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
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!
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.
Man those char siu colored burnt ends look absolutely divine, holy hell. This guys is an inspiration. As a cook for most of my working life, I have recently been dreaming and planning to open an operation very similar to what he's doing here. Was so cool to watch someone do basically exactly what I've been planning. Thanks for the amazing content, Bro! Hope you get as much excitement making it as I do watching it
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!
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!
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.
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. 🤘
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.
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 👏
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.!!!
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
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!
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.
This guy (Sandoval) was terrible in college!!! Gross jokes, sexist and racist. The time that particularly stands out was when he came into kitchen and non stop talked about one of our classmates who he had intimate relations with who was absent that day. He was totally demeaning and it was in really poor taste. The next day she was in, someone told her, basically the whole kitchen AND teachers knew. She was so shut down, dropped out after that, fully failed the final (she was so embarassed and shaking after knowing we all knew such embarrassing stuff about her, I don't think she could function.) It was a total chaotic end to a class, this guy didn't feel bad at all for it. Watching someone, even with little talent, lose their spark and zest for life because he couldn't keep his mouth shut in a professional place was appalling. Total bad taste.
Poor Chubba. HAHA. I hope he figures out whats going on that makes him late all the time. I know for me it was procrastination, alcohol, and arrogance in knowing how great I am at what I do. But ultimately you cant live that way forever. Even in success with that, order is still more necessary for your own personal sanity imo.
You know as beautiful as this is, I really wish you would’ve focused more on the sourcing aspect of your ingredients and meats, as certified humane meats really do taste better, and you’re also caring for the animals well being.
which michelin starred restaurant was he a chef at? I mean the chef, not a sous, or chef de partie, but the head chef? And michelin isn't all that. They came to san francisco and when they released their reviews a couple of the places had closed.
The wood has no affect to the taste it’s all about the advertising along with the sides… Smoke taste is assured and acquired by seasoning that it’s added on…
I want to enjoy watching this video, but I can’t make it through it because he keeps using the filler word like. How many times could you say like in one sentence?
That's a lot of work for $1600 of revenue -hopefully not considering their entire revenue for the week. I applaud them for being self-sufficient. It seems to me they can greatly expand the operation to bring in better revenue a multitude of ways. Kudos!
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.
Weird how i often see americaan chefs going to the supermarket to get their food ahah In europe, those restaurants are seen as bad restaurants. Good restaurants have specific vegetable/meat/dairy supplier coming every day/week to supply. You get better price, better product
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!
Where is this MFers michelin star. When he started bringing those plates out, my jaw dropped and i was drooling everywhere. Every plate looked amazing.
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.
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.
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 ❤❤❤
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!😂
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.
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! 👍
I respect the hard work and wish this man all the success in the world. Sorry but to me fine dining and BBQ sounds about like a peanut butter and spaghetti taco, all good foods that should never combine. Just my opinion, all the best
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.
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?
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!
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?
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
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!
Put your future in good hands your own.
Next level videos good job Ant! What a dream team these guys are.
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.

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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 👏
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
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.!!!
As a South African, I recognized the word "Zef" but didn't click until it was mentioned! Nice one!
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
I'm so happy for their success. Food looks great
Looks spectacularly delicious!!!
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!
8:13 I thought that was Jeffrey Epstein
Love this series! You always do such a good job of communicating their stories and makes us feel like we genuinely know them.
open for only 2 days and has 3 kids where is the money coming from to support that lifestyle?
He positions himself to pick and choose his battles, investments in a diversified portfolio to work only two days

I already Stan him from the BBQ showdown, and to notice he's wearing a Bluey shirt, makes me like him even more💜
Bro…..this ish was exceptionally done. Ant seriously once again great job.
What an epic story. Knocked it outta the park again dude. Really appreciate the effort that goes into crafting such a freakin engaging story.
He really put the Michelin-star finesse into all his dishes!!!
Lao Gan Ma Fried Chili Oil 💪
I remember Logan from The Barbeque Showdown on Netflix...such a wholesome personality and a very innovative chef.
Smoky the Bear secretly started the fires.
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.
Simi Valley........ dude i really hope it works out. everything dies in Simi. PLEASE prove me wrong. Gotta check this out.

