[Phil] When I first
started pitching this show,

58
00:02:47,213 --> 00:02:50,508
I met with the head
of the Travel Channel, and he said,

59
00:02:50,592 --> 00:02:51,843
"We've done some research

60
00:02:51,926 --> 00:02:55,096
and we found that our audience
doesn't really like travel."

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,433
And on my way out the door,
he said, "By the way,

62
00:02:58,516 --> 00:03:02,562
the only food that we found
that people are interested in in America

63
00:03:02,645 --> 00:03:03,521
is barbecue."

00:03:04,814 --> 00:03:06,691
Okay. So we went to the Food Network,

65
00:03:06,774 --> 00:03:08,735

said to me,

00:03:08,818 --> 00:03:09,819

"We're kind of getting away
from the food thing."

00:03:12,864 --> 00:03:14,657
And on my way out the door, he said,

00:03:14,741 --> 00:03:17,202
"By the way, the only food
Americans are interested in--"

70
00:03:17,285 --> 00:03:19,162
I said, "Don't tell me. Barbecue."

71

are interested in barbecue,

and pickled jalapeños.

[laughs]

143
00:06:28,976 --> 00:06:31,396
[Phil] Correct me if I'm wrong,
but the new-school part

144
00:06:31,479 --> 00:06:33,689
of your new-school barbecue is

145
00:06:33,773 --> 00:06:36,192
a twist that you're putting
on old-school barbecue.

146
00:06:36,275 --> 00:06:39,529
Right. So the idea
is, uh, classic cooking methods.

147
00:06:39,612 --> 00:06:41,864
Right? Barbecue is a method, not a menu.

148
00:06:41,948 --> 00:06:45,201
We just bring
a little bit of a different flare

149
00:06:45,284 --> 00:06:46,911
to the traditional Texas barbecue menu.

150
00:06:46,994 --> 00:06:48,287

151
00:06:48,371 --> 00:06:51,040
-Try our beet barbecue sauce.
-What should I dip in that?

152
00:06:51,124 --> 00:06:54,794
So my favorite bite is
a piece of potato bread with beef cheek,

153
00:06:54,877 --> 00:06:56,254
a little bit of kimchi,

154
00:06:56,337 --> 00:06:59,215
and then a little smidge
of the beet barbecue sauce.

155
00:06:59,298 --> 00:07:00,967
-This is the bite, people.
-[Evan] Yeah.

156
00:07:01,050 --> 00:07:02,385
[Evan and Sawyer chuckle]

157
00:07:04,178 --> 00:07:05,304
-Well?
-That was a big bite.

158
00:07:05,388 --> 00:07:07,598
I got a cheek full of cheek. It's awesome!

159
00:07:08,349 --> 00:07:10,268
And I think what's
really unique about us too

160
00:07:10,351 --> 00:07:12,895
is we're really committed
to not having any waste.

161
00:07:12,979 --> 00:07:15,731
-You won't have any waste today.
-Yeah. That's our goal.

162
00:07:15,815 --> 00:07:17,608
-Ooh!
-A burger as well.

-Burger time.
-Oh my God.

00:07:20,236 --> 00:07:22,989
-Half-pound patty, smoked.
-You want to cut it?

165
00:07:23,072 --> 00:07:25,533
-First I want to show it off.
-[Evan] Pickles, onions.

166
00:07:25,616 --> 00:07:27,285

-[Phil] Wow.

[Daniel] I don't wanna oversell it,

170
00:07:32,957 --> 00:07:36,461
but it will change your entire worldview
about what a burger can be.

171
00:07:36,544 --> 00:07:37,670
Perfectly cooked.

172
00:07:38,254 --> 00:07:39,338
Oh, Richard.

173
00:07:39,422 --> 00:07:41,424
[Richard and Sawyer laugh]

174
00:07:44,343 --> 00:07:46,137
-[Sawyer] What's the verdict?
-Oh my God.

175
00:07:46,721 --> 00:07:47,972
[Daniel] It's got the bark too.

176
00:07:48,055 --> 00:07:51,058
-You know, from being in the smoker.
-Yes, it's got the-- it's got the…

177
00:07:52,226 --> 00:07:55,188
You know what? I actually remember
at one point, Daniel, you said,

178
00:07:55,271 --> 00:07:57,940
-"It's nostalgic of a backyard burger."
-What the hell…

179
00:07:58,024 --> 00:07:59,233
-[Sawyer] Right?
-That's right.

180
00:07:59,317 --> 00:08:02,111
Like eating something
you'd cook with friends in a backyard.

181
00:08:02,195 --> 00:08:04,864
-Yes, if I had talented friends!
-[Sawyer laughs] Yeah.

182
00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:07,492
-[Daniel] Mm.
-You know your stuff.

183
00:08:07,575 --> 00:08:08,409
[laughs]

184
00:08:08,493 --> 00:08:10,620
-I know where to find it.
-How do I pace myself?

185
00:08:10,703 --> 00:08:13,414
-We also have to-go boxes.
-[Richard] This is how you pace yourself.

186
00:08:13,498 --> 00:08:15,291
[all laughing]

187
00:08:18,169 --> 00:08:20,588
-[Phil] Goodbye, burger.
-[Sawyer laughs]

188
00:08:22,632 --> 00:08:23,591
[Phil] So, where are we?

189
00:08:23,674 --> 00:08:26,010
[Daniel] We've got
the Distant Relatives food truck here

190
00:08:26,093 --> 00:08:27,929
-and Meanwhile Brewing.
-Yeah. Yeah.

191
00:08:28,012 --> 00:08:29,472
So it's another food truck park

192
00:08:29,555 --> 00:08:32,600
that happens to be attached to a brewery,
which is nice, 'cause--

193
00:08:32,683 --> 00:08:33,518
We got this.

194
00:08:33,601 --> 00:08:34,560
Then we got beer.

195
00:08:35,061 --> 00:08:37,063
[mellow music playing]

196
00:08:37,730 --> 00:08:39,398
-Oh, that's nice.
-Mm-hmm.

197
00:08:39,482 --> 00:08:41,609
When we drove in,
it's like an industrial park,

198
00:08:41,692 --> 00:08:43,486
but then you have this paradise here.

199
00:08:43,569 --> 00:08:45,947
-[Daniel] Yeah, it's really hidden here.
-Nice for families.

200
00:08:46,447 --> 00:08:47,907
A lot of room in Texas.

201
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:49,742
[chuckles] Yes. Yes, there is.

202
00:08:51,786 --> 00:08:53,579
-Oh!
-Ooh, hey now.

203
00:08:53,663 --> 00:08:54,580
You must be Damien.

204
00:08:54,664 --> 00:08:56,582
-[Daniel] All right, hi.
-[Damien] I am.

205
00:08:56,666 --> 00:08:57,667
I'm Phil.

206
00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:59,418
This is Damien Brockway.

207
00:08:59,502 --> 00:09:02,797
He's an African-American chef
who's incorporated

208
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,259
some of the African influences
into the barbecue.

209
00:09:06,342 --> 00:09:07,677
[both] Good to see you.

210
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,054
Yeah, yeah. Get in here.
Tell us about what we got.

211
00:09:10,137 --> 00:09:12,265
[Damien] So over here, we have our sides.

212
00:09:12,348 --> 00:09:15,184
So black-eyed peas,
we have burnt ends of brisket here.

213
00:09:15,268 --> 00:09:17,144
Over here, we have the hot smoked peanuts.

214
00:09:17,228 --> 00:09:18,896
I need this in front of the TV.

215
00:09:18,980 --> 00:09:21,148
[Damien] Absolutely. Pickled golden beets.

216
00:09:21,691 --> 00:09:25,778
We have some tallow-roasted radishes
with a spicy buttermilk sauce over here.

217
00:09:25,861 --> 00:09:28,072
Wow. I'm doing the black-eyed peas.

218
00:09:28,155 --> 00:09:30,700
[Daniel] No, I've never had radishes
at a barbecue joint.

219
00:09:30,783 --> 00:09:31,701
Here we go.

220
00:09:31,784 --> 00:09:33,828
I've never had radishes
at a barbecue joint.

221
00:09:33,911 --> 00:09:36,706
-[Daniel] Oh wow.
-All right, I want to know your story.

222
00:09:36,789 --> 00:09:39,500
-I work in this trailer right over here.
-[all chuckle]

223
00:09:41,460 --> 00:09:42,712
[Phil] Where'd you get the name?

224
00:09:42,795 --> 00:09:46,173
So distant relatives is a common trope
in African American culture.

225
00:09:46,257 --> 00:09:48,384
Uh, it speaks to, you know,

226
00:09:48,467 --> 00:09:51,178
the connection with,
you know, the African continent.

227
00:09:51,262 --> 00:09:54,515
-Yes. Yes.
-And where we originated from as a people.

228
00:09:54,599 --> 00:09:57,143
So some of the spices
and ingredients that you're seeing here

229
00:09:57,226 --> 00:09:58,936
including, like, collard greens,

230
00:09:59,020 --> 00:10:01,439
uh, black-eyed peas,
spices like grains of paradise.

231
00:10:01,522 --> 00:10:04,483
-[Phil] Yeah.
-Those are ingredients that we deploy.

