Great video Greg! I figured that tallow and seasoned salt thing on the Aaron Franklin briskets was a load of TH-cam crap! Super happy a personal acquaintance of Aaron Franklin confirmed this! My kind of video brother!
Hey Greg, These videos where you film trying out different BBQ places is really entertaining and informative. I believe that you do a great job of bringing out the behind the scenes back story details that interest and inspire us in the BBQ community. Thanks for sharing. I think that you may have another channel being birthed before our eyes.
Thank you for video! This is so interesting to watch what happening in your side of the world! Beautiful people, cooking masters, It is so inspiring just for life and something to try by myself! Cheers from Moscow!
I really liked this video. It was a nice change of pace for you, and it got me wanting to try to make something new. I’ve never had beef ribs before, but that plate looked damn good. I think I’m going to look into getting some for my Traeger.👍
Great video Greg, as a Texan I approve of El Borracho, I will be trying to reproduce that "Frito Relish" recipe. Their smoke house looks a lot like Terry Black's here in Austin.
I would try the borracho, if I wasn’t craving straight up Q. The polenta and frito salsa sounds like it would also be good with a spicy bowl of Texas red! Great video, I like seeing what others are doing.
I definitely remember you being on an old episode of DDD, I just can’t recall the name of the establishment. You were sitting in the background eating in the dining room.
Thank you Greg! Had the beef rib😛 Heather had the pulled pork tacos. EXCELLENT bbq. Thanks again for reminding us about this treasure in our our back yard!!
Right northeast of SA here, I'd eat that any day. We put freaking brisket in our breakfast tacos. The only thing I'm wary of is the polenta cause I've never had that.
Greg, what do you think would be the best time of day to go so they're not out of stuff, right when they open? I would like to try their tri-tip. p.s. you said "cheers" with empty hands.
@@BallisticBBQ not sure why I got obsessed but googled SD restaurants on Triple D, then saw the burger joints. I didn't see anything on Hodad, but I saw a familiar face in uniform at Crazy Burger
Need to trim up that brisket a little more, fat cap didn't render enough. Still delish. Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano looks a little better to me.
I want to go there, just to show their process. Not really BBQ (in my opinion) but a very successful place. More of a low n slow cook in convection ovens and then finished on an open grill. I dunno... Should I?
You know, I plan on doing a tour of all the SD places. Phil's (I feel) is more of a kinda' hybrid grilling place, instead of BBQ... But, it is very popular and worth a video I think. Thoughts?
@@phisiks It's funny, my wife and I ate there a few weeks ago while in the area. We were talking about it, and I decided I like their beef back ribs. Their good, but those are grilled beef ribs, nothing BBQ'd about them. I agree, the rich history alone makes it worth a video.
What a great interview! That story at 11:15 is TH-cam GOLD! I love that he gave you that. Great job, Greg! Keep them coming!
Gold brother! Cheers Justin!
@@BallisticBBQ Isn't Justin floating around on a ship? What's he doing watching your videos.
@@David-burrito LOL! He's back now, safe and sound.
Great video Greg! I figured that tallow and seasoned salt thing on the Aaron Franklin briskets was a load of TH-cam crap! Super happy a personal acquaintance of Aaron Franklin confirmed this! My kind of video brother!
Thanks for watching Rus! Yeah, a lot of people look for that "Magic Pill" when it comes to having success with brisket! It gets the clicks! 👍

Greg's real personality shines in these vlog vids. I loved this
This was a fun outing, Greg! Loved the format! It felt like watching a show on Food Network. I love your cooking videos, but this was a fun change!
Another great Vlog!! Bbq, drinks and music is my kind of place and that brisket looked outstanding.
Give me a ring next time you're down in Cali. Maybe we can meet up? There is also a pretty cool place not too far from DL in Old Orange.
That turkey sandwich was killer! I'm loving these vloggs greg! Love how you filmed this and didn't disturb
Thank you for video! This is so interesting to watch what happening in your side of the world! Beautiful people, cooking masters, It is so inspiring just for life and something to try by myself! Cheers from Moscow!
Cheers Alex! Hope you can make it down here someday!
This is great content, Greg! Keep doing these types of videos!
You got it!
@@BallisticBBQ Yeah
Those big boulders hills behind the business are beautiful!
