What barbecue spot do you think Eater should do a 'Smoke Point' episode on?
All of them.
Franklin
Khoai Barbeque, also owned by a Vietnamese guy in Houston.
All of them!
according to eater, vietnamese heritage = korean, chinese, and thai
This is by and large the most integrated fusion of Asian and southern style BBQ I’ve ever seen. Really cool to see the passion.
You should check out Khoai Barbeque, which is also a Vietnamese guy in Houston doing BBQ.
@@doodahgurlie Houston has so many Vietnamese fusions, we have such a wonderful vietnamese community!
I gotta check out Texas sometime
Heritage bbq in Atlanta is legendary for its Korean influenced Texas bbq.
DEP TRAIIIIII LETS PHOOOOKEN GOOOOOO
I’ve probably watched 100 of these videos, gotta give props to Eater. The editing is always on point, you let the chefs showcase their foods, and even stuff I’ve never thought about you make seem really tasty and interesting.
Same for me, I love the format and the editing!
It also seems like all the chefs and pit masters are so well spoken and articulate about their craft
What stands out so much about the editing?
These videos inspire my inner chef.
I’m still terrible at cooking but it’s nice to dream.
DEP TRAIIIIII LETS PHOOOOKEN GOOOOOO
I ate at this restaurant around three months ago. No joke, the best barbecue I’ve ever eaten. The brisket MELTED in your mouth, I didn’t really chew at all. Super memorable. I haven’t gone since because it’s only open thursdays and saturdays and it’s very busy but I would totally recommend. As a vietnamese person though, the Asian inspired side dishes weren’t very good but the barbecue was great!
Have you tried corkscrew in old town spring? He is wearing their hat
@@elekanobles3454 no never but I will definitely keep it in mind thank you
What's the address !!!!
@@manuelcabeza6922 Google it. Blood Bros BBQ near 610 West Loop
Htown holding it down
Being a pitmaster is already cool as hell, but on top of that love and dedication for BBQ he also shows his love for his heritage, bringing something new to the table by introducing flavors from his unique background
DEP TRAIIIIII LETS PHOOOOKEN GOOOOOO
You mean introducing flavors to white people other then Mayonnaise??
@@yapaul6226 i mean hey any white person associated with bbq prolly knows their stuff when it comes to flavour and seasoning
@@andyzhang7890 sorry but if you look throughout the time since man kind.. SE Asians and their spices has been traded throughout the world. Before Ghangis Khon and before Nomads. That is why in America, you guys just season with salt and pepper and calls it the best BBQ ever. In Asia, its called burned meat. That is why, Asian cuisine is at the top in flavors and seasonings. India is the world leader in spice trade. White folks barely learning how to incorporate age old spices. Wait until you find out what Lemon grass can do
@@yapaul6226 You've never had cajun food. Any if you think Southern food is just salt and pepper, you're a clownish buffoon
This is what America is about. Combining the best you can from all cultures.
Then adding 3 cups of sugar
@@SecularDarwinism you dont get more AMERICAN than that unless you add a pound of butter....
Lol dont flatter yourselves.
And work hard to make a living.... not to depend on Welfare or rob others....
@@huyenthoai9979 Wish the government thought the same and MABYE try not to leech too much from its people.
guy has a vietnamese southern and texas accent. what a fascinating and cool combo.
the “rehabilitation” of barbecue and pit smoking has been amazing to watch and amazing to see all these great restaurants evolve into
DEP TRAIIIIII LETS PHOOOOKEN GOOOOOO
rehabilitation?
Why does bbq need rehabilitation? This needs an answer.
Perhaps you meant “elevation”
Those char sui pork bells bao buns look absolutely unbelievable. Living in Scotland we don't get stuff like that, wish someone with as much passion as you would open something up here!
Seemingly chill pit master putting out what looks like some absolute flame BBQ. Dude emits a calming aura that just screams BBQ guru to me. Next time I am in Houston I have to drop by!