232
00:10:04,567 --> 00:10:06,777
So the modern
African-American part of that

233
00:10:06,861 --> 00:10:10,197
is-- is us being creative
within the story of our culture--

234
00:10:10,281 --> 00:10:13,576
But you're taking food and spices
from the motherland?

235
00:10:13,659 --> 00:10:17,079
Absolutely, as-- as well as traditions
here in the States

236
00:10:17,163 --> 00:10:18,873
from many different areas.

237
00:10:18,956 --> 00:10:22,627
Right. And then the sauce
is unlike the barbecue sauces you'd get

238
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:23,669
at most barbecue places.

239
00:10:23,753 --> 00:10:25,212
You're right. What's in there?

240
00:10:25,296 --> 00:10:27,548
One of the things
that we do at the trailer as well

241
00:10:27,632 --> 00:10:31,385
is that all the proteins
get paired with a specific sauce.

242
00:10:31,469 --> 00:10:34,430
[Phil] Even the sauces
are incredible and original.

243
00:10:34,513 --> 00:10:37,058
Smoked mustard butter.

244
00:10:37,141 --> 00:10:39,143
So this is chicken barbecue sauce.

245
00:10:39,226 --> 00:10:42,021
-Yeah, this is the chicken sauce, which…
-Wow, this…

246
00:10:42,647 --> 00:10:45,566
People like that one
and tend to ask for that one.

247
00:10:46,859 --> 00:10:49,654
This is some of my favorite
chicken and sauce ever.

248
00:10:49,737 --> 00:10:51,364
I am finishing this.

249
00:10:51,447 --> 00:10:54,075
I'm telling you,
that's what great barbecue will do to you.

250
00:10:54,158 --> 00:10:55,660
Like, you think you're not hungry--

251
00:10:55,743 --> 00:10:58,913
It finds a hole in your being
and fills it.

252
00:10:59,455 --> 00:11:00,873
[laughing] Yes.

253
00:11:01,540 --> 00:11:03,876
[Phil] There will be
more barbecue, I promise.

254
00:11:03,959 --> 00:11:05,628
But before we get to that,

255
00:11:05,711 --> 00:11:08,964
there's another important cuisine
in Austin we have to talk about.

256
00:11:09,632 --> 00:11:12,343
One of my favorite restaurants
in Austin, it's called Suerte.

257
00:11:12,426 --> 00:11:14,970
It's one of the best Mexican restaurants
I've ever been to,

258
00:11:15,054 --> 00:11:15,971
including in Mexico!

259
00:11:16,555 --> 00:11:17,390
Oh, hello.

260
00:11:17,473 --> 00:11:18,849
-[Emily] Hi!
-[gasps] Hi!

261
00:11:18,933 --> 00:11:21,185
-[Phil] Nice to see you.
-You too!

262
00:11:21,268 --> 00:11:23,813
[Phil] And today, I'm meeting
two of my best friends in Austin.

263
00:11:23,896 --> 00:11:25,981
This is Emily and Caitlin.

264
00:11:26,065 --> 00:11:28,526
They created
the Austin Television Festival

265
00:11:28,609 --> 00:11:30,194
and they still run it to this day.

266
00:11:30,277 --> 00:11:32,947
This is Chef Fermín Nuñez.

267
00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:35,491
-You guys look great.
-We got dressed up for you.

268
00:11:35,574 --> 00:11:38,244
I got dressed up for you.
I don't put this on for anybody.

269
00:11:38,327 --> 00:11:40,955
-I got dressed up for all of y'all.
-You look beautiful.

270
00:11:41,038 --> 00:11:42,790
-Cheers.
-[Phil and Fermin] <i>Salud.</i>

271
00:11:42,873 --> 00:11:43,708
There you go.

272
00:11:44,542 --> 00:11:46,544
[mellow music playing]

273
00:11:46,627 --> 00:11:49,213
-[Phil] Ooh!
-It's good. We have good taste.

274
00:11:49,296 --> 00:11:51,090
-What's in this?
-Mezcal.

275
00:11:51,173 --> 00:11:53,300
And then I stopped reading after Mezcal.

276
00:11:53,384 --> 00:11:56,178
-It's our version of a margarita.
-[Phil] Yeah.

277
00:11:56,262 --> 00:11:58,013
It's one of the things we do here.

278
00:11:58,097 --> 00:12:01,350
Like, we're a Mexican restaurant,
but we're in East Austin, right?

279
00:12:01,434 --> 00:12:04,145
-Suerte--
-But not technically Tex-Mex.

280
00:12:04,228 --> 00:12:05,896
No. No.

281
00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:08,524
-Not if you ask me.
-You're technically-- You're Mexican.

282
00:12:08,607 --> 00:12:10,276
I am, yes. And the restaurant.

283
00:12:10,359 --> 00:12:14,905
The food is Mexican,
but there is a Texas thing.

284
00:12:14,989 --> 00:12:15,948
A little bit. Yes.

285
00:12:16,031 --> 00:12:20,578
[Phil] At Suerte, he's doing Mexican food,
but he's putting his spin on it,

286
00:12:21,412 --> 00:12:22,997
and we're in Texas.

287
00:12:23,748 --> 00:12:25,416
Does that count as Tex-Mex?

288
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,335
I need-- I need a better expert than me.

289
00:12:29,086 --> 00:12:31,589
All right, so this is our ceviche.

290
00:12:31,672 --> 00:12:33,007
Underneath the tostada

291
00:12:33,090 --> 00:12:37,553
will be some freshly-cut rainbow trout
served in an Aleppo-puya orange broth.

292
00:12:38,095 --> 00:12:39,680
-Enjoy.
-[Emily] Nice. Thank you.

293
00:12:40,181 --> 00:12:42,558
I'm excited for you to try this
because this, to me,

294
00:12:42,641 --> 00:12:44,268
tastes very Texas right now.

295
00:12:44,351 --> 00:12:46,395
[rockabilly music playing]

296
00:12:47,897 --> 00:12:49,440
-[crunches]
-[Phil] Mm!

297
00:12:49,523 --> 00:12:51,859
[Emily] You're all like professionals
with your spoons.

298
00:12:51,942 --> 00:12:55,196
-[Caitlin] Make sure you get it all on.
-I know. A perfect bite.

299
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,157
By the way, I don't care what you call it,
Mexican, Tex-Mex, Austin-Mex…

300
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,950
It's just delicious food.

301
00:13:00,493 --> 00:13:02,244
So, you know how I know these two?

302
00:13:02,328 --> 00:13:06,248
You were a part
in their festival in past years?

303
00:13:06,332 --> 00:13:07,458
You guys are back now.

304
00:13:07,541 --> 00:13:09,251
We are back in person in June.

305
00:13:09,335 --> 00:13:11,879
Mm-hmm. Much of our festival
is about community and being together,

306
00:13:11,962 --> 00:13:14,924
and we've done
the virtual thing very "well,"

307
00:13:15,007 --> 00:13:18,969
but it's about the unplanned moments
of meeting new friends and--

308
00:13:19,053 --> 00:13:21,472
It's the magic that comes
when the people arrive

309
00:13:21,555 --> 00:13:23,265
is what makes something special.

310
00:13:23,349 --> 00:13:25,059
And they're excited to see the people

311
00:13:25,142 --> 00:13:27,269
-they've seen on screens.
-[Emily] Mm-hmm.

312
00:13:27,353 --> 00:13:28,562
-There you go.
-In person!

313
00:13:28,646 --> 00:13:31,065
It's also a very food
and drink-focused festival.

314
00:13:31,148 --> 00:13:34,652
And so, a lot of times on a Phil panel,
there will be tacos or breakfast.

315
00:13:34,735 --> 00:13:38,322
-"Have tacos or breakfast with Phil."
-Who wouldn't wanna have tacos with Phil?

316
00:13:38,405 --> 00:13:40,950
You gotta have a drink and a snack
while you watch TV.

317
00:13:41,033 --> 00:13:42,952
-You'll have to come.
-It's really fun.

318
00:13:44,578 --> 00:13:46,997
Pardon me. I have your <i>tamale mole blanco</i>.

319
00:13:47,081 --> 00:13:49,375
And I have
a pine nut gremolata underneath,

320
00:13:49,458 --> 00:13:51,085
topped and coated with the <i>mole blanco</i>

321
00:13:51,168 --> 00:13:53,504
and dehydrated <i>hoja santa</i>
sprinkled on top.

322
00:13:54,171 --> 00:13:56,298
-Dehydrated what?
<i>-Hoja santa.</i>

323
00:13:56,382 --> 00:13:57,925
-What's that?
-So <i>hoja santa</i>

324
00:13:58,008 --> 00:14:00,427
is-- translates to "holy leaf."

325
00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:05,224
It is the leaf that allegedly, uh,
was used to wrap sweet baby Jesus.

326
00:14:05,307 --> 00:14:06,809
-[laughs] Great.
-Really?

327
00:14:06,892 --> 00:14:08,519
-Yes.
-I appreciate the "allegedly."

328
00:14:08,602 --> 00:14:11,814
-I don't know the truth in that.
-So you're basically giving us a diaper.

