This video was made 11 years ago and Ms. Tomanetz is still working for the school district and still cooking. She’s an awesome woman with an unmatched work ethic. God bless you Tootsie!
Young people now have no incentive. A slum apartment in Chattanooga is gonna run you to a 1000 a month in rent alone. Add utilities and food and you're near 1800-2000 for a single person. Now look at the average production worker/manufacture, pay is in average 16 to 18 an hour. After living expenses you're left with, and if lucky 1000 a month for luxuries like telephone, gasoline, car payment, insurance, clothing (usually even if for work). Tell me again how this generation is just lazy when it pays a percentage of its wages just to survive at a rate of 3 or 4 fold thier grandparents.
@@dedpoptart pfffff, I drive a truck (excellent wages) and I'm also in the Army Reserve. I pay my bills (mortgage on a 2700 sf house) and have plenty for "incidentals." Cry me a fucking river you shit for brains! Keep wearing your mask, quarantine your self, and cry VERY LOUD about how hard life is.....
Had the pleasure of trying the BBQ about a year ago when I went to a pee wee flag football game. The brisket was the best I have ever tasted, and the pork stakes were too. I have been eating and cooking BBQ a long time, they are truly as good a advertised. They use Oak wood which flavors the meat with an amazing smoke taste. Her secret to me is the temperature control of understanding her pits, and clearly understanding simple seasoning, combined with a lot of years of always improving.
Ms. Tootsie, you are amazing! Such a hard working lady who puts many of us today to shame. I hope I get to try Snow's BBQ someday. I'll set my alarm to wake up bright and early.
My Dads mother was just like that. She always would be up early in her pinny doing the ironing and cooking my Granda his breakfast. Granda had got TB working on subs during WW2 and only had one lung. Hard work did get the better of her, but she stuck by a sick man that wasn't able to pull in a huge wage. My father had one Buffalo Bill book and other than that he and his pals would ride boneshakers and make bows and arrows, they were always out and about making their own fun. Different times back then!
As a young guy, I literally share the way of thinking this lady does. I’m surrounded by fellow youth complaining about either being at work or doing work. Like she said. WORK DON’T HURT NOT ONE BIT.
We used to get BBQ at City Market in Giddings all the time when Tootsie was pitmaster there, and didn't think anything of it. Since she's gotten so much publicity at Snow's we've been tempted to go there many times, but to drive all that way early on a Saturday morning when we know what it's likely to be like...we just haven't been able to get up the motivation. Frankly, we've had 'cue that's so good there isn't much room for improvement. The hype over Snow's has got to have a lot to do with the country setting. Ambiance counts for a _lot._
Why are they only open on Saturday ? Is it because Tootse works a regular job at the school Monday thru Friday & she is the pit master ? She never mentiioned what her 3rd job was unless it was working the farm. Anybody know what is her 3rd job ?
I like that quote tootsies said "work never killed anybody ". I wish all the lazy people on welfare and food stamps could hear it. GOD bless Texas hard working women and men.
I worked 2 full time jobs while going to college full time ,I got 2 hours of sleep every night , had to sleep on the carpet cause it had a stereo in the dining room with a loud alarm , a regular alarm clock would not wake me up, did that for a year , so I know what tootsie is going through
You have to know who to cook B.B.Q..if you don’t have the heart or the love to B.B.Q..don’t try it. To cook B.B.Q you just know when the Q, is done.she is one of the best of the best.
I'm not sure if this is a thing, but I *can* tell you it's a thing in the lives of 5,000 San Antonio megachurch members' lives. People here make pilgrimages every weekend. They bring back hundreds of pounds of food. Birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, births, and deaths. Here in SA, it's known to some folks as, "Going to Tootsie Snow's."
*I remember her...lol...She yelled at this Young guy (Who has a Big TH-cam Channel) when he came down to work at the place and he accidentally slammed one of the doors on the smoker.*
The feller that is the owner says he doesn't know why his bbq is different, most bbq places cook on indirect heat with post oak, snow's cooks over direct heat with embers, that is a faster cooking process , to fire up the pit at 1 a.m. & have bbq ready at 7 a.m. there is no way to do that on indirect heat, especially brisket
I agree with her on work don't kill anybody , I worked/retired from the railroad , 7 days a week , 10-12 hours a day , but this new generation thinks just a 40 hour week is overtime , pitiful.
I bet tootsie didn't take a lick of pain meds when she had her babies , no nerve block , nothing , she is tough as nails and sweet as a woman can be , rare find in a good woman like tootsie, her husband found the cream of the crop in a woman like tootsie, God Bless her and her family/friends
1000 pounds of meat is not much for a bbq joint only open 1 day a week & voted best bbq in the state , I am surprised they are not sold out long before 10 am if the bbq is that good
This video was made 11 years ago and Ms. Tomanetz is still working for the school district and still cooking. She’s an awesome woman with an unmatched work ethic. God bless you Tootsie!
She needs to become a speaker on work ethic to the young generation... What a great example for women.
Her work ethic is a great example for both men & women, reminds me of my mother
To the young generation of Democrats!!!!
Amen

