Ant, youre INSANE. this production and effort you've put in to make this vid shine clearly shows. glad to see you back and firing on all cylinders. you're gonna BLOW UP
We missed you Ant! That spread of food at the end! For a take out place that was fine dining on the patio! I need to take a trip back to Cali for a food crawl of all these amazing places you’ve showcased for us! Thank you for shining a light on all these amazing restaurants!
I own a wing pop up spot here in SFV in LA and I love that you shed light on his spot, from seeing him go to the same store I go to and just the overall grind is great to see. The process from start to finish was amazing.
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!!! I’m not sure how you are doing it but you just keep getting better and better. You are a true craftsman with the bbq stories. Well done brother. 🤘
Holy shit! I watched this guy on the Netflix BBQ Showdown. He is awesome and the dude that got 1st place. Both were top notch in my eyes, so cool you could go to his Joint!
the excitement and inspiration I get as I watch these is unreal. and even more on this one as we are about to do our First "ghost kitchen" next month. Thank you for another great video.
Whoa!! When he showed the dishes at the end, they’re going to need a bigger place and I mean soon! I have no doubt they’re gonna do well, good chemistry, good, creativity, and phenomenal food from the looks of it. Bravo 👏
Your show just popped up in my feed. I watched it because I recognized the chef from the Netflix bbq showdown. Then I heard he’s in Simi. My old stomping grounds. Awesome!
Ant - Great video as always! I live in LA and I'll be hitting this place next week!!! Still can't figure out why you don't have 1 million subs yet. Your production is top notch. Keep it up!
I think it’s so cool you are filling that void of consistent behind the scene bbq content and you do such a great job in editing. I would love if you also did, food truck, small restaurants maybe? Or to be honest any local places that more people should focus on in general. Appreciate your work
Let's go logan.!!! My kids seen you on Netflix and we actually cheered for you when you did the whole hog.!!😂😂 done to see this guy on here.!!! Let's go.!!!
ANT just wanna give you a big thank you not sure if you get this enough but i really enjoy your vids. like i love waking up and going to YT to see what you posted and i love it.
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.
In fine dining the team starts early getting the stock pots on the stove. In barbecue it's the same. Start early, making layers of flavor. Seak the peak!
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! 👍
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.
Impressive! Love seeing all the variations of dishes utilizing BBQ. With the price of meat skyrocketing week over week, it’s likely the traditional platters will be fewer and fewer. ZEF seems like he’s hitting the future of BBQ.
Ant, Excellent video! Gourmet bbq! It is always interesting to see a professionally trained chef compared to a typical bbq pitmaster. Do you think bbq places should stick to the basics? Come on Ant! I thought you were going to enter the Octagon to fight him! That must be in the next video!😂 BBQ fight videos - the next big thing!😂
Ive seen places like this. Is this a basic start-up vibe? with the hours and days. Or is it a market to open particular days at particular hours outisde the norm?
ordering that far ahead just isn't our thing.. but we have talked about ordering it for over a year now LOL is there is like a list where we can sign up to get texted someone didn't pick up their order?
Curious how he keeps the tri tips after smoking them, said he roasts them day of service, so it's like a reverse sear with a day in between lol Heritage bbq said in your video there that they cold smoked their tri tips, then throw them over fire before service. I am happy with how my tri tip turns out, but if I make much more than say 20 or so it gets difficult to manage.
Excellent job. I thought this was a major medka channel like vox or something. I didn’t look at the channel name or tittle. The thubnail got me. Just found you channel. Amazing content.
Hey Ant! This is a fucking amazing series! Running a BBQ joint in Malaysia is hard as hell sometimes but your content really helps me brainstorm new ideas moving forward! Thank you ❤❤❤
Logan is awesome. I was watching a random BBQ show where Logan was competing and he was making people with tons of BBQ experience look bad. Just completely unfair. He is at the forefront of combing classically trained chefs and BBQ. Glad he’s getting some much deserved publicity from this channel.
Love this video man. I live a similar life to this at the moment. Running a meal prep business heavily influenced by bbq. My mom and I are the two man team that make it happen every Sunday. Very inspiring thank you for this video
OMFG, that Dragon Ball Z bamboo thing, I had the EXACT same thing growing up except it was a different scene and you totally just brought me back down to memory lane with that shit.

You learn to absolutely love this guy on that Netflix show. He's comes off as a really great guy. I wish the best for him.