329
00:14:11,897 --> 00:14:13,899
-[laughs]
-That's one way to put it.

330
00:14:14,441 --> 00:14:17,319
I like saying stuff like that
so that I get the first bite.

331
00:14:17,403 --> 00:14:18,737
-[Richard laughs]
-Nice.

332
00:14:18,821 --> 00:14:20,114
[Emily] Oh my gosh.

333
00:14:21,198 --> 00:14:22,074
Isn't that great?

334
00:14:22,575 --> 00:14:24,076
[mellow music playing]

335
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:27,663
Then we have the goat <i>barbacoa</i>.
It's going to be cooked <i>barbacoa</i>-style

336
00:14:27,746 --> 00:14:28,747
in a banana leaf.

337
00:14:29,582 --> 00:14:30,708
Do we put lime on it?

338
00:14:30,791 --> 00:14:33,002
[Fermin] It's like unwrapping
the best Christmas gift.

339
00:14:33,085 --> 00:14:34,336
[Phil] Who doesn't like that?

340
00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:36,672
-Everybody likes that, right?
-[Emily] Oh my gosh.

341
00:14:36,755 --> 00:14:39,174
I have had to have had goat before,
but not very often.

342
00:14:39,258 --> 00:14:41,176
Oh yeah? What do you think? I love it.

343
00:14:41,260 --> 00:14:43,888
I really like it and I'm trying
to figure out what's making it…

344
00:14:43,971 --> 00:14:47,391
People talk about duck or something
that has a very distinctive flavor.

345
00:14:47,474 --> 00:14:50,394
-It does have one.
-The most popular meat in the world.

346
00:14:50,477 --> 00:14:51,353
-Really?
-Yeah.

347
00:14:51,437 --> 00:14:53,397
-Not chicken?
-You know that. It's goat.

348
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,315
I didn't know that.

349
00:14:54,398 --> 00:14:57,067
Yeah, the most consumed in the world.
Every single culture.

350
00:14:57,151 --> 00:14:58,569
I'd have guessed chicken too.

351
00:14:58,652 --> 00:14:59,778
-What's that?
-[laughs]

352
00:14:59,862 --> 00:15:01,238
[Richard speaking indistinctly]

353
00:15:01,322 --> 00:15:04,450
-It's the fifth most-consumed animal?
-Uh-oh.

354
00:15:04,533 --> 00:15:07,077
So what I read said
it was the most consumed.

355
00:15:07,161 --> 00:15:08,537
What's that say?

356
00:15:08,621 --> 00:15:12,875
"Data doesn't support the claim that goat
is the world's most consumed meat, Phil."

357
00:15:12,958 --> 00:15:14,460
-[Emily laughs]
-So you lied to me.

358
00:15:14,543 --> 00:15:16,503
-I lied.
-What else have you lied about?

359
00:15:16,587 --> 00:15:19,673
-I was gonna repeat that.
-There are four? I was gonna repeat it.

360
00:15:19,757 --> 00:15:23,260
But I found that
if you say it convincingly, on television…

361
00:15:23,344 --> 00:15:24,386
It convinced you.

362
00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:25,804
…people believe you.

363
00:15:25,888 --> 00:15:28,015
-Phil! Phil!
-[Phil] Hi!

364
00:15:28,098 --> 00:15:30,893
-[Fermin] Hey!
-[man] Phil, we love you! Phil!

365
00:15:30,976 --> 00:15:32,436
Let me tell you about goat.

366
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:34,480
[all laughing]

367
00:15:38,025 --> 00:15:39,735
[Phil] Austin barbecue is so good

368
00:15:39,818 --> 00:15:43,197
it's almost impossible
not to have it for every meal.

369
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,324
It's kind of a problem, to be honest.

370
00:15:45,407 --> 00:15:48,869
Luckily, Daniel's back
with one more great place to show me.

371
00:15:49,453 --> 00:15:53,248
Daniel is now taking me
to another cutting-edge barbecue place

372
00:15:53,332 --> 00:15:54,583
called InterStellar,

373
00:15:54,667 --> 00:15:56,627
and the man has earned that hat.

374
00:15:57,127 --> 00:16:00,172
-How'd you get into barbecue?
-Moving to Texas. Yeah.

375
00:16:00,255 --> 00:16:01,465
It's like a, uh, requirement.

376
00:16:01,548 --> 00:16:04,718
Well, I went ahead and
did a subscription to <i>Texas Monthly</i>.

377
00:16:04,802 --> 00:16:06,887
They had a top-five at the time,

378
00:16:06,971 --> 00:16:11,058
and so I organized a long weekend trip
around being able to go to all those five.

379
00:16:11,141 --> 00:16:12,726
You have buddies who do this with you?

380
00:16:12,810 --> 00:16:15,521
Yeah, we really enjoyed the barbecue
that we were eating in Dallas.

381
00:16:15,604 --> 00:16:17,940
-Yeah.
-And like, "How much better could it be?"

382
00:16:18,023 --> 00:16:20,693
And then you go
and then you have the realization.

383
00:16:20,776 --> 00:16:22,486
We ate it looking at each other, like,

384
00:16:22,569 --> 00:16:24,822
"Oh, this is what
they've been talking about."

385
00:16:24,905 --> 00:16:26,865
-I love finding that next level.
-Yeah.

386
00:16:26,949 --> 00:16:28,617
-Yeah.
-It's the reason I do this.

387
00:16:28,701 --> 00:16:29,535
Hello!

388
00:16:29,618 --> 00:16:31,578
-Hello. You guys ready for some food?
-Hey, John.

389
00:16:31,662 --> 00:16:34,081
Oh, good, I was hoping for
a light breakfast this morning.

390
00:16:34,164 --> 00:16:36,125
-Absolutely.
-That's a typical Texas breakfast.

391
00:16:36,208 --> 00:16:39,962
[Phil] The chef is John Bates.
He comes from the world of fine dining.

392
00:16:40,045 --> 00:16:44,466
He has turned his attention
to making everyone happy.

393
00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:46,468
Look how beautiful that is!

394
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:49,304
-[giggles]
-[chuckles]

395
00:16:49,388 --> 00:16:51,015
Which I say before saying hello.

396
00:16:51,098 --> 00:16:52,391
-Great to see you.
-You as well.

397
00:16:52,474 --> 00:16:55,144
Hi, John! I've never been here.
We've never met.

398
00:16:55,227 --> 00:16:58,605
-I think we'll be good friends after this.
-I think so too.

399
00:16:58,689 --> 00:17:01,191
-What should I start with?
-I always start with brisket.

400
00:17:01,275 --> 00:17:02,735
I'd go with the burnt end.

401
00:17:02,818 --> 00:17:05,904
Then maybe work your way around
to some lamb and pork belly.

402
00:17:05,988 --> 00:17:07,948
-[Phil] Oh my God.
-Maybe finish with the turkey.

403
00:17:08,032 --> 00:17:09,950
It's kind of a vegetable
around here anyway, so…

404
00:17:10,034 --> 00:17:11,827
[laughs] Turkey is the vegetable.

405
00:17:11,910 --> 00:17:13,746
-[Daniel] All right.
-[Phil and Daniel] Cheers.

406
00:17:13,829 --> 00:17:15,664
[slow blues rock music playing]

407
00:17:15,748 --> 00:17:16,749
[Daniel] It's so intense.

408
00:17:16,832 --> 00:17:19,126
It's all the flavor.
It's the best bite on the brisket.

409
00:17:19,209 --> 00:17:21,003
-[Daniel] Mm-hmm.
-Right. That's gorgeous.

410
00:17:21,086 --> 00:17:23,756
[Daniel] Yeah. And I like to split
the fatty slices in half.

411
00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:25,090
-Like this.
-[Phil] Yes.

412
00:17:25,174 --> 00:17:27,801
Because that's just another piece of lean.
But that…

413
00:17:28,385 --> 00:17:30,304
-Split? Do you wanna split it with me?
-Oh yeah.

414
00:17:31,388 --> 00:17:32,389
[Richard laughs]

415
00:17:34,433 --> 00:17:38,228
And then he brings out the lean brisket,
and then the fatty brisket with the fat,

416
00:17:38,312 --> 00:17:39,146
and you eat the…

417
00:17:39,229 --> 00:17:40,064
[pants]

418
00:17:41,065 --> 00:17:43,817
[Richard laughs]

419
00:17:43,901 --> 00:17:47,654
I'm just pushing it against
the roof of my mouth with my tongue,

420
00:17:47,738 --> 00:17:49,448
and it falls apart.

421
00:17:49,531 --> 00:17:53,660
[Daniel] That's when you know that
the-- the fat is at its perfect doneness.

422
00:17:53,744 --> 00:17:55,412
[Phil] Even though the field is crowded,

423
00:17:55,496 --> 00:17:58,624
you felt you had something
a little different that you could…

424
00:17:58,707 --> 00:18:00,793
[John] Yeah, just bring
a different point of view

425
00:18:00,876 --> 00:18:03,253
to something that's, you know,
a very traditional food

426
00:18:03,337 --> 00:18:04,755
and add our little touches around it

427
00:18:04,838 --> 00:18:06,965
but honor, you know,
the center of the plate,

428
00:18:07,049 --> 00:18:08,801
-the bones of Texas barbecue.
-Yes.