"Work don't kill anybody". Respect Mrs Tootsie.
It killed ole John Henry!
She should go to Japan.....
This lady has a work ethic that everyone needs
Remove unemployment payments and watch the bludgers work ethic develop..
I’m gonna load up my Chevy truck with my grandkids, take a road trip to Lexington and enjoy great BBQ. Thanks Tootsie.
There is a special about her on Netflix. Well and episode about it. Really well done.
Did you get to go.
What a wonderfully humble, hard working, sweet ❤️ lady. We need more Tootsie's in this world. You are one special gal, Tootsie. Be blessed!!
My dads generation ...I miss people like this..simply wonderful
To say "Grandma's still got it" would be an understatement of epic proportions. God be with you, Grandma Tootsie!
So humble and hard working. I wished I was more like her.

Did you ever make it?
Now that's a real woman. And the B.B.Q. she gives extra love too.Amen.
What an amazing woman! She is a great role model.
God bless Texas and Texans...
God Bless Texas
That lady grew up with a hard work ethic and she still carries it with her to this day Im sure.
Snow's in Lexington is the best BBQ in Texas. Love it.
We're getting better... this video is 360P instead of 240P
BAHAHAHAHA
Thank you so much for another GREAT Video...
Used to live in Lexington and my mom would go to Snow's as soon as they opened!
When you got there early, you could get sausages.
I live there! You can get brisket if you get there real early
SuperGoldnut New Jersey and good BBQ is an oxymoron.
Unbelievable BBQ, perhaps.....unbeatable. This woman is a workhorse, and you taste her blood sweat and tears in each bite of Brisket.
There's a top notch Texas lady.
What an Amazing woman, and what a life she's lived and the stories she could tell
Wonderful piece ! What a Lady .
Wow what an amazing lady! I wish I could work with her!! I would love to learn from her anything!!
She is what being a Texan is all about!!!
COOLEST STORY ON TH-cam!!! Thanks and kudos!
Name's Sonny, This Woman is Golden.God Bless her HEART.
Keep on rocken. The world needs more people like you.
Tootsie, is amazing! It's not a gift, she has amazing experience, now I want some Barbecue!
What a treasure she is!
What a kind hearted woman 🙂
I guarantee you that Tootsie ain't takin' any shit off them damn kids at that school.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Hahahahahahahaha!
Bet she has one of them footlong silver revolvers :))
That lady is very intelligent, and its due to work that she has preserved herself and her mind so well.
She is my hero!!
Wow. Who here wants to go and have BBQ for breakfast? We’d have to get there at 5 am and line up. Bring a camp chair and a coffee.
They actually used to give free drinks to the customers waiting for their BBQ.
I’m barely seeing this amazing peice of work… I wonder if she’s still around?? 💙🔥
The Backbone of USA Freedom to live and work.
humility is a powerful asset.
My Dads mother was just like that. She always would be up early in her pinny doing the ironing and cooking my Granda his breakfast. Granda had got TB working on subs during WW2 and only had one lung.

