From what I tried; the brisket, smoked/fried wings, burgers, ribs and tallow curly fries are all incredible! So make sure you visit Charlie at Single Tree and let him know I sent you! If you enjoyed the video make sure to like it and share it! It really helps these videos get more traction which allows me to continue to travel and make more in the future :) Currently editing the next BBQ story at Burnt Bean! I have been trying to coordinate schedules with Ernest for almost a year now, and so I am so excited to share this next story with y’all!
I had the pleasure of meeting the owner while on a travel job. A week or so ago. This guy is hands down a great host and an even better pit master. Im an amature smoker so he told me some tips without gate keeping. Which is huge in the BBQ community. The food was amazing some of the BEST BBQ I had from TN, TEXAS and ATL. Would definitely return!
You've found your calling Ant! Your interview videos are outstanding. The editing, mix of b-roll and voice overs looks professional. Keep up the great work. I love these videos. Cheers!!
thanks so much! i try to get better every upload, but i still have a long way to go. Theres still so much to master and hone in, im just getting started! Thanks for supporting me on this journey 🙏
I like the fact that as you see so many different ways of cooking, you are open to new styles. You dont try to call them out or correct them on what they are doing. You ask them why and let them tell their story. @@AntsBBQCookout
This is the most beautifully done portrait of a man and his business I have ever seen! Charlie deserves this, he is one of the best humans you will ever meet!
Ant, what you’re doing is my dream. BBQ is such a passion fueled industry. Seeing and hearing all these stories of these different pitmasters and almost all of them have that calm passionate demeanor. It’s the love you can see in their eyes and your videos portray it perfect!
I’m addicted to your documentary style vids! I’m so excited for the next episode. I love your reactions when you bite into anything tasty lol makes me want to try whatever you’re eating
Your storytelling and production quality just get better and better. In this video, you once again showed that great BBQ is the product of the heart and soul of the people who produce it. Thank you for another great BBQ story!
Definitely on my list to visit. My wife is from Memphis, we own property south of Bolivar, Tenn. So we will drive NE to check Single Tree out. Thanks Ant. God Bless 🙏🏼
i can feel the passion and dedication of the owners of this place thru your lens. i run my own food truck at a winery in oregon and this is super inspiring to me. thanks for sharing.
Ant, I absolutely love these video series . You ability to create and edit your vision has expanded and improved so much over the last few years…. To the point, these are easily tv mainstream tv / streaming level of quality. You should be proud man, and have way more views. Big love from UK.
That means more to me than you know. I fund, film, and edit all of these videos on my own. And the 100s of hours it takes to make each one feels worth it when I read comments like this. Haha no I was completely ghosted by all the ones I reached out to so far. Going to a NC one in December though 👀
@AntsBBQCookout Well that's too bad and their loss! Your vids Make us want to go to places we otherwise never would! They make us make lists of places to visit even. Keep up the good work brother!
martins for whole hog, peg leg porker for ribs, shotgun willies for brisket and spare ribs. these are all nashville though, i heard BE Scotts is really good whole hog out in west TN. Haven't been there yet though
im going 100% docs now! i have some bangers on the slate coming up so stay tuned. (i do have a pit review i already signed a contract for though, but after that, all docs!)
the bark was great, no joke! his brisket is very traditional salt and pepper. no season-all. i'm learning many ways to do brisket on this trips other than goldees style
Love that you're showcasing some TN BBQ! Maybe you can do Bringles Smoking Oasis. Its Carey Bringles (Peg Leg Porker) TX style joint. Hope to have my own place in Nashvegas one day!
If you ever make your way to New England- BT’s Smokehouse Sturbridge Mass. would love to see a documentary on that place. Great videos, keep them coming.
I ate here roughly six months ago. The meat had little to no salt. I was quite disappointed. Salt is the simplest technique to enhance the flavor of food. My favorite barbecue joint was Goff's BBQ, which was on Thompson Lane from 1970 to 2010. He smoked with hickory then boiled in water with salt and cayenne pepper. The flavors were evenly distributed and the meat was juicy. Puckett's and Rick's boil their meat after smoking but they don't add cayenne pepper.
Only problem with this guys logic in that he "wont serve an inferior product to his customers" regarding choice versus prime is he is trusting a govt USDA grader who is watching many sides of beef roll down a line at a fast rate of speed to distinguish that. Let me reiterate these are government workers who often are just there for a paycheck. It would be who of him to work briefly in a meat packing facility to better understand this. I see "prime" cuts that are choice at best regularly. If he wants to be that premier then he needs to go into the meat packing facilities himself and hand select every morning like top steakhouses such as Peter Luger do. There will never be a "Nike" of BBQ because any barbeque restaurant that attempts to turn into a chain and serves in volume loses quality and the essence of what top BBQ is meant to be. Dickey's, Rudy's, etc are perfect examples of this. Can only ever be average bbq at best when serving in volume as he cant physically oversee every restaurant and people he hires will never put the love into it he will. Especially modern workers post-covid. The average restaurant employee simply doesn't give AF anymore and the only way to make them give AF is to be there everyday yourself and drive them which is impossible as a chain. The best BBQ chefs in the world such as Aaron Franklin and Jirby understand this. Hence why Jirbys new restaurant only serves ribs and not the full Goldees menu. This guy may be a veteran pitmaster but his comments show he is extremely wet behind the ears in running businesses. With all that said I wish all the best to him and suspect he will have to make a tough choice as he attempts to grow between quality and volume.