429
00:18:08,884 --> 00:18:11,887
And then do our own little flourishes,
like the scalloped potatoes.

430
00:18:11,970 --> 00:18:13,931
This is fine dining.

431
00:18:14,014 --> 00:18:17,184
You could put that on the side of a plate
in any fine dining restaurant.

432
00:18:17,267 --> 00:18:18,685
It's everything a potato wants.

433
00:18:18,769 --> 00:18:20,229
It's cream, it's butter,

434
00:18:20,312 --> 00:18:22,481
-it's Parmesan, it's garlic.
-[Phil and Richard laughing]

435
00:18:22,564 --> 00:18:24,108
And then a little smoke.

436
00:18:24,191 --> 00:18:28,237
It just so happens that my wants
are the same as your potato.

437
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,780
[Daniel and Richard laugh]

438
00:18:29,863 --> 00:18:31,782
[sensual blues guitar music playing]

439
00:18:31,865 --> 00:18:33,158
[Phil] All right, the big finale.

440
00:18:33,242 --> 00:18:34,660
-You ready?
-I'm-- I'm ready.

441
00:18:34,743 --> 00:18:36,078
-That's yours.
-Okay.

442
00:18:36,161 --> 00:18:37,871
[Phil] Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy.

443
00:18:37,955 --> 00:18:40,958
So tell me about this
before I shove it in my face.

444
00:18:41,041 --> 00:18:44,419
[John] Pork belly that's been smoked,
cubed, and then glazed numerous times

445
00:18:44,503 --> 00:18:46,296
with a peach tea glaze.

446
00:18:46,380 --> 00:18:48,340
Salty, sweet, smoky, fatty.

447
00:18:48,423 --> 00:18:50,425
Everything you want in a bite of barbecue.

448
00:18:50,509 --> 00:18:51,593
[laughs happily]

449
00:18:52,219 --> 00:18:53,846
Mm! All righty.

450
00:18:55,973 --> 00:18:56,974
Oh, doctor!

451
00:18:58,267 --> 00:18:59,893
I'm glad we saved it for the end.

452
00:18:59,977 --> 00:19:03,105
Not only is it… friggin' delicious,

453
00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:04,523
it's like the-- a dessert.

454
00:19:05,315 --> 00:19:06,900
Is there a doctor in the house?

455
00:19:08,443 --> 00:19:09,570
[music ends]

456
00:19:09,653 --> 00:19:11,530
[laughing] That's the Austin slogan.

457
00:19:11,613 --> 00:19:12,781
[chuckles]

458
00:19:13,282 --> 00:19:14,408
[jaunty music playing]

459
00:19:14,491 --> 00:19:16,994
Located in the Hill Country
of Central Texas,

460
00:19:17,077 --> 00:19:20,038
Austin is the capital
and fourth-largest city in the state.

461
00:19:20,122 --> 00:19:24,501
Their majestic Capitol building
was built between 1882 and 1888,

462
00:19:24,585 --> 00:19:27,671
and it's actually taller
than the US Capitol in Washington.

463
00:19:28,463 --> 00:19:31,341
"Bigger in Texas," people.
It's not just a bumper sticker.

464
00:19:32,050 --> 00:19:33,594
[music ends]

465
00:19:33,677 --> 00:19:38,473
The lead food critic
at <i>The Austin American-Statesman</i> newspaper

466
00:19:38,557 --> 00:19:42,269
is Matthew Odom,
a friend of mine for at least 10 years,

467
00:19:42,352 --> 00:19:45,939
and he's taking me
to his new favorite place.

468
00:19:46,023 --> 00:19:47,149
This is Birdie's.

469
00:19:47,232 --> 00:19:48,859
[dramatic music playing]

470
00:19:48,942 --> 00:19:51,820
Tracy Malechek and Arjav Ezekiel.

471
00:19:51,904 --> 00:19:55,157
They're the chef-owners.
She does the food, he does the wine.

472
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,285
They came from New York.
They both worked at Gramercy Tavern.

473
00:19:58,368 --> 00:20:02,372
They're doing beautiful pastas
and delicious vegetables.

474
00:20:02,998 --> 00:20:05,375
You know,
it can't all be barbecue, people.

475
00:20:05,459 --> 00:20:06,960
[Arjav] We got some bubbles to start.

476
00:20:07,044 --> 00:20:09,213
-It's a celebratory occasion. Old friends.
-[Phil] Nice.

477
00:20:09,296 --> 00:20:12,591
-You joining us? Now it's celebratory.
-I hope so. I'll pour myself some.

478
00:20:12,674 --> 00:20:15,427
-Do it.
-It's 100% Pinot noir. Light and sparkly.

479
00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:17,429
And they bathe the cows in this.

480
00:20:17,512 --> 00:20:19,014
-[laughs]
-[Arjav] Why not?

481
00:20:19,097 --> 00:20:20,891
-[laughing] Moo.
-[Richard] Nice.

482
00:20:21,433 --> 00:20:23,393
-Hello!
-Hi. Tracy!

483
00:20:23,477 --> 00:20:25,354
-How are you?
-I'm thrilled to be here.

484
00:20:25,437 --> 00:20:26,396
What do you got here?

485
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,357
-[Tracy] Chickpea panisse.
-[Phil] Ah!

486
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,609
With pecorino and black pepper.

487
00:20:30,692 --> 00:20:31,860
Beautiful.

488
00:20:31,944 --> 00:20:34,988
-[Arjav] Like you've done this before.
-[Phil] I see a lemon on the side.

489
00:20:35,072 --> 00:20:36,573
I feel like I have a purpose.

490
00:20:36,657 --> 00:20:37,532
[both laugh]

491
00:20:38,659 --> 00:20:41,578
-Mm. So gourmet French fries.
-[Arjav laughs] Yeah!

492
00:20:41,662 --> 00:20:44,122
And I've eaten this thing
probably five times.

493
00:20:44,206 --> 00:20:47,626
-And this is how it is every single time.
-Never under--

494
00:20:47,709 --> 00:20:49,753
I mean, too much lemon on it this time,
but that's…

495
00:20:49,836 --> 00:20:51,421
[Richard and Matthew laugh]

496
00:20:52,923 --> 00:20:56,051
Oh! So, you know my family
is in Portland, Oregon.

497
00:20:56,134 --> 00:20:58,011
-Right.
-Tracy grew up in Houston.

498
00:20:58,095 --> 00:20:59,179
I wanted to go home.

499
00:20:59,263 --> 00:21:01,390
Tracy wanted to move to Texas.

500
00:21:02,015 --> 00:21:04,268
We couldn't decide,
so we flipped a coin, she won.

501
00:21:04,351 --> 00:21:05,978
-You're here because of that.
-Yeah!

502
00:21:06,561 --> 00:21:08,272
Yeah, I would not abide by that.

503
00:21:08,855 --> 00:21:10,899
-[laughs]
-I lost the coin flip, so I know.

504
00:21:10,983 --> 00:21:12,693
-I would rig the coin.
-[Matthew laughs]

505
00:21:13,986 --> 00:21:14,987
-Hi again.
-Hello!

506
00:21:15,070 --> 00:21:17,447
Oh, that's-- Ooh, that looks like tartare.

507
00:21:17,531 --> 00:21:21,118
Beef tartare with green garlic aioli
and <i>carta di musica</i> cracker.

508
00:21:21,201 --> 00:21:24,162
And here's a roasted sweet potato
with guanciale,

509
00:21:24,663 --> 00:21:28,333
celery-radish vinaigrette,
and a sherry-black pepper honey.

510
00:21:28,417 --> 00:21:30,877
So they really geek out
on olive oil here too.

511
00:21:30,961 --> 00:21:31,795
We're nerds.

512
00:21:31,878 --> 00:21:34,047
[Phil] I love it.
You're my favorite kind of nerds.

513
00:21:34,131 --> 00:21:35,340
Food nerds.

514
00:21:35,424 --> 00:21:36,300
It's a fun tartare.

515
00:21:36,383 --> 00:21:39,177
To be that rich and that light
at the same time.

516
00:21:39,261 --> 00:21:41,096
It's what we all aspire to.

517
00:21:41,179 --> 00:21:42,347
[both laugh]

518
00:21:42,431 --> 00:21:43,473
[gentle music playing]

519
00:21:43,557 --> 00:21:45,809
-[Matthew] It's kind of magical.
-[Phil] It's great!

520
00:21:45,892 --> 00:21:47,436
-[Matthew] You cook much?
-No!

521
00:21:48,687 --> 00:21:49,521
I eat much.

522
00:21:49,604 --> 00:21:52,107
"It's why I have this show,
so I don't have to cook much."

523
00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:53,275
-Hello!
-[Matthew] Hey!

524
00:21:53,358 --> 00:21:54,776
-Hi.
-Yay, Tracy!

525
00:21:54,860 --> 00:21:55,694
Look at this.

526
00:21:55,777 --> 00:21:56,987
[Stacy] So here's orecchiette

527
00:21:57,070 --> 00:21:59,156
with pork sausage,
fennel, and black pepper.

528
00:21:59,239 --> 00:22:00,240
Nope.