You def got me interested. Im in Weho so close enough to make the trip. Why did you blur out the name of the place?
Love this series! You always do such a good job of communicating their stories and makes us feel like we genuinely know them.
Creative ways to use American bbq with dishes from around the world! Great stuff!
Ant!!! I’m not sure how you are doing it but you just keep getting better and better. You are a true craftsman with the bbq stories. Well done brother. 🤘
Holy shit! I watched this guy on the Netflix BBQ Showdown. He is awesome and the dude that got 1st place. Both were top notch in my eyes, so cool you could go to his Joint!
Very cool guy, miss him already 🥲
I knew I recognized him from somewhere!
Same here! This is cool haha
One minute into the video he literally says he got 2nd on the bbq showdown....
@@midwesternsmoke1883 Yeah! It's where I recognized him from!
WOW. You did an amazing job with the story telling and cinematography! Food looks amazing!
That spread that was layed out at the end - mindblowing.
the excitement and inspiration I get as I watch these is unreal. and even more on this one as we are about to do our First "ghost kitchen" next month. Thank you for another great video.
I remember Logan from The Barbeque Showdown on Netflix...such a wholesome personality and a very innovative chef.
I already Stan him from the BBQ showdown, and to notice he's wearing a Bluey shirt, makes me like him even more💜
I'd love to try his stuff, Jason seems very passionate and humble. Wishing all the best to his family and his team. Great video!
As a South African, I recognized the word "Zef" but didn't click until it was mentioned! Nice one!
Food is just as good as it looks. So happy for Logan's success and congrats on the new baby!
Whoa!!
When he showed the dishes at the end, they’re going to need a bigger place and I mean soon!
I have no doubt they’re gonna do well, good chemistry, good, creativity, and phenomenal food from the looks of it. Bravo 👏
I'm so happy for their success. Food looks great
Mad props on making yours come through
My two fav cuisines clashing is a dream! I must have this in my face my body and my life!
Your show just popped up in my feed. I watched it because I recognized the chef from the Netflix bbq showdown. Then I heard he’s in Simi. My old stomping grounds. Awesome!
Bro…..this ish was exceptionally done. Ant seriously once again great job.
DAAAAAAAMN that is an epic spread at the end. My mouth was watering! Was a huge fan of his on BBQ Showdown, glad to see him making more amazing food.
great content and an even better story truly inspiring looking forward to my next LA trip to try this place out !
Ant - Great video as always! I live in LA and I'll be hitting this place next week!!! Still can't figure out why you don't have 1 million subs yet. Your production is top notch. Keep it up!
He really put the Michelin-star finesse into all his dishes!!!
Looks spectacularly delicious!!!
This was such an amazing video, I've seen Logan on the bbq show and I'm so glad I found your channel, I love bbq and have subscribed to you now
I like the way he integrated Hawaiian food into his style and background...the way he pronounced "musubi" and makes his own spam says a lot...
I think it’s so cool you are filling that void of consistent behind the scene bbq content and you do such a great job in editing. I would love if you also did, food truck, small restaurants maybe? Or to be honest any local places that more people should focus on in general. Appreciate your work
great video.. impressive production quality for a smaller channel.
also helps that the subject of the video is such a cool, chill guy!
Let's go logan.!!! My kids seen you on Netflix and we actually cheered for you when you did the whole hog.!!😂😂 done to see this guy on here.!!! Let's go.!!!
What an epic story. Knocked it outta the park again dude. Really appreciate the effort that goes into crafting such a freakin engaging story.
ANT just wanna give you a big thank you not sure if you get this enough but i really enjoy your vids. like i love waking up and going to YT to see what you posted and i love it.
DUDE! The editing on this is next next level! Keep leveling up! This one is your new benchmark for quality!
He does great bbq. Brisket and nanner pudding are ridiculous. So delicious
you killed it Ant! happy to hear you are taking your well being serious! super inspiring.
Logan, his staff, and his food are awesome. I'm a fan!
Hell yeah bro been waiting for you to drop a new video. You got the BBQ vlogs on lock in my opinion 🤷🏿♂️ top notch keep em coming brotha!!
What a team! this was an amazing watch and the food looks unreal x
I remember them restaurant depot days Salute to this man
One of my favourite youtube series thank you ant
awesome video... can't wait for part 2.. I would love to try their infused menu... thanks Ant for another great video... you rock!
Such great cinematic feel to your videos. Love them
This channel is top notch. The slyle if interviewing is perfect.
Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
Knocked another one out of the park. Seems like your video production and narrative pacing is even improving. Congrats man

Next level videos good job Ant! What a dream team these guys are.
Inspirational, love watching this!
Logan is the man! glad to see he's getting his recognition.
yo ben, didn't know you had a YT channel. just subscribed!
@@AntsBBQCookout Yes sir! still new and learning, but I'm here!
Hey, I’m a creator and producer working on my first food series and I’d love to pick your brain about creating this series!! Love your work.
In fine dining the team starts early getting the stock pots on the stove. In barbecue it's the same. Start early, making layers of flavor. Seak the peak!
How do you keep the food at a proper temp in the truck during LA traffic? Do you use coolers?
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! 👍
that spread at the end is nuts.

That looks amazing. We would love to have you cook on our BBQ grill!
The food looks insane! Really cool story at ZEF!
That Four Monks Apple Cider Vin is the shit, I use it at my spot too and won't touch anything else!
So awesome! And his food is amazing
19:09 didn't expect Digimon world file city theme in here, PS1 Nostalgia.
Logan is a good dude! I got to cook with him when he came to Memphis for the World Jr BBQ League cookoff at Melissa Cookston's store.
Ant,

Zefside represent. Well done Team!
Why is the restaurant’s sign blurred out?
Seem to me like it's a pop up. Not always at one place.
Yeah what idk music said, they’re a pop up. That is just the kitchen space they rent.
It’s nipples were showing
Hidden by the man bun
Zef bbq
homie killed BBQ showdown, id eat his food anyday
This place looks great, wish we had it over here.
That food looks incredible.
This was a unique documentary! Nicely done.
Put your future in good hands your own.
Yo I love the use of Digimon world ost
The digimon adventure music was a nice surprise
This looks good, might pull up soon
Fantastic video
Repping Southern Oregon with that Kaliedoscope shirt! 💪

Must be great working with your mom. God be with both of you.
Great documentary!
Smoky the Bear secretly started the fires.
Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.
I need that Bluey shirt
More Texas bbq content!!
OMFG, that Dragon Ball Z bamboo thing, I had the EXACT same thing growing up except it was a different scene and you totally just brought me back down to memory lane with that shit.