Houstonian here, place is fire
DEP TRAIIIIII LETS PHOOOOKEN GOOOOOO
All the food in this video looks so good!It’s pretty much all of the flavors I eat everyday but in barbecue form. That makes the taste of the spices and seasonings even better!
Wow. Pitmaster Quy Hoang and his team have really integrated Asian flavors into traditional barbecue here. The two culinary strands are inextricably woven together in some delicious ways! That pork belly with the fried bao and pickled on choy though...that particularly caught my eye. So creative. Pickling on choy seems like such a brilliant move too.
Seeing these BBQ and sushi videos on my suggested always puts a smile on my face, I've gained so much respect for the two crafts from watching these series.
This was one of the best of many episodes very creative and thinking outside the box and the fisherman and restaurant owners relationship is a plus and let’s not even forget the anchovice entire process from the farming to the meals
This is literally the stuff I live for. Its now on the TexAsian hit list, much love
he seems to be a really cool and comfy dude
i like the way he cooks and his passion
awesome food fusion
I was here and their food flavor was excellent. Only advice, once they sell out that is it, you can’t quick whip up bbq, if they are out they are out. So go early and get them when they are fresh, best way to enjoy any BBQ.
I respect that. I like my BBQ as fresh as can be and if they are selling out that means their stuff is good.
Yeah man! I’m trying to start my own bbq business. Right now we’re just doing pop ups. We have a small following, but one of the things that completely irks me is pre-orders. Once we setup and are ready to sell we have almost a dozen pre-orders. They don’t show up until about 20-30 minutes later when the food is getting cold. I appreciate the business, but I hate that they let the food sit there.
I definitely enjoy this Channel and all the variety you bring. This episode is especially interesting as I loved trying different foods when I used to travel overseas in the east. The fact that they are taking some of the food culture they grew up with and adding it to the American experience and coming up with all these great ideas is awesome. That's what makes America great, all the food combinations coming together!
Love this place! My gf and I were at cvs and followed our nose straight into blood bros and tried everything! Loved in and will definitely go back. Agreed that this is Houston BBQ.
Holy moly, this BBQ looks incredible. All the different varieties 100% awesome.
Texas bbq is so unique, everyone has their take on it depending on heritage. Especially here in Houston, the amount of different types of barbecue is insane! You have original traditional, to some interesting techniques from blending different cultures together
I could listen to this guy talk for hours. I love his voice and accent!
Been wanting something like this for a long time.
Lots of Vietnamese folks moved to the Texas gulf coast in the 70's and I want to see every different culture add their OWN flavors to BBQ....then we get to eat it =)
So which one is your favorite so far?
Wow so cool to see so many cultures in one video! It awesome that he is able to successfully combine flavors in one resturant!
Well, I eat for the FLAVORs, NOT for cultures! It's weird to me that people like you would even mention about "cultures" when eating, just like those nuts who demand perfect decoration or space of the food! Just tuck the hell in!
I’ve been here a dozen times and never tried the standard Texas bbq offerings, their specials are just too good.
Guy seems chill as hell. Love it.
They are good. Glad they are getting some recognition.
The fusion seems so natural Gochujang is one of the world's still underrated sauces and to pair that with Texas BBQ, wow!
A number of years back there was a BBQ Pitmaster show I believe on the food channel. I always loved watching the various Pitmasters on this show doing their different BBQ style cooking. It is sad that we do not have such shows on any longer. They were much better than the crapola on regular TV. I really love watching these folks doing it their way & it looks so damn tasty~! Shalom
That bowl he uses to contain spices bring me back to the old days😍
Love it!!! Chef is innovative 💡 and blends multiple cultures into his cooking producing DELICIOUSNESS 😋. Congrats Chef
Coolest thing is seeing the authentic stuff, then seeing the Mexican flavors, Thai flavors, or just different twist from people across the world. People are so creative.
