Podcasts about 2m smokehouse

Esaul Ramos is the Co-Owner of Blu Lacey Smokehouse in Castroville, Texas and of 2M Smokehouse in San Antonio, Texas. Jorge goes 2Hard2Fast with Esaul on how he got interested in barbecue, practiced as a Texas BBQ Pitmaster, what his thoughts are on Texas BBQ, how he became a restaurant owner; but between these topics we go off the rails and enjoy some good laughs. I also confess on how I am the people that misjudge or mistrust that a pound of brisket is not a pound depending where you order it from. Esaul shares his 2Hard2Fast Story on how his 2M Smokehouse almost burned down.

2M Smokehouse in San Antonio served us food that was a reminder of just how good barbecue can be

25 year-old Dylan Taylor has extensive experience in the barbecue world as a pitmaster and has worked at famed barbecue joints all across Austin including Terry Black’s Barbecue, 2M Smokehouse, Truth Barbeque and La Barbecue. He now owns and operates his own barbecue spot, Goldee’s Barbecue, in Fort Worth, Texas with four of his childhood best friends. Originally, Dylan made the move from Arlington to Austin to go to college and to play music with his band, but after a year he realized college was not his thing. He then began delivering pizzas for Pizza Hut but he was quickly sold on that central Texas barbecue life once he started dining out at local barbecue spots. In this episode, we discuss why Dylan fell in love with this industry, how his childhood friends hustled their way up to owning a restaurant in their hometown, the struggles of opening up a new place, the type of delicious meats and sides they’re serving up and how Dylan is adjusting to the current climate.

2M Smokehouse has been on the show before. They're a great group of dudes who cook fire food every week for their loyal and new customers. Every one who walks through that door is getting a treat. It's even made me consider moving to San Antonio if Austin starts getting wack. I've been wanting to push the limits of an episode and these guys were the best. Over two hours of talking about BBQ, life and the amazing scene we are in. Since we recorded this Esaul was actually nominated for a James Beard Award. This is a guy who was so committed he slept in the pit room in the early days. He has put in the work and gotten recognition for it. He has also helped create one of the most fun atmospheres in BBQ. I could have spent two more hours talking to them and we'll be hanging out again soon I'm sure. Make sure to follow these guys: Joe - https://www.instagram.com/meek_meli_/ Esaul - https://www.instagram.com/esaul_ramos Sheldon - https://www.instagram.com/mason_barbecue/ Dusty - https://www.instagram.com/doubleddworak/ If you're using Apple Podcasts please take a minute to give the show 5 stars! It helps others discover what I'm doing and if you don't want to give it 5 stars write me an email first. Maybe I can fix it ;) Thanks again for listening!

In this 'bonus' episode I chat again with Sheldon Mason from Mason Barbecue.

The interview touches on barbecue, music, cast iron & coffee as well as his friendships with Esaul Ramos & Evan LeRoy, cooking at the SOHO Chicago, the Resort at Paws Up, Hedley and Bennett, and Howlin' Rays(among other things).

For our 7th installment of our #Texmexbbqseries , I chat with Esaul Ramos of 2M Barbecue and Catering in San Antonio Texas.  From the first time I met Esaul, we hit it off and became good friends.  We often text each other on weekends when there is a good UFC fight Card and any time I'm in or around San Antonio you can always find me there.  2M's story is one filled with Grit, Determination and overflowing with passion, walking into the building you can see the results of their blood sweat and tears.  They literally put this restaurant together with their own hands, it's not fancy and they don't have a large state of the art pit room with several rigs.  They have one Pit an incredible team and some badass food.  This formula has landed them on the Texas Monthly Top 50 List, Food and Wine's Best Foods in America and many other publications.  We chat about their incredible journey and some really cool upcoming events!  We even talk a little UFC and Cars!  I hope you enjoy the show!!  Social Media: IG - @2MSmokehouse #BBQConGanas FB - 2M Smokehouse and Catering www.2Msmokehouse.com   Thanks for tuning into the I Crush Barbecue Show!

Today's guests are Esaul Ramos and Joe Melig, founders of the incredibly popular 2M Smokehouse in San Antonio. I chat with the longtime friends about how they turned a small-time popup barbecue venture into the destination bbq spot it is today. We talk about how they bootstrapped the business from the ground up, pro-tips for visiting the restaurant, and the surreal feeling of being named one of Texas Monthly's top 50 BBQ joints in Texas - within the first 6 months in business.

