Looks like Chef’s Table BBQ just dropped on Netflix. Only four episodes. First episode is Tootsie Tomanetz. I remember, after a week of eating BBQ everyday, taking a bite of her pork ribs and saying, “this is the best pork rib I’ve ever tasted in my entire life.”
I’m only 10 minutes in to Tootsie’s episode and loving it. Never been to Snow’s, it seemed like such a weird thing to go early on a Saturday morning. Now, I realize I HAVE to go, and soon. She can’t have too many years left to keep going at her current rate.
Tootsie is a legend in Texas. I watched this a few days ago - just excellent all around. By the way, you can order from Snow’s online and have it delivered overnight. Getting some brisket, ribs, and smoked turkey delivered early next week!
I almost pulled the trigger a couple of weeks ago but am super skeptical that it won’t live up to my in person experience. How could it? Please let us know how it goes.
Stumbled upon this series and Lennox Hastie last night while eating a SRF Wagyu Tritip. I was dumbfounded and had chills. As soon as possible, I’m going to his restaurant. For a week.
Today, I’m already sourcing bowls to try the “coals underneath aromatics with proteins atop” dish seen on that episode.
I love bbq also and we were considering a bbq tour this summer before covid struck.
I’ll add that a trip to Rodney Scott’s is somewhere in my future. But the episode on Rosalia Chay Chuc and her conchinita pibil tacos gave me goosebumps. Traveling down to the Yucatán to eat her food would border on a religious experience. I could almost taste the food through the tv!
Rodney Scotts is absolutely worth the trip. especially now that its within Charleston city limits and not a hike outside of town (although, if you watched his episode, you know the reason for that is incredibly unfortunate).
but he’s doing it the right way and everything there is fantastic. a must stop if you are in the Carolinas or the low country.
Some early pics. Tootsie’s brisket is warming up in the oven. We had the ribs last night which were as good as any I’ve had. I’ll post more pics later.