DEP TRAIIIIII LETS PHOOOOKEN GOOOOOO
Been in southwest Houston my whole life and I’ve never heard of Blood Bros! Definitely checking them out asap.
i love the idea of bringing different food culture to traditional Texas barbecue i will definitely be checking this place out next time i’m in Houston.
This is what I'm talking about! Innovating and mixing!
As someone who loves barbeque, and tried just about all the Texas joint's everyone raves about including Franklins, I would like to see more different flavor profiles... I don't want every new pitmaster to just try the same "salt and pepper" and try to mimic someone like Franklin's... if that happened, we'd get the same BBQ flavor profile everywhere in the US and that's definitely not what you would want in the food industry... you gotta innovate and try new
bruh just get some asian dipping sauces and smother it over your smoked meat.. not that hard lol its by far disgusting to bring asian flavors to barbeque. meat all it needs is salt and pepper.
@@Boo-nj1ex bruh, you probably slather all your food in mayonnaise. The Asian spice trade introduced various spices to the world hundreds of years ago and you’re still just using salt and pepper?! You do know there’s other sexual positions other than missionary right?
@@Boo-nj1ex why so pressed
Yup, crafty BBQs all about being creative and unique. Blood Bros is one for sure.
The Korean gochujang sauce goes really nice with smoked chicken and pork. Gotta visit this place some day.
EVERYTHING looked amazing!!!
What a great video! Would love to try their food one day. Nice guy on top of it all. Thanks for sharing!
Everything looks soo good!
Pitmaster Hoang is about the most humble chill cool person ever featured on this channel.
Awesome! Very humble and passionate.
Hell yeah Brother. The food looks out of this world amazing. If, I were where you are, I would be a regular. Respect and blesses. To you, your family, and your crew.
Great videos, always find the coolest people to interview and great cinematography.
Wow. As a lover of thai and southern BBQ, I have to say, wonderful job... When I go through Houston again, I hope to patron here.
I'm friends with this guy's brother. Eaten there a couple of times and it's legit. Definitely one of the best BBQ joints in Houston.

This is your best video yet
I watched for the sausage but enjoyed the entire video 💜

Bro. If you make it..
They will come.
If you make it good…
They will always come back!!!!
Great job!!!
This looks 🔥 I didn’t know about the bend and don’t break method but I can’t wait to try it!
This channel is incredible, love the content!
These ribs looked absolutely delicious 😋
Definitely checking this place out when I go to Texas
What I love about food is that you can mix & blend all different cultures into one, & create a new dish for all to enjoy.
That looks SOOOO good!!
I'm 100% going to try that gochujang sauce, I already make something similar but never thought yo use it with bbq
I’m not going to lie what they’re doing here is amazing I’m a huge huge Asian food enthusiast because the flavors and umami in their food is all there. I wonder if they would consider doing something like kalbi but with the st loius ribs whole 🤔
I thought I’m the only one but yes I was thinking about this fusion for couple of years now too. One day I gotta try it out at home
BBQ videos never get old
never watch this type of vids at midnight. lesson learned. i’m drooling
Pretty cool to see the fusion of Vietnamese and Texas cultures in the newer generations.
I love seeing cultural flavors combining like this.
Great ep, keep em coming
Loves these videos.
Everything looks out of this world.
As an Asian American, I highly approve of his BBQ message. Keep on rockin'! 🤘😁
I used to live within 1mile from Blood Bros in Houston! Hands down best BBQ 🔥😍 They run out of bbq very quick !! Be early folks!
No wonder these guys are so good... Just take a look at the meats they use. AMAZING looking meat !

This guy is by far the most Texan Asian I have ever heard before. The way he says gojuchang is hilarious. But props to my fellow Vietnamese brethen on his come up
this looks way better than any other bbq......I want everything!!!
49 year old South Texan here:
I 100% support these fusion styles of Bar-B-Q.