529
00:22:00,324 --> 00:22:01,325
[all laughing]

530
00:22:01,408 --> 00:22:02,492
Oh!

531
00:22:02,576 --> 00:22:04,286
And here is cavatelli

532
00:22:04,369 --> 00:22:06,747
-with anchovy and tomato.
-[Phil groans happily]

533
00:22:07,331 --> 00:22:09,124
-You like anchovy?
-I love.

534
00:22:09,207 --> 00:22:10,375
[Matthew laughing]

535
00:22:10,459 --> 00:22:11,918
These are gifts. Thank you.

536
00:22:12,002 --> 00:22:13,045
You're so welcome.

537
00:22:13,712 --> 00:22:15,172
[classical music playing]

538
00:22:15,255 --> 00:22:18,008
This tastes real.
This tastes like I'm in Rome.

539
00:22:18,091 --> 00:22:19,176
There you go.

540
00:22:20,302 --> 00:22:21,136
Wait a minute.

541
00:22:21,219 --> 00:22:22,220
[music swelling]

542
00:22:22,304 --> 00:22:23,138
Wait a minute.

543
00:22:24,014 --> 00:22:25,098
Yes! I know!

544
00:22:25,182 --> 00:22:26,058
[laughs]

545
00:22:26,141 --> 00:22:27,434
That was my review.

546
00:22:27,517 --> 00:22:28,560

-Hello again.
-Hello.

549
00:22:33,732 --> 00:22:36,360
Here's a Sicilian-inspired
chocolate chip cookie.

550
00:22:36,443 --> 00:22:37,277
Spit take!

551
00:22:37,361 --> 00:22:39,488
[all laughing]

552
00:22:39,571 --> 00:22:41,740
And then this is our olive oil cake.

553
00:22:41,823 --> 00:22:42,949
[gasps]

554
00:22:43,033 --> 00:22:45,827
-[Tracy] Thank you, Arjav.
-[Matthew laughing]

555
00:22:45,911 --> 00:22:46,745
Breathe, my man.

556
00:22:46,828 --> 00:22:49,289
How is a chocolate chip cookie
inspired by Sicily?

557
00:22:49,373 --> 00:22:51,208
It has a little bit of extract of…

558
00:22:51,291 --> 00:22:52,125
[gasps loudly]

559
00:22:52,209 --> 00:22:54,252
-[laughing]
-…citrus and fennel.

560
00:22:54,336 --> 00:22:55,754
And then the final thing

561
00:22:55,837 --> 00:22:58,173
is a vanilla gelato soft serve

562
00:22:58,256 --> 00:23:01,176
-with tangerine agrumato.
-[Matthew] What do you think about that?

563
00:23:03,261 --> 00:23:04,763
-You've had this?
-Oh yeah.

564
00:23:05,555 --> 00:23:07,307
Then you won't mind if I eat it all.

565
00:23:07,391 --> 00:23:08,517
[all laughing]

566
00:23:10,227 --> 00:23:11,061

-[birds chirping]
-[sweeping music building]

568
00:23:14,189 --> 00:23:15,649
[Phil] Do you like Formula 1?

569
00:23:16,733 --> 00:23:19,152
I know there's a lot
of enthusiasts out there.

570
00:23:19,236 --> 00:23:22,155
Today, I'm getting
my first glimpse of it up-close.

571
00:23:22,864 --> 00:23:24,116
[music intensifies]

572
00:23:32,916 --> 00:23:34,459
-Eric?
-Phil.

573
00:23:34,543 --> 00:23:36,378
-Hi.
-Good to see you.

574
00:23:36,461 --> 00:23:38,046
I'm excited to take you out there.

575
00:23:38,130 --> 00:23:39,256
Oh my goodness.

576
00:23:39,339 --> 00:23:41,258
I-- I have to admit, I'm a little nervous.

577
00:23:41,341 --> 00:23:44,344
I know I look it,
but I'm not really Paul Newman.

578
00:23:44,428 --> 00:23:46,179
This is a real race car driver.

579
00:23:46,263 --> 00:23:47,889
This is Eric Paradis.

580
00:23:47,973 --> 00:23:51,768
He's taking me
on my first ride around a Formula 1 track

581
00:23:51,852 --> 00:23:53,061
in a Ferrari.

582
00:23:53,145 --> 00:23:54,521
He says we're going to go…

583
00:23:54,604 --> 00:23:57,858
-[car engines vrooming]
-…over 170 miles an hour,

584
00:23:57,941 --> 00:24:01,111
which I think is actually slow
for these guys.

585
00:24:01,194 --> 00:24:04,531
But, uh, I guess I'm ready.
Let's try it. What could happen?

586
00:24:04,614 --> 00:24:05,991
[Richard laughing]

587
00:24:08,910 --> 00:24:11,288
[Eric] We have our own
roller coaster ride out there,

588
00:24:11,371 --> 00:24:12,581
so it's gonna be a lot of fun.

589
00:24:12,664 --> 00:24:14,583
All right, I might need
your help with this part.

590
00:24:14,666 --> 00:24:16,501
Run it through, underneath…

591
00:24:16,585 --> 00:24:19,421
This is what my dad used to do
before I'd ride the tricycle.

592
00:24:19,504 --> 00:24:21,298
Here you go. Ready to go.

593
00:24:21,923 --> 00:24:23,925

[intriguing music playing]

595
00:24:29,556 --> 00:24:31,308
Have you been on track before?

596
00:24:31,391 --> 00:24:32,642
-No!
-No?

597
00:24:32,726 --> 00:24:33,727
[Phil] No.

598
00:24:33,810 --> 00:24:36,688
-Have you driven someone around the track?
-This is my first day.

599
00:24:36,771 --> 00:24:38,356
-[engine revving]
-Just kidding.

600
00:24:38,940 --> 00:24:41,568
-It's a lot of fun.
-Has anyone ever thrown up in the car?

601
00:24:42,068 --> 00:24:43,361
Uh, not with me.

602
00:24:43,445 --> 00:24:45,280
-I think.
-You might get lucky today.

603
00:24:45,906 --> 00:24:47,616
Am I supposed to hang on to anything?

604
00:24:47,699 --> 00:24:51,077
Uh, no, but you'll see on the braking,
it's going to brake quite hard.

605
00:24:51,161 --> 00:24:54,206
So you want to use your-- your lap
to push yourself against the seat.

606
00:24:54,289 --> 00:24:56,708
-Oh, really?
-Yes. There's a lot of Gs on the braking.

607
00:24:56,791 --> 00:24:59,544
Oh boy. All right,
I'm hanging onto the side thing here

608
00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:00,795
and my leg.

609
00:25:00,879 --> 00:25:03,673
Yeah, you're gonna use your leg
to brace yourself.

610
00:25:03,757 --> 00:25:05,634
-I might use your leg. Okay.
-[engine revs]

611
00:25:05,717 --> 00:25:08,261
-Are you ready for this?
-I don't even speed on the freeway.

612
00:25:08,345 --> 00:25:10,597
-All right, let's go.
-[tires squealing]

613

Oh boy…

614
00:25:14,059 --> 00:25:16,561
-Oh my God.
-You can see the speed right on there.

615
00:25:16,645 --> 00:25:17,562
I don't want to see it.

[Richard laughs]

620
00:25:36,248 --> 00:25:37,832
It was so violent.

621
00:25:37,916 --> 00:25:42,837
It was… not just the G forces
that are more than a rocket,

622
00:25:43,672 --> 00:25:45,549
-but then sudden braking…
-[tires skidding]

623
00:25:45,632 --> 00:25:48,760
-…screeching, whip turning, going again…
-[tires screeching]

624
00:25:49,511 --> 00:25:52,305
…G-forces back, slamming the brakes…
-[Richard laughs]

625
00:25:52,389 --> 00:25:55,058
…turning this way,
slamming the brakes, turning that way.

00:25:55,642 --> 00:25:57,519
Up a hill! Down a hill!

627
00:25:58,853 --> 00:26:02,107
It was like being
in multiple car accidents.

How is this fun?

631
00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:08,154
And look at Eric.

It's almost as good
as a brisket sandwich, isn't it?

636
00:26:17,163 --> 00:26:18,999
You shouldn't remind me
about food right now.

[Phil] Oh, I'm here!

-[all] Yay!
-[Edgar] Welcome!

641
00:26:30,719 --> 00:26:32,679
-How are you?
-Hey, I'm Phil.

642
00:26:32,762 --> 00:26:36,182
-Welcome to the Taco Dojo. Edgar.
-This is the Taco Mafia. Yes!

643
00:26:36,266 --> 00:26:37,475
-Yes, sir.
-[Phil] Yes!

644
00:26:37,559 --> 00:26:40,895
There's such a great taco scene
here in Austin

645
00:26:40,979 --> 00:26:45,942
that a few of the people
who are taco geniuses

646
00:26:46,026 --> 00:26:48,737
have formed what's called the Taco Mafia.

647
00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:51,531
It's run by Edgar and Sara

648
00:26:51,615 --> 00:26:53,825
here at their place, Nixta Taqueria.