Wow, what a lady. I wish I could meet her. She awesome!
Inspiring to my soul.
As a young guy, I literally share the way of thinking this lady does. I’m surrounded by fellow youth complaining about either being at work or doing work. Like she said. WORK DON’T HURT NOT ONE BIT.
I down the list of places of best BBQ in Texas this place is definitely on the top of that list. Worth the Drive and wait.
This lady is a hero. Salt of he Earth
Lots of Respect for her.
I'd sure like to show up there this next Saturday morning.
bluegrassfan23 .....I Help Pay For Gas ! Lol

The secret, is Love and Genuine passion. This place has it.
You can tell Tootsie is a master pit master. Noticed at 4:20 she is adding spices to the pot, no measuring, she just knows.

I can't wait to try Snow's!

Why are they only open on Saturday ? Is it because Tootse works a regular job at the school Monday thru Friday & she is the pit master ? She never mentiioned what her 3rd job was unless it was working the farm. Anybody know what is her 3rd job ?
Awesome Lady!
I just saw her in a Netflix BBQ series! Cool. This video is 10 years old and she's still going?!!

@@Luna.3.3.3 Thanks

I like that quote tootsies said "work never killed anybody ". I wish all the lazy people on welfare and food stamps could hear it. GOD bless Texas hard working women and men.
So you're saying all that are on Governor Assistant Programs doesn't work?
It might surprise you to know, but this strong Texas woman benefits dramatically from Medicare... Even our heroes need help.

Now that is being humble.
Tootsie, you seem like a super sweetie. I'm also sure you've got the kids under control if they hope to be stupid.
I'm not sure if this is a thing, but I *can* tell you it's a thing in the lives of 5,000 San Antonio megachurch members' lives.

They need to make more everyday
*I remember her...lol...She yelled at this Young guy (Who has a Big TH-cam Channel) when he came down to work at the place and he accidentally slammed one of the doors on the smoker.*
Tootise you are amazing
4:00, the escence comes up. " Work' no killing anyone' that's why,, when you on top of things.
Really I like it very very much
Netflix brought me here🔥
Would it be too hard to take some grease cutter to that scuzzy residential fridge in their kitchen?
wow I got to go check it out!
Badass lady I strive to de like her and I’m I guy she gets life enjoy y we here ✌️💨
Tootsie's spice containers look like mime , brand is Tone's, good spices & prices
The secret is in the wood used and early Saturday auction on the fresh meat.
The feller that is the owner says he doesn't know why his bbq is different, most bbq places cook on indirect heat with post oak, snow's cooks over direct heat with embers, that is a faster cooking process , to fire up the pit at 1 a.m. & have bbq ready at 7 a.m. there is no way to do that on indirect heat, especially brisket
I agree with her on work don't kill anybody , I worked/retired from the railroad , 7 days a week , 10-12 hours a day , but this new generation thinks just a 40 hour week is overtime , pitiful.
Bar-be-cue that is non-acidic and with a thick sauce, is worth a big trip.
I bet tootsie didn't take a lick of pain meds when she had her babies , no nerve block , nothing , she is tough as nails and sweet as a woman can be , rare find in a good woman like tootsie, her husband found the cream of the crop in a woman like tootsie, God Bless her and her family/friends
Maybe I could move there and cook for them so they can be open 2 days. I could live in a camper out back
I have never heard a Texan call it chicken fried steak, only cfs , you are the first one there I have heard to call it that cowboy
Gotta have some
As hard she works , she doesn't need to be the head custodian , she need be the only custodian she's a working machine.
I want to try Snow's BBQ and meet Miss Tootsie!
#1. Sandy's Real Chicken Fried Steak and Burgers (North Richland HIlls, TX)
#2. My dad's house.
respect
1000 pounds of meat is not much for a bbq joint only open 1 day a week & voted best bbq in the state , I am surprised they are not sold out long before 10 am if the bbq is that good
Hongkang 😜 bucket list
do they cook their meat over the coals, I've heard they use this method.
Brava Tootsie!
Dying breed.
Amen
Sadly mrs. Toots passed away peacefully on April 13, 2019. RIP
She just turned 86 a few days ago, and is still working.....
She’s still featured on their website too, so I’m sure she is alive and well and thinking about tomorrow’s BBQ right now.
Now why weren't they featured on the BEST Barbecue list in Texas honey? Is it because they sell out so quickly.