Well I believe! I will be visiting this establishment!! Great story telling! Be a nice getaway weekend!
awesome man let Charlie know i sent you :)
Well done video, probably one of the best I have scene behind the scenes
Absolutely brilliant bbq content. Loved it.
All I’m missing in this is a quick review, incredible video Ant 👍🏼
Haha the audience has spoken. No more tray videos for the foreseeable future 😂
I always spray whatever it is that I wrap usually one part vinegar to two parts water.
Keep it up Ant, videos are amazing!
Thank you!
This man’s BBQ looks damn good!
💯
Hey ant sweet vid! How’d you feel about the spraying of the wrapped brisket? Looked like he saturated it pretty good
his brisket was pretty dang good, haha so it works. Whats the science behind it.. idk man hahaha
That’s a good story. Thanks.
thanks for watching!
I literally live right behind the restaurant. 😂 awesome place! 🙏🙏
Ant my dude, this video is fire. Keep up the fantastic work!
thank you, God willing 🙏
These videos feel like a high quality high budget TV show! Thanks Ant! Btw did you finally get any of the Georgia bbq places on the schedule?!
That means more to me than you know. I fund, film, and edit all of these videos on my own. And the 100s of hours it takes to make each one feels worth it when I read comments like this.
Haha no I was completely ghosted by all the ones I reached out to so far. Going to a NC one in December though 👀

Heading to Tennessee in Nov. This is now a stop on my way to Gatlinburg. Any other recommendations?
martins for whole hog, peg leg porker for ribs, shotgun willies for brisket and spare ribs. these are all nashville though, i heard BE Scotts is really good whole hog out in west TN. Haven't been there yet though
I am only two hours away from you!! Definitely going to pay you a visit!
love it, i would sell up and come work for you to learn everything and open one back here in the nz top man
awesome stuff ant you need to head down to okc soon for that spot edge craft I mentioned haha
All of this food looks crazy delicious.
That brisket trim looked on point
Sam Cooke and BBQ sounds like an amazing combination.
Absolutely excellent video, Ant! Very well done. Great people cooking great food.
thank you very much!
Documentary style is ur best work.
im going 100% docs now! i have some bangers on the slate coming up so stay tuned. (i do have a pit review i already signed a contract for though, but after that, all docs!)
Ant found something that takes longer to finish than a brisket... a full on bbq documentary 🤣
Hahaha oh man, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you comment! You’re an OG from the react days I remember the Yajirobi pfp Glad to see you back!
@@AntsBBQCookout lol, I guess I’m a lurker. Great content as always!
@AntsBBQCookout killer job brother. I love it.
thank you, bro!
Great video! I just don’t think he’s got a good bark on the briskets. I knew the bark was gonna be lacking when he was seasoning them lol
the bark was great, no joke! his brisket is very traditional salt and pepper. no season-all. i'm learning many ways to do brisket on this trips other than goldees style
@@AntsBBQCookout Lol sorry no disrespect to the guy. His story is very heartwarming!
Love that you're showcasing some TN BBQ! Maybe you can do Bringles Smoking Oasis. Its Carey Bringles (Peg Leg Porker) TX style joint.
Hope to have my own place in Nashvegas one day!
I'm trying to do one at peg leg! Can't get ahold of Carey though, Charlie did a podcast episode with him so ill see if he can hook me up!
Nice work Single Tree 👍
👏👏
What an inspirational story!
💯
If you ever make your way to New England- BT’s Smokehouse Sturbridge Mass. would love to see a documentary on that place. Great videos, keep them coming.
Added to the list! Thanks for watching and supporting 🙏
Awesome.
What a good idea. A bbq buffet.
Great job.
Thanks!
Love your content
Thank you!
Not sure what he means by “the Nike of BBQ” but I’m into it
me either, but it's provocative. it gets the people going
Can a 30 plus year Chef semi retired chase his dream of bbq? Looking for advice?
This story here is what I feel bbq is all about
Real talk on scoring the membrane on those ribs. Tried both methods and it didn’t make a difference.
Love it!
🙏
One day I might be in a interview 🙏🏽🤞🏽
Please interview salt pepper oak out of pass christian Mississippi
Spares are the best! I don't get the baby back hype. I don't pull the membrane either.
Wait, it’s not my BBQ? Damn, I thought I had a shot !
😂😂
As soon as I saw those beef ribs get wrapped without tallow….soul crushing
Nice
🙏
Being good is better than being big. Focus on being good. The rest will take care of itself.
First 🎉🎉🎉 awesome video
thank you!
🔥
9:29 what kind of bun?
From a local bakery in Nashville, charpier’s
👏👏👏

Great restaurant and great family!

Charlie has definitely watched some Ronnie Coleman videos in his lifetime lol.
Big fan but “the Nike of BBQ” isn’t it. Makes me think of Foxconn and sl*ved labor. 😅
Good dude 👌 👍 food respect 🙏 🫡 my brother keep on rocking bro 👌 💪 👍