649
00:26:53,908 --> 00:26:55,535
The rest of these wise guys are

650
00:26:55,619 --> 00:26:58,246
Beto Robledo from Cuantos Tacos,

651
00:26:58,330 --> 00:27:00,457

and Xose Velasco from Discada.

653
00:27:03,043 --> 00:27:05,086
Two of you are getting married.

654
00:27:05,712 --> 00:27:07,047
-That would be--
-Just kidding.

655
00:27:07,130 --> 00:27:09,132
-[all laugh]
-That would be us. Recently engaged.

656
00:27:09,215 --> 00:27:10,925
-Congratulations.
-Thank you so much.

657
00:27:11,009 --> 00:27:12,761
And this is your place. This is Nixta!

658
00:27:12,844 --> 00:27:14,429
This is Nixta Taqueria.

659
00:27:14,512 --> 00:27:17,015
Best restaurant in Austin,
according to many.

660
00:27:17,098 --> 00:27:20,101
That's what they say.
Uh, that's for you to decide, though.

661
00:27:20,185 --> 00:27:22,520
But these guys
all make great tacos too, right?

662
00:27:22,604 --> 00:27:24,105
-[Sara] Yes.
-The Taco Mafia.

663
00:27:24,189 --> 00:27:26,232
But let me ask you. Who's the godfather?

664
00:27:26,816 --> 00:27:27,734
This guy right here.

665
00:27:27,817 --> 00:27:30,278
-[Phil] Is that right? You started it?
-No, no--

666
00:27:30,362 --> 00:27:32,489
-'Cause you're the tallest?
-Look at this guy.

667
00:27:32,572 --> 00:27:35,116
If you saw this guy in an alley,
would you be scared?

668
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,494
-He looks like a gentle giant.
-He really is.

669
00:27:37,577 --> 00:27:39,871
-Not like this one. He looks very tough.
-[all laugh]

670
00:27:39,954 --> 00:27:41,581
-Jerry's the muscle.
-The silent killer.

671
00:27:41,665 --> 00:27:42,999
-He's the muscle?
-Yeah.

672
00:27:43,083 --> 00:27:45,418
-We got the Joe Pesci.
-[Edgar] The Joe Pesci right here.

673
00:27:45,502 --> 00:27:47,045
He's got the looks, the talks.

674
00:27:47,128 --> 00:27:48,797
And what's your role?
Keep them all in line?

675
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,342
Yeah, she's-- she's the brains
of the operation.

676
00:27:52,425 --> 00:27:53,468
[Phil] And the beauty.

677
00:27:53,551 --> 00:27:54,844
<i>-Salucita!</i>
-[Jerry] <i>Salucita!</i>

678
00:27:54,928 --> 00:27:55,929
[Phil] What am I drinking?

679
00:27:56,012 --> 00:27:57,347
A little agua fresca

680
00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:59,766
with some pineapple and strawberry.

681
00:27:59,849 --> 00:28:01,601
-Oh, that's delicious.
-[Sara] Yeah.

682
00:28:02,769 --> 00:28:04,938
All right, we'll get you started
with this first bite.

683
00:28:05,021 --> 00:28:06,481
This one's gonna be from us.

684
00:28:06,564 --> 00:28:09,192
-This is our duck carnitas taco.
-[Phil] What?

685
00:28:09,275 --> 00:28:10,610
[Edgar] Duck carnitas.

686
00:28:10,694 --> 00:28:12,237
-Yes, sir.
-Come on. Here I go.

687
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,154
[Sara] Yeah!

688
00:28:13,238 --> 00:28:14,906
Oh my God.

689
00:28:14,989 --> 00:28:17,909
Like, one of the best
duck dishes of any kind

690
00:28:17,992 --> 00:28:20,870
just happens to be in a gorgeous taco.

691
00:28:20,954 --> 00:28:22,330
How much Tex

692
00:28:23,331 --> 00:28:24,457
is in the Mex?

693
00:28:25,041 --> 00:28:29,546
Tex Mex for all of us is a thing
that we kind of try and stay away from.

694
00:28:29,629 --> 00:28:31,923
-That word--
-It's an Americanization, right?

695
00:28:32,006 --> 00:28:34,217
-It really is.
-And you wanna be authentic.

696
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:36,052
Authentically inauthentic.

697
00:28:36,136 --> 00:28:41,057
All of us are Americans, you know?
But we're also Mexicans.

698
00:28:41,141 --> 00:28:43,810
-[Phil] Of course.
-So we're trying to pay homage.

699
00:28:43,893 --> 00:28:46,020
[Phil] Here we go. Now tell me about this.

700
00:28:46,104 --> 00:28:47,814
So those are the <i>discada</i> tacos.

701
00:28:47,897 --> 00:28:50,358
Different cuts of beef,
pork, and vegetables.

702
00:28:50,442 --> 00:28:51,317
-[Phil] Oh!
-So, yeah.

703
00:28:51,401 --> 00:28:53,695
And we let it confit
for about four to six hours.

704
00:28:53,778 --> 00:28:55,071
-Really?
-Uh-huh.

705
00:28:55,155 --> 00:28:57,532
This is a recipe
that my dad made about 20 years ago.

706
00:28:57,615 --> 00:28:58,616
This is phenomenal.

707
00:28:58,700 --> 00:28:59,868
-Thank you.
-Yeah.

708
00:28:59,951 --> 00:29:01,369
But for people watching,

709
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,372
they can't come here
and get everybody's tacos.

710
00:29:04,456 --> 00:29:07,459
They can.
We are all within a mile and a half.

711
00:29:07,542 --> 00:29:09,669
-Is that right? So this is a good crawl.
-Yeah.

712
00:29:10,879 --> 00:29:11,796
[Phil] Who's this?

713
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,257
-[Edgar] This is Jerry's.
-Oh! You're on.

714
00:29:14,340 --> 00:29:15,842
-This is my specialty.
-Yeah!

715
00:29:15,925 --> 00:29:18,136
This is the birria quesotaco.

716
00:29:18,636 --> 00:29:20,722
A birria taco! Oh, come on.

717
00:29:20,805 --> 00:29:22,640
Traditionally, you use goat or lamb.

718
00:29:22,724 --> 00:29:25,393
-We use brisket 'cause we're in Texas.
-[Phil] Brisket?!

719
00:29:25,477 --> 00:29:28,396
Look at this birria taco
with the queso crispy,

720
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,898
and then you dunk it in the…

721
00:29:29,981 --> 00:29:31,191
[sputters, giggles]

722
00:29:32,066 --> 00:29:32,901
Oh man.

723
00:29:33,610 --> 00:29:34,903
Another "amazing."

724
00:29:37,071 --> 00:29:39,908
Finally, Beto the godfather kills me with…

725
00:29:39,991 --> 00:29:42,327
[imitates Vito Corleone]
…an offer I can't refuse.

726
00:29:42,410 --> 00:29:44,788
-You're the big finish.
-I do Mexico City-style tacos.

727
00:29:44,871 --> 00:29:46,414
So, this is the <i>campechana,</i>

728
00:29:46,498 --> 00:29:48,958
and it's a mixture
of <i>suadero</i> and <i>longaniza</i>.

729
00:29:49,042 --> 00:29:50,919
<i>Suadero</i>, we use brisket for our cut

730
00:29:51,002 --> 00:29:53,171
and then <i>longaniza</i>,
we use Mexican chorizo.

731
00:29:54,088 --> 00:29:55,465
[mouth full] Another great one!

732
00:29:57,383 --> 00:29:59,427
If there were a taco that represented you,

733
00:29:59,511 --> 00:30:01,638
what would that look like?
What would be in your taco?

734
00:30:01,721 --> 00:30:03,473
Nobody's-- Nobody's ever asked me that.

735
00:30:03,556 --> 00:30:04,432
[Edgar chuckles]

736
00:30:04,516 --> 00:30:05,892
I'm gonna say chicken.

737
00:30:06,392 --> 00:30:09,771
-Okay.
-But better than chicken is duck.

738
00:30:10,355 --> 00:30:12,816
And better than duck is goose.

739
00:30:12,899 --> 00:30:14,818
-[Edgar and Sara] Ooh!
-[Sara] Goose taco!

740
00:30:14,901 --> 00:30:16,361
You think you could do it?

741
00:30:17,111 --> 00:30:20,657
The challenge! I'm coming back
when you have goose tacos.

742
00:30:20,740 --> 00:30:21,825
-Okay.
-That's my taco.

743
00:30:21,908 --> 00:30:23,159
Okay, goose taco.

744
00:30:23,243 --> 00:30:25,119
-I'm in the Mafia!
-[all laughing]

745
00:30:25,203 --> 00:30:28,164
-Do we have to cut my hand and shake?
-Yes! Let's do it.

746
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:32,627
[jaunty piano music playing]

747
00:30:59,529 --> 00:31:01,698
[talking indistinctly]

748
00:31:02,282 --> 00:31:04,033
[music continues]

749
00:31:14,419 --> 00:31:16,462
[music ends]

750
00:31:16,546 --> 00:31:18,923
-[mellow music playing]
-[birds tweeting]

751
00:31:19,007 --> 00:31:22,260
My new friend Evan LeRoy
from LeRoy and Lewis

752
00:31:22,343 --> 00:31:25,054
is introducing me
to his friend Jazz Mills.