THANK YOU GREG
LOVE THIS! Hope to visit San Diego someday!
That place looks so cool! Didn't expect that when I read "San Diego."
I love these videos! Keep this up Greg!
I really liked this video. It was a nice change of pace for you, and it got me wanting to try to make something new. I’ve never had beef ribs before, but that plate looked damn good. I think I’m going to look into getting some for my Traeger.👍
Thank you Ron!
Yes! I was hoping you would do one of these reviews again!
I live in Central Texas and I'd visit that place! Nice job Ballistic!
Those pits were HUGE! And no vegan offerings!!! I like it!!!
Yes!!!!
Did ya' get to drink that cocktail mister? LOL!
Bummed they sold out of tri-tip! Can't wait for the next vlog!
Great video Greg, as a Texan I approve of El Borracho, I will be trying to reproduce that "Frito Relish" recipe. Their smoke house looks a lot like Terry Black's here in Austin.
Thanks for watching Tom!
A very interesting and beautiful report, which I appreciate very much and I'm looking forward to more videos like this👍👍👍
More to come!
Please hit one of those old-school places you guys mentioned. Cheers!
Yeah, ya' got me beat by about 5 minutes! I took the Old 80 shot from that corner on Los Coches and Old 80.
I don't like Fritos or Polenta but I would order an El Borracho in a hot second. It just looks that good.
Love how to the point Andy was! LOL at the tallow "secret."
The only thing you need to know about brisket at 10:48
Wow Greg. Great video!! So much info I had to add it to watch later so I could take it all in again.
Awesome! Thank you!
That outdoor area is awesome. I'm guessing in SD it is a year-round place
Definitely trying Toem, it seems like a very chill and laid back experience with an easy Platinum.
You are making drive from Riverside to San Diego, can’t wait
I wish you could have got the tri-tip on camera Greg! Good vid though!
Long video and it totally flew by! Love this type of show Greg!
Thanks for watching James!
@@BallisticBBQ welcome
That was some great-looking Q. My type of place!
Mine too!
@@BallisticBBQ Yeah :)
Wow, this looks great. I've been down that way several times lately visiting family. I'm gonna need to stop buy next time I go.
These are the types of places that make you proud to be from where you are. A true destination
Not sure about that cheese rib mess, but the rest of the food looks great!
I would try the borracho, if I wasn’t craving straight up Q. The polenta and frito salsa sounds like it would also be good with a spicy bowl of Texas red! Great video, I like seeing what others are doing.
Definitely have to try this place! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Daymon!
Top channel Top bloke 👍
The first good thing I have heard about California in years.
Fishing is good here as well...
I could only imagine if you had a crew with you. Nice job!!!!!!
Cheers Andrew, Thanks for the support brother!
@@BallisticBBQ you are welcome
Very cool man
Cheers Bronson!
Great video, Greg! Thanks for doing this!
Thanks for watching George!
Such a fun video! Flew by Mr Greg!
That looks like a cool place,im feeling the vibe just watching
Thanks for stopping in Michael. Yeah, we really enjoy this place. Very good vibe.
Love these. Would love to see more. Great work Greg.
Interesting take on the whole tallow thing. I always thought it was BS.
There is a lot of fat in a brisket.
@@BallisticBBQ Yeah
Great video Greg!! FYI Terry Black’s here in Dallas has FIVE 1,000 gallon Sunny Moberg pits burning post oak
Black's is awesome! But, do they also have three large Old Hickory pits? ;). Cheers Jeremy!
Wow awesome place!
Am craving now…..
El Borracho... hmmmm.... gonna have to come out and try that! I do love me some Fritos... Thanks Greg!!
NUMMMMMMMMERS!
I definitely remember you being on an old episode of DDD, I just can’t recall the name of the establishment. You were sitting in the background eating in the dining room.
At one point, I'm actually talking about the restaurant with Guy.
The production is a bit too raw, but great video!
Pretty awesome looking establishment. Cheers, Greg! ✌️
Thank you Dwayne! Cheers!
I like Salt Lick! I'd love to give this place a go, however!
Wow ! What a place !
Enjoyed your video
A little slice of Texas in Cali. Who wudda thunk!
Exactly!
Thanks Greg! It’s my birthday and I’m headed over to the Grand Old Bbq while they still have beef ribs!!!
