Chef’s Table BBQ

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.”

This. Is. Spectacular.

Tootsie episode is awesome. Lennox Hastie one made me long for fire. Just awesome.

Of course, I’m the guy that drove 3,300 miles for BBQ, but man, I’m watching this series multiple times.

I’d like to try that 203 day ribeye. :open_mouth:

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.

It is so not weird. It is so awesome. I do not regret dragging my family to Texas to eat gobs of BBQ.

Holy sh!t.

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.

Tim, this is our first time ordering, so equally curious. I’ll take pix and report back for sure.

Lennox is on a different level and I thought Frances Mallman was totally amazing (and he is). The caviar dish is OMG!

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!

Watched the first episode this morning. Fantastic and so very genuine. Loved every second of it.

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.

Yeah we went to Lewis when we were there in March and would’ve liked to have checked out Rodney Scott’s as well. Maybe next time.

Sidney is an awfully long way away and I hate air travel but 203 day dry aged…

Thanks for the heads-up, was fun to watch the first three episodes as I’m smoking some St Louis spare ribs today.

APL has some super long dry aged steak a lil closer.

Making a tri tip tonight; chefs table bbq made me ponder making a wood fire pit haha

LA huh? I’m not beautiful enough any longer.

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.