753
00:31:25,138 --> 00:31:26,514
I love free lunch.

754
00:31:26,598 --> 00:31:30,059
Jazz, along with her friend
Carrie Fussell Bickley,

755
00:31:30,143 --> 00:31:32,896
started something wonderful
called Free Lunch

756
00:31:32,979 --> 00:31:34,856
to help feed Austin's homeless.

757
00:31:34,939 --> 00:31:36,983
-[Carrie] Hi!
-Who's this charmer?

758
00:31:37,066 --> 00:31:39,360
-I'm Carrie.
-And this charmer! Hi.

759
00:31:39,444 --> 00:31:40,612
-How's it going?
-I'm Phil.

760
00:31:40,695 --> 00:31:42,363
-I'm Carrie.
-Hi. How you doing?

761
00:31:42,447 --> 00:31:43,990
Hi. I'm Nnedi. Nice to meet--

762
00:31:44,657 --> 00:31:48,077
[Phil] Jazz, Carrie, and friend
Nnedi Agbaroji were all performers

763
00:31:48,161 --> 00:31:50,663
in Austin's thriving indie music scene.

764
00:31:50,747 --> 00:31:53,291
But when COVID canceled live performances,

765
00:31:53,374 --> 00:31:56,127
Jazz and Carrie began cooking food
and giving it out,

766
00:31:56,210 --> 00:31:58,880
first separately, and then joining forces

767
00:31:58,963 --> 00:32:01,966
to help feed people
living in a local homeless encampment

768
00:32:02,050 --> 00:32:03,676
called Camp Esperanza.

769
00:32:04,260 --> 00:32:06,429
Nnedi joined the cause in 2021.

770
00:32:06,512 --> 00:32:08,181
So what's in the lunch bag today?

771
00:32:08,264 --> 00:32:11,935
Okay, tonight with dinner,
we're dropping off barbecue sandwiches.

772
00:32:12,018 --> 00:32:13,645
-[Phil] Yep.
-Always fresh fruit.

773
00:32:13,728 --> 00:32:17,732
Fresh fruit is by far
the most requested and sought-after thing.

774
00:32:17,815 --> 00:32:19,192
The most important thing

775
00:32:19,275 --> 00:32:22,987
when you're providing any service
to anyone in need is to be consistent.

776
00:32:23,071 --> 00:32:27,492
So when we found out about Camp Esperanza,

777
00:32:27,575 --> 00:32:31,454
we, basically, just from that point on,
committed to going to only that camp…

778
00:32:31,537 --> 00:32:35,583
-[gentle guitar music playing]
-…so that the people there would trust us

779
00:32:35,667 --> 00:32:37,502
and believe that we would be coming back.

780
00:32:37,585 --> 00:32:39,087
-Hi.
-Good to see you.

781
00:32:39,170 --> 00:32:40,546
Good to see you too.

782
00:32:41,089 --> 00:32:44,217
[Jazz] I really wanted
to make sure we didn't over-promise,

783
00:32:44,300 --> 00:32:50,056
and that we didn't try to take on
the homelessness crisis in Austin,

784
00:32:50,139 --> 00:32:53,893
that we were really just committed
to this group of people,

785
00:32:53,977 --> 00:32:57,855
and then when we can, like,
realistically expand, we will.

786
00:32:57,939 --> 00:32:59,774
You guys are-- You're like saints.

787
00:33:00,316 --> 00:33:01,567
[chuckles]

788
00:33:01,651 --> 00:33:03,903
-I don't know about that.
-[Jazz] I don't know. Yeah.

789
00:33:03,987 --> 00:33:05,029
[laughs]

790
00:33:05,113 --> 00:33:07,198
I really want the narrative around

791
00:33:07,281 --> 00:33:10,284
who can help
and who's capable of helping to change

792
00:33:10,368 --> 00:33:15,206
because, you know, I think it's important
that the general public understands

793
00:33:15,289 --> 00:33:18,209
that we're not extra capable,
extra special people.

794
00:33:18,292 --> 00:33:19,961
We're not social workers.

795
00:33:20,044 --> 00:33:21,921
We're all just creatives

796
00:33:22,005 --> 00:33:24,841
who were able to, like,
ask enough questions,

797
00:33:24,924 --> 00:33:26,384
lean on our friends.

798
00:33:27,802 --> 00:33:30,346
[Phil] I want people to know
if they like this idea…

799
00:33:30,430 --> 00:33:35,643
-You have a website?
-Yes. It's www.freelunchatx.com.

800
00:33:37,729 --> 00:33:39,439
-[chuckles]
-Ding!

801
00:33:40,314 --> 00:33:41,149
[sizzling]

802
00:33:41,232 --> 00:33:42,775
[Phil] Here's a perfect example

803
00:33:42,859 --> 00:33:45,111
of the creativity
you find all over this town.

804
00:33:45,945 --> 00:33:48,072
We're talking about cross-culturalization.

805
00:33:48,823 --> 00:33:51,576
This restaurant is called Kemuri Tatsu-Ya.

806
00:33:51,659 --> 00:33:53,995
This is one of my favorite spots
in Austin.

807
00:33:54,078 --> 00:34:00,376
Joining me today is Jane Ko,
a wonderful food blogger here in Austin.

808
00:34:00,460 --> 00:34:02,545
She knows a lot about the food scene.

809
00:34:02,628 --> 00:34:06,799
This is where you can get
Japanese and Texas in the same spot.

810
00:34:06,883 --> 00:34:08,092
I love a mash-up.

811
00:34:08,176 --> 00:34:09,594
That combo is a natural move

812
00:34:09,677 --> 00:34:12,555
for Tokyo-born,
Texas-raised Chef Tatsu Aikawa.

813
00:34:13,264 --> 00:34:14,140
Okay, guys.

814
00:34:14,223 --> 00:34:15,725
We have chicken <i>tsukune</i>.

815
00:34:15,808 --> 00:34:16,684
What you wanna do

816
00:34:16,768 --> 00:34:20,855
is kinda mix the skewer
inside the egg and do the dip.

817
00:34:20,938 --> 00:34:23,274
-It's chicken skin cracklings.
-[Jane] You ready?

818
00:34:23,357 --> 00:34:24,609
-I'm ready. Here we go.
-Okay.

819
00:34:24,692 --> 00:34:27,070
We break that yolk. Oh, you're good.

820
00:34:27,153 --> 00:34:29,363
-You're whipping it up.
-[Jane and Richard chuckle]

821
00:34:29,447 --> 00:34:30,865
You're making French toast.

822
00:34:30,948 --> 00:34:32,033
-[laughing]
-I'm, uh--

823
00:34:32,116 --> 00:34:33,076
[chuckles]

824
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:34,160
[Jane] And dip.

825
00:34:34,243 --> 00:34:36,120
[Phil] And then roll it around in there.

826
00:34:36,204 --> 00:34:37,538
[mellow music playing]

827
00:34:37,622 --> 00:34:38,831
[Jane] Mm.

828
00:34:38,915 --> 00:34:39,999
Oh my God.

829
00:34:41,626 --> 00:34:44,420
He's got a very playful…
He must like children.

830
00:34:44,504 --> 00:34:45,630
[chuckles]

831
00:34:45,713 --> 00:34:46,672
You have kids?

832
00:34:46,756 --> 00:34:48,424
Yeah, I just had a baby son.

833
00:34:48,508 --> 00:34:51,427
-Oh! Mazel tov! Congratulations.
-Thank you. Thank you.

834
00:34:51,511 --> 00:34:53,846
I think your-- your boy's
gonna like this dish.

835
00:34:53,930 --> 00:34:56,516
Um, I actually, you know, strap him in

836
00:34:56,599 --> 00:35:00,186
and, like, have him facing down
when I'm cooking at home sometimes.

837
00:35:00,269 --> 00:35:01,687
-How old is he?
-Four months.

838
00:35:01,771 --> 00:35:03,981
-You bringing him here and doing that?
-Not here. At home.

839
00:35:04,065 --> 00:35:05,566
-[both chuckling]
-That's good…

840
00:35:05,650 --> 00:35:06,776
Be-- Be careful.

841
00:35:08,444 --> 00:35:10,530
So, Jane, I love your Instagram.

842
00:35:10,613 --> 00:35:12,657
"A Taste of Koko."

843
00:35:12,740 --> 00:35:14,617
-Ko is your last name, right?
-Yes.

844
00:35:14,700 --> 00:35:16,369
And you're quite the influencer,

845
00:35:16,452 --> 00:35:20,206
but what I love about you is that
you're using your influence for good.

846
00:35:20,289 --> 00:35:23,126
I read all about
Hundred for Hospitality, right?

847
00:35:23,709 --> 00:35:25,294
Tell the people what that is.

848
00:35:25,378 --> 00:35:28,047
Well, as you know, COVID-19 happened,

849
00:35:28,131 --> 00:35:30,258
and being part of the restaurant industry,

850
00:35:30,341 --> 00:35:33,177
it was heartbreaking
the day that Austin locked down.

851
00:35:33,261 --> 00:35:36,430
And I had over 100 restaurant owners

852
00:35:36,514 --> 00:35:39,809
call me and said,
"Hey, we just locked down. What do we do?"

