asadito (lamb). South Texas bbq's also serve the onion, and jalapeno peppers, only now they are grilled, and have a delicious sweet flavor.
      Then, here comes all the fancy stuff: many accoutremonts, deserts (i.e. bananna pudding), sauces (true, Texas bbq don't need no freaking' sauce, ya' damned yankees), sides, and Texas style sweet tea.
      People ask, why do Texas bbq's always serve sour dill pickles, yellow onion slices, and jalapeno peppers along with the bbq? It's Traditional.
      Your tounge, and taste buds get so overwhelmed by the richness, and smoked flavors that you need a little acidic bite to freshen your palate.
      Hope all those that have not yet visited Texas, will consider stopping at a bbq joint if they find themselves in The Lone Star State. Stay away from chain restaurants. Here, even the bad bbq, is good & filling, and makes ya' burp really satisfying. See ya'll soon!

    After growing up on Anthony Bourdain, I have to say I'm very pleased that despite his passing, the ethos of food television, journalism, documentary.... whatever you want to call it, is headed in a similar direction to what he taught us it could. The people doing the cooking, the amount of attention, love, and force of will that chefs work with, every single day to make something that quickly disappears (literally) down inside of us; that is what it's all about. There's no greater way to appreciate food other than eating it yourself. Pretty great job for a debut film. Wholesome as hell.

This is by far one of the best documentaries I have ever seen!! The passion, the authentic emotions, the work ethic, the hustle and grind from these amazing young folks captured behind a lens. Beautiful work Alvin!! I can’t wait to go back to my hometown to enjoy Goldees BBQ!!! ❤

    I can't remember watching a more enjoyable story in my 69 years of living. The humility of a restaurant striving to please their cliental, the cooperation of a staff all working together to "dish-up" the best food ever to grace a human's palate this side of Heaven, just makes me want to hop in my car and drive to Kennedale! The shared camaraderie of the staff is amazing. It is like they all have the same goal in mind - to serve the best food in Texas. The music, the story-line, the video sections pieced together made me feel like I was a part of this family. To me, that is a way of life in Texas; we are family. We have our differences, squabbles, own opinions, but when it comes to Bar-B-Q or Bar-Be-Que or Barbeque, we all agree, TEXAS has the best. Great presentation! Heartwarming story! Undoubtedly some of the best food ever! Hope to make it there soon. I'll be in the white SRX camped out Thursday night at the front door.

    As a Londoner born and bred I can confidently say that good BBQ is not very available. I stumbled across this video and watched it with my wife.
    You are obviously brilliant at what you do and your success is due to the incredibly hard work that you put into everything you do.
    My father told me when I was a young man that there are two things you need to love in life , your partner and your work.
    We found it emotional when you said that you had all been friends since you were very young.
    You have created not only a look into your success in business, but you have given inspiring to anybody who watches, whatever their choice of career.
    I would love to come to Texas to shake your hands and taste your food.
    God bless you all, and may you continue to succeed.
    Kind regards,
    Les and Anne xxx

I saw much of London and even made a trip to Wales. What I’ve learned in my world travels is that the average person is kind to strangers no matter where you are in the world. The places that I felt most welcome was in the local pubs. Lots of questions about America and since I have a distinct southern accent, lots of questions about if we have indoor plumbing 🤣

    They do a great job! But no one could have caught the whole vibe of peacefulness, the quiet, the slow, down-time of prep, and the whole process, start to finish, not getting into too much of the exact recipes, etc., but more of what Goldee's BBQ is, like you did. This was a great show that was fun, and relaxing to watch! You did a wonderful job!

      There is more to running a restaurant than cooking. People do not realize that. Supplies, employees, business aspects, etc. Best restaurants are a good restauranteur plus a good cook. Often good cooks fail when they open their own restaurant. E abuse they are too busy cooking and neglect (and do not know enough about) the rest. But not always.

      She’s a cutie but the boasting I did not enjoy.. That was a team effort through and through. They created an atmosphere that created success. Being trained and recognized and given a very important position is truly something. Starting from the ground up. Demanding part ownership after that? That just left a bad taste in my mouth. Sweat equity… I get it. Taking an opportunity from people to help better yourself and becoming a key aspect of the team and in exchange giving an ultimatum? So long as she was getting paid her worth I’d have another person being trained on briskets the very next day. I’m sorry maybe that’s just me.