About the Show:   “The culture of BBQ is one of Service and Comfort. Eating here is like you are eating in my backyard.” Jordan Wright, Wrights Barbecue On this episode of the podcast, we sit down with Jordan Wright from Wrights Barbecue in Johnson, AR. Jordan is a perfect example of opportunity meeting your passion. Learn how Jordan parlayed a job at Tyson, a church dinner, and a Food Truck to new heights.  If you’ve ever been to Wrights Barbecue on any day of the week, they are open (Tue-Sat), you’ve probably stood on a long line as the aroma of barbecue permeates the air. Jordan walks us through his entrepreneurial journey and how so many other Pitmasters like Aaron Franklin from Franklins BBQ in Austin, and Esau Ramos from 2M Smokehouse, and others were kind enough to give him information, feedback, and encouragement as he got his establishment off the ground. Listening to this podcast is definitely inspirational but you will not fully understand the journey that Jordan took until you come down to Wright’s and experienced it for yourself.   As an added bonus, mention that you heard the podcast and Jordan will give you a FREE drink with your meal - Limited Time (Expires 7/31/19) Important Links: Open Tuesday thru Saturday 11 AM - 9 PM or until the meat runs out... 479-313-8618 Website WrightsBarbecue Email    Catering@WrightsBarbecue.com Instagram @WrightsBarbecue Twitter @WrightsBarbecue   This episode is sponsored by: Email info@iamnorthwestarkansas.com to learn more about sponsorship opportunities.   Connect more with I am Northwest Arkansas: Email Us hello@iamnorthwestarkansas.com Connect With Our Facebook Page https://www.Facebook.com/iamnorthwestarkansas/ Connect With Our Twitter @iamnorthwestar1 Connect With Our Instagram @iamnorthwestarkansas Join The Facebook Group https://www.Facebook.com/groups/iamnorthwestarkansas Connect with our Fearless Host Randy Wilburn on LinkedIn     Thank you for listening to this episode of the I am Northwest Arkansas podcast.

This month's 52 Weeks of BBQ adventures took Chuck and Mike to Smoke BBQ Brew Venue, 2M Smokehouse, Bob’s Smokehouse, Smokin’ Joe’s of Texas and a "Worth a Drive" trailer called Mesquite Shack BBQ. We also debate the merits of that toxic, villainous weed also known as mesquite wood, the unofficial barbecue fuel of San Antonio.

This week I’ve got a great episode for you. I long list of people I spoke with at the close of Texas Monthly BBQ. Some of these BBQ restaurant owners, cutters, pitmasters rarely get to meet and this is one of those rare occasions. The final hour of TMBBQ. I’ve got a long list of people that I got to speak with while I was walking around. So get ready, we’ve got a lot to cover. We spoke with Catherine Stiles and Lance Kirkpatrick, two of the many talents at Stiles Switch BBQ. They were hanging out with John Kulow aka ATX Food Guy. We talk to Evan Leroy of Leroy and Lewis BBQ. A modern man who always experiments with new ideas, even in BBQ. Evan was with Brad Robinson of Chuds BBQ as well as Chris Mcghee from The Switch. We talk briefly to Shane Stiles and Johnny Texas before I run into Rober Sierra of S&S Pit Crew. A guy everyone is happy to see and someone who works hard cooking BBQ. Robert cooks for his competition team when he’s not cooking for his family. I talked to Dusty Dworak from 2M Smokehouse, his knife skills serve some of the best BBQ in the state. John Mueller pulls me away to hang out with the LA BBQ crew, Ali Clem and LeAnn Mueller. They told us about their travels and all the weird things they ate in Asia. I grab a shot with Dominic Colbert and Mike Ruffino while John Brotherton shouts out his friends. Misty Roegels and they guys from Panther City get on the mic until I run into Patrick Hernandez. Patrick was working with Truth BBQ for the fest and they had one of the longest lines of the day. Of course if we’re going to hang around by the Truth tent we’re going to talk to Cory Taylor, one of the most outspoken members of the team. Leonard Botello IV owner and vision behind Truth BBQ talks to us about Houston and their soon to open second location. Finally, I run into Dylan Taylor and Joe Yim who have been cooking at Terry Black’s BBQ at one of the biggest operations in Austin. Just over that weekend they cooked over 400 briskets and they’re still smiling and having a good time. That’s the beauty of the BBQ life. You can work long hours and still have a big smile on your face. You’re creating something delicious and putting smiles on peoples faces. You get to make people happy.   That’s why this show exists, because I know it makes people happy. It connects people all over the world. I’m happy to be that connection. It’s an honor to be your host and it’s an honor to present you yet another episode of the Best BBQ Show.

Dylan Taylor has built up quite the resume at a very young age. After working at highly acclaimed BBQ spots such as Terry Black's, La Barbecue, Truth Barbeque, and 2M Smokehouse (among others), Dylan decided the time was right to start working toward opening his own place. While he scouts out possible locations, Dylan has launched Taylor Barbecue Catering, available for medium to large barbecue catering requests. In addition to the catering options, Dylan also offers restaurant consulting services as well as fully immersive, hands-on cooking classes. Students who attend Dylan's classes learn the cooking process of any and all barbecue meats from start to finish. Dylan has class options that include everything from instruction on seasoning, trimming, cooking, and slicing meats to fire management, sausage making, and more. The services he provides are all encompassing and provide a rare opportunity for aspiring barbecue cooks to learn from someone with his level of expertise.   In this episode we discuss Dylan's classes, catering options, and future restaurant plans as he gears up to make the next big leap in an already acclaimed barbecue career.   To contact Dylan about catering or classes go to: www.taylorbbqcatering.com
