#105: Red Dirt Festival #1

May 07, 2019

This past weekend I went to what I would say is the best BBQ festival I've hung out at yet. The Red Dirt Festival. It's in the town square in Tyler, TX where they set up a stage but the music doesn't start until the barbecue is over. This is different from most because you can actually hear people and hang out when you eat their BBQ. For me, it was a dream! I usually have to filter out background music, equipment, generators, and more. This time we got to talk quietly as everyone managed their cooks.


We started out hanging with the Truth BBQ crew. Patrick Hernandez and Reid who were making sure their amazing briskets were staying warm on the pits of Arnis Robbins from Evie Mae's. Reid is known for having his celebrity friends like Houston's Paul Wall stop by their Heights location at Truth.


The meaty part of this episode is with Jordan and Cody while they cooked a whole hog on a custom pit made by A.N. Bewley manufacturing. Cody and Jordan spoke over 3 weeks about the design and Bewley built it just in time for the event. It's an impressive setup. It has a whole mechanism for flipping the hog, multiple openings and a simple way to make coals mounted on the back.


After this weekend I'm so excited about BBQ and the Texas barbecue scene I can't even sit still about it. I'm going all over the world this year to talk to people who eat, cook and love BBQ. I hope you're loving what I'm doing with the show and don't hesitate to tag me, DM me or reach out about whatever you're into.
