He is going to be getting a trailer which will opening the end of August/early September and plans to be open Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. This interview goes deep really quickly. We talk about his upbringing, country vs. city life, the first job he took on when he turned 18 which was labor intensive, rigorous, and ultimately dangerous. But this interview evolves into what is truly important to Joseph. That being the BBQ family and how they have lifted him up and inspired him along with way. He talks of Ernest Servantes, Robert Jacob Lerma, Patrick Feges, Evan LeRoy, Clay Cowgill, JC Reid, Michael Fulmer, Arash Kharat, and so many others that have either given him advice, a chance. or just moral support.

In this episodeI chat with Ben Siegel and Chef Ted Prater from Banger's Sausage House & Beer Garden in Austin, Texas.In this almost hour long interview we talk about how Banger's came to be as well as Ben and Chef Ted's background AND what brought them together. We talk about the original concept and how Ben knew when to pivot and 'listen' to his customers to grow the business. We talk about the evolution of the smokehouse and now everything that they offer(including whole hog Thursday through Sunday). We discuss sausage making, pickling, fermenting, curing, and so much more. You will learn an exceptional amount about Banger's and the two men behind this business, which is actually only in its infant stage. You will really enjoy this.See all things(including current hours) here: https://www.bangersaustin.comSee Banger's on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/bangersaustinCheck Banger's out on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/bangersaustinSee Banger's on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/bangersaustinFollow Chef Ted here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blinkychefSee more of Robert Jacob Lerma's work here: https://www.instagram.com/robertjacoblerma

Note: This episode is from my backup recorder. It's not terrible but not as clear as you're used to. I spent the weekend hanging out with friends from all over the country. A lot of them were in town to attend an amazing smokeout hosted by Robert Jacob Lerma. I got a short clip of him speaking and reiterating the importance of working together in BBQ. I'm excited to share this clip with you. In this episode,I sat and shared a big platter from Terry Black's BBQ with Aaron Ross. We talked about his history and how BBQ and BMX have similar families. He rides a bike every day, goes on adventures and drives a classic Porsche. You can follow him @theaaronross. Follow me and tag your posts with @bestbarbecue!

In this Episode I sit down with Robert Jacob Lerma, one of the top Barbecue Photographers in the Country.  Robert has traveled the world with Legendary pit masters,  he's also visited the most Obscure joints in small town America & everything in between.  Although he has an extremely busy schedule which requires a great deal of travel with his photography, it's actually not his primary employment!  I met this Family Man & Father of 3 at his house in Bee Cave Texas Outside of Austin where we sat in his back yard with a nice bottle of Whiskey and Cigars.  His rags to riches story is very inspirational, I hope you enjoy it.

You’re listening to Best BBQ and I’m your host, Yoni Levin. If you’ve been on our instagram this week you know it is Texas Monthly BBQ weekend. What does that mean? It means I just spent the last 3 days eating and hanging out with pitmasters from all over the world. What else does that mean? Well, if you saw our wild weekend on our social channels you’ve seen where we’ve been hanging out. You’ve seen who we’ve talked to and today we’ve got a great episode of pitmasters and enthusiasts from California to New York who love Texas BBQ. It takes endurance to be part of something as hectic as TM BBQ weekend. It’s not easy eating all that meat and driving to so many destinations that we went to over the last 4 days. I see it as a test, the test of a true meatman. The test of a true bbq enthusiast and the kind of man or woman who can handle being surrounded by meat and smoke. While being surrounded by smoke is nice, adding some smokey pit masters is an added bonus. I showed up to Snow’s this last Saturday expecting to see a few familiar faces and what was actually there amazed me. A crew of people that truly love BBQ and cook it often and well. We had a slew of cooks, owners and talking heads, so many in fact, that if I had had 10 mics it wouldn’t have been enough. In this episode we talk to Joey Victorian the king of tri-tip, Abe Delgado the cheerleader of all things bbq and a regular at Moo’s Craft BBQ who was also there so pay attention, the mics move around fast. After Andrew and Michelle Munoz of moos I had a Chat with Robert Jacob Lerma photographer extraordinaire, and Mallory Robbins of Evie Mae’s.  We talk about the struggles of cooking Central Texas BBQ in the pan handle and an email list that you’ll all want to get on for Evie Mae’s prime rib dinners. Mallory passes it to Arnis, does it sound like I’m doing a football play by play? Sorry. Arnis and Andrew have a chat before we get a quick word with Matt from Mill Scale. John Brotherton and Joey Victorian face off for a little smack talk and Clay pokes in to make jokes.   Before the episode ends we get some wise words of wisdom from Russell Roegels who has been dubbed the Commissioner of BBQ. I hope you enjoy this episode and all the great people that joined us to talk bbq. I’ve got to go wash my mics, they’re covered in grease. Enjoy!   Thank you again for listening and as always tag us in all of your meat posts and if you see people getting a little too friendly with their bbq, remind them #dontsqueezeyourmeat! Tag us in anything that's fit to see, meat, family, fun. Don't forget to use #meatman and keep spreading the love in the BBQ world!