Happy Birthday Gary!
Thank you Greg! Had the beef rib😛
Heather had the pulled pork tacos. EXCELLENT bbq. Thanks again for reminding us about this treasure in our our back yard!!
@@garyjennings9458 Give me a holler if you ever want to meet there.
Will do my friend 😉
Roadtrip! Thanks for the video. Place looks great.
Thank you for stopping by Paul!

Lunch
@@andrewharris3385 thank you Sir. Lunch suits me just fine.
If you can make it for lunch, or early dinner on a weeknight. There will be no band, but less risk of them running out of food.
@@BallisticBBQ thanks Greg. I can do without the band, I just wanna eat!
@@David-burrito I get it, and you're just down the road from GOB!
wonderful
That place looks awesome. Now I am researching what episode of Triple D you were on. I am guessing as a customer interviewed?
You're getting warm.
@@BallisticBBQ not sure why I got obsessed but googled SD restaurants on Triple D, then saw the burger joints. I didn't see anything on Hodad, but I saw a familiar face in uniform at Crazy Burger
@@lx2nv Yes! Towards the end of that episode, I actually talk about the burger joint. Good Job!
@@BallisticBBQ Thank you sir, Cheers!
Is their tri tip the Santa Maria steak style, or the slow cooked brisket style? Might be in the minority but really enjoy the latter.
It's Santa Maria Style, med-rare.
OK Greg, it's all your fault. I'm going to Grand Ole BBQ tomorrow with a subcontractor.
Wish I could join you! LOL!
@@BallisticBBQ I'll betcha I don't have enough stomach space to try everything I'd like to. I'll do my best!
Great video!
Thanks for the visit
What's up? Long time no see (except in your videos). Lol. Great review. I see BBQ for dinner in the near future. Do more of these videos.
LOL! You got it Peter!
Funny you should ask Greg. I remember seeing you in the Crazee Burger episode. Is there a prize for the first correct guess?
Awesome one. 🔥👍👍❤️❤️🤠
Thank you! Cheers!
A good watch
Need to trim up that brisket a little more, fat cap didn't render enough. Still delish.
Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano looks a little better to me.
Damn, Now I'm Hungry!
Thanks for watching Sammy!
Got the feeling that you’d be more than happy to work those pits for free Greg 🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
That would be fun, hanging out with some friends baby sitting those huge pits!
I was in S.D earlier this year. Wish I knew of this place. By the way, their link that you have provided does not work.
Thank you DS. I'll check the link.
Sup Greg, will try not to leave long comment 😂, just simple awesome 👊, tyvm tc
Cameo or a feature restaurant? FYI Greg love the video.
Eating there, and being interviewed about the food.
@@BallisticBBQ I’m on a mission, I love triple D. I can only guess it’s at least in California.
@@SimplisticsBBQ It is in California.
@@BallisticBBQ I’m enjoying the hunt man lol good re-inspiration for some flavors I’d forgot about. Greatly appreciate the challenge.
So Phil’s is a no go 😂🤣
I want to go there, just to show their process. Not really BBQ (in my opinion) but a very successful place. More of a low n slow cook in convection ovens and then finished on an open grill. I dunno... Should I?
@@BallisticBBQ nah, no point. How about Coop’s in Lemon Grove?
@@hombresg33 Gotta' do Coops!
I was expecting a phills bbq video. lol jk jk jk
You know, I plan on doing a tour of all the SD places. Phil's (I feel) is more of a kinda' hybrid grilling place, instead of BBQ... But, it is very popular and worth a video I think. Thoughts?
@@BallisticBBQ 100% a hybrid. I think it’s still worth a video, they have a rich history in San Diego and like you said, it’s very popular
@@phisiks It's funny, my wife and I ate there a few weeks ago while in the area. We were talking about it, and I decided I like their beef back ribs. Their good, but those are grilled beef ribs, nothing BBQ'd about them. I agree, the rich history alone makes it worth a video.
@@BallisticBBQ I lived in San Marcos and would go often. It’s a fast casual “BBQ” place that takes away the craving. I miss the onion rings lol
Please, copycat that borracho rib!
Actually planning on that!
WOW that brisket is ON POINT ! hehe intentional pun
Thank you CJ!