great video.. impressive production quality for a smaller channel.
also helps that the subject of the video is such a cool, chill guy!
You know as beautiful as this is, I really wish you would’ve focused more on the sourcing aspect of your ingredients and meats, as certified humane meats really do taste better, and you’re also caring for the animals well being.
19:09 didn't expect Digimon world file city theme in here, PS1 Nostalgia.
A Michelin chef? Never heard of a Michelin chef. Hes more a chef from a Michelin stared restaurant I think….
I thought Prophet Lovy Elias was near that Simmi (idk how to spell it) valley area in California
which michelin starred restaurant was he a chef at? I mean the chef, not a sous, or chef de partie, but the head chef? And michelin isn't all that. They came to san francisco and when they released their reviews a couple of the places had closed.
Lol, that name origin story sounds dodgy. The car was called a Zephyr so the name really should be Zeph.
That Four Monks Apple Cider Vin is the shit, I use it at my spot too and won't touch anything else!
The wood has no affect to the taste it’s all about the advertising along with the sides… Smoke taste is assured and acquired by seasoning that it’s added on…
He does great bbq. Brisket and nanner pudding are ridiculous. So delicious
Accept challenges, so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
Black walnut is poisonous! The heck are you thinking?
Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.
music at 17:00 had me thinking i had a ludwig stream on in the background lmao
I need that Bluey shirt
im sure its fire however good bbq and michelin do not ever need to be used in the same sentence tbh
Ant wtf when you become a filmmaker? And a damn good one at that.
Ranch 99? Quality there arw not good.
Betterhelp is terrible, wish YTers would look further into their sponsors before just cashing those juicy checks.
Have you used it? I have and I liked it. It’s not for everyone but some may find value like i did.
@@AntsBBQCookout i prefer my private health information not sold to 3rd party advertisers. thats what Betterhelp got caught doing.
The digimon adventure music was a nice surprise
Look at that awful tat sleeve. He MUST be a good chef lol
Mad props on making yours come through
Yo that digimon world music used was 🤌🏼
I want to enjoy watching this video, but I can’t make it through it because he keeps using the filler word like. How many times could you say like in one sentence?
hahaha he's from Cali, that's how we talk. That's like not being able to watch a BBC video because everyone has "that British weird accent" 😂
IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW
IT WAS A MATTER OF TIME FOR THIS GUY
This video is fucking phenomenal
That's a lot of work for $1600 of revenue -hopefully not considering their entire revenue for the week. I applaud them for being self-sufficient. It seems to me they can greatly expand the operation to bring in better revenue a multitude of ways. Kudos!
Did you use music from digimon world on purpose
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.
That is a really smart way to maximize your time and not make people wait 3-4 hours for food. Preorders with pick up times....I'm writing that down
did he just say i moved into my daddys house??? lol
Freeze-frame @24:53 gimme that any day.😮❤
Weird how i often see americaan chefs going to the supermarket to get their food ahah
In europe, those restaurants are seen as bad restaurants.
Good restaurants have specific vegetable/meat/dairy supplier coming every day/week to supply.
You get better price, better product
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 you need to figure out the difference between L.A. and LA, keep getting my hopes up it is Louisiana lol.
It's actually in Ventura county not Los Angeles county.
Yo I love the use of Digimon world ost
Open 2 days a week? Yeah hustling
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!
Where is this MFers michelin star. When he started bringing those plates out, my jaw dropped and i was drooling everywhere. Every plate looked amazing.

Used to be called Jetro back in the day
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.
Ant I need you to come to Georgia and checkout Sweet Auburn Bbq in McDonough, Ga you would love the owner and food.
Creative ways to use American bbq with dishes from around the world! Great stuff!
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.

Hard to call this bbq IMO.

Wait! He was on that BBQ competition show on Netflix!

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.