853
00:35:39,892 --> 00:35:41,060
So I started raising money.

854
00:35:41,144 --> 00:35:43,229
I took that money
and I started purchasing meals

855
00:35:43,312 --> 00:35:46,566
-from restaurants to help them reopen.
-Yes.

856
00:35:46,649 --> 00:35:50,778
I donated the meals to the hospitality
workers that were laid off or furloughed.

857
00:35:50,862 --> 00:35:53,114
This is what I love about your industry.

858
00:35:53,197 --> 00:35:56,951
Food people are always the most generous,
the most loving, the most giving.

859
00:35:57,034 --> 00:36:02,039
You know, the restaurants and hospitality
is the backbone of any city's economy.

860
00:36:02,123 --> 00:36:04,625
Of course. I don't want to live
in a world without it.

861
00:36:05,126 --> 00:36:07,086
I also don't want to live in a world

862
00:36:07,170 --> 00:36:11,591
without Chef Tatsu's
cheesy brisket-stuffed tofu puffs.

863
00:36:12,091 --> 00:36:13,009
[Jane] Mm!

864
00:36:13,092 --> 00:36:15,344
Basically, an adult Hot Pocket.

865
00:36:16,262 --> 00:36:17,471
But gourmet.

866
00:36:17,555 --> 00:36:19,473
Came out of late-night thinking, you know?

867
00:36:19,557 --> 00:36:22,393
Did you say it came out of late-night
thinking or late-night drinking?

868
00:36:22,476 --> 00:36:24,812
-[Richard laughs]
-Yeah, a little bit of both.

869
00:36:26,647 --> 00:36:28,357
[Tatsu] Hey, guys. [grunts]

870
00:36:28,441 --> 00:36:29,567
-[steam hissing]
-Oh!

871
00:36:29,650 --> 00:36:31,611
[Jane gasps] Oh my God.

872
00:36:31,694 --> 00:36:35,448
Here's a fun thing to say,
"Brisket bento box."

873
00:36:36,449 --> 00:36:37,867
Oh, whoa.

874
00:36:39,118 --> 00:36:40,369
[Tatsu] So this is a brisket,

875
00:36:40,453 --> 00:36:44,165
and it has garlic
smoked together with the beef fat.

876
00:36:44,248 --> 00:36:46,500
Uh, we have some veggies, pickles.
We have nori.

877
00:36:46,584 --> 00:36:49,086
It's kind of,
"Make your hand roll and have fun."

878
00:36:49,170 --> 00:36:50,963
Enjoy! Thank you.

879
00:36:51,047 --> 00:36:53,007
-Oh my God, it's very--
-Heavy.

880
00:36:53,090 --> 00:36:54,467
[Jane] I almost dropped it.

881
00:36:55,009 --> 00:36:57,303
-Have you ever had--
-No, nothing like this.

882
00:36:57,386 --> 00:37:00,932
-A nori roll with Texas brisket? [laughs]
-No! No, and I'm thrilled.

883
00:37:01,515 --> 00:37:03,392
You want to cut that in half, maybe?

884
00:37:03,476 --> 00:37:04,644
Even that's too big.

885
00:37:04,727 --> 00:37:06,646
-Do it big or go home.
-Are you doing it?

886
00:37:06,729 --> 00:37:07,563
I'm gonna do it.

887
00:37:08,272 --> 00:37:10,107
[laughing] Same size as the…

888
00:37:10,691 --> 00:37:11,692
-Right there.
-I'm proud.

889
00:37:11,776 --> 00:37:13,986
All right, I-- I do it.
If you do it, I do it.

890
00:37:14,070 --> 00:37:15,321
You can't roll it like a roll.

891
00:37:15,404 --> 00:37:17,240
-Because it's too big.
-It's more like a taco.

892
00:37:18,699 --> 00:37:19,825
-It's just obscene.
-Cheers.

893
00:37:19,909 --> 00:37:21,410
-Cheers.
-[laughs]

894
00:37:21,494 --> 00:37:23,496

898
00:37:30,378 --> 00:37:33,297
Oh… is this Paul Ruebens?

899
00:37:34,006 --> 00:37:35,383
<i>Phil, it's a video call.</i>

900
00:37:35,466 --> 00:37:36,300
Hi!

901
00:37:36,384 --> 00:37:38,219
[laughs]

902
00:37:38,302 --> 00:37:40,054
<i>Does this seem like too much light?</i>

903
00:37:40,137 --> 00:37:42,139
[laughing]

904
00:37:43,015 --> 00:37:45,142
Can I be serious for one second?

905
00:37:45,226 --> 00:37:46,352
<i>I don't know. Can you?</i>

906
00:37:47,144 --> 00:37:48,229
[chuckles]

907
00:37:48,312 --> 00:37:49,563
<i>Go ahead, be serious.</i>

908
00:37:49,647 --> 00:37:53,526
I still think that your achievement,

909
00:37:54,402 --> 00:37:56,737
your character,

910
00:37:57,863 --> 00:37:58,698
Pee-wee,

911
00:37:59,198 --> 00:38:02,535
is one of the greatest inventions
in the history of comedy.

912
00:38:02,618 --> 00:38:04,787
I just wanted to say that
while we have you.

913
00:38:05,288 --> 00:38:09,500
<i>Wow. I mean, I wish you would be</i>
<i>saying this on one of those CNN specials.</i>

914
00:38:09,583 --> 00:38:12,878
[Phil and Richard laughing]

915
00:38:12,962 --> 00:38:14,130
[Paul chuckles]

916
00:38:14,213 --> 00:38:19,635
<i>My understanding is you're calling me,</i>
<i>and I'm going to do a few jokes</i>

917
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,889
<i>in tribute to your father,</i>
<i>who I loved and adored, and, um…</i>

918
00:38:24,598 --> 00:38:29,603
<i>Uh, I'm so honored to be doing</i>
<i>anything involving him in any way.</i>

919
00:38:29,687 --> 00:38:34,150
<i>But I wanted to explain</i>
<i>that Pee-wee Herman was created originally</i>

920
00:38:34,233 --> 00:38:36,569
<i>because I couldn't-- can't remember jokes.</i>

921
00:38:36,652 --> 00:38:38,696
<i>My early stand-up as Pee-wee Herman,</i>

922
00:38:38,779 --> 00:38:42,658
<i>a lot of the routine and material</i>
<i>was about… I would start to tell a joke,</i>

923
00:38:42,742 --> 00:38:46,203
<i>and then I would be-- I would go like,</i>
<i>"Oh, wait. Oh, wait, I forgot."</i>

924
00:38:46,287 --> 00:38:50,374
<i>And so I told you this</i>
<i>when you asked me about doing this,</i>

925
00:38:50,458 --> 00:38:53,961
<i>and you said, "You can read</i>
<i>the jokes off of a piece of paper."</i>

926
00:38:54,045 --> 00:38:56,297
-That's right.
<i>-And so I have right here…</i>

927
00:38:56,380 --> 00:38:57,882
-Yeah.
<i>-And I'll be reading jokes.</i>

928
00:38:57,965 --> 00:39:00,384
All right. It's now time
for "A Joke for Max."

929
00:39:01,594 --> 00:39:03,304
<i>And these are jokes</i>

930
00:39:03,387 --> 00:39:06,223
<i>-that I feel Max would have liked.</i>
-Yes.

931
00:39:07,016 --> 00:39:08,476
<i>-Okay.</i>
-I know he liked you.

[Phil chuckles]

933
00:39:12,563 --> 00:39:14,190
<i>I'm gonna go with this one first</i>

934
00:39:14,273 --> 00:39:16,776
<i>because this is</i>
<i>a classic-- a classic setup.</i>

935
00:39:16,859 --> 00:39:20,029
<i>And it has a little bit</i>
<i>of Jewish flavor to it, also.</i>

936
00:39:20,112 --> 00:39:20,946
Oh!

937
00:39:21,489 --> 00:39:22,323
[laughs]

938
00:39:22,406 --> 00:39:23,491
How novel.

939
00:39:25,201 --> 00:39:28,079
<i>How do you keep a bagel from getting away?</i>

940
00:39:28,621 --> 00:39:29,455
How?

[Richard laughs]

946
00:39:48,099 --> 00:39:49,016

I wish Pee-wee was still on

<i>Thank you.</i>

1017
00:43:15,431 --> 00:43:17,766
-Love you. Goodbye.
<i>-Bye-bye!</i>

1018
00:43:20,686 --> 00:43:22,730
[Phil] All right,
one more place we gotta go.

1019
00:43:22,813 --> 00:43:25,733
There's an institution here
just outside of Austin.

1020

[upbeat jazz music playing]

1021
00:43:28,652 --> 00:43:30,863
It's Salt Lick Barbecue.

1022
00:43:31,614 --> 00:43:32,656
Wow!

1023
00:43:32,740 --> 00:43:35,451
-Hi, everybody!
-[all] Hey!

1024
00:43:35,534 --> 00:43:37,328
[Phil] Look who's here.
Look at all the people.

1025
00:43:37,411 --> 00:43:38,245
Sawyer and Evan…

1026
00:43:38,329 --> 00:43:39,830
-Hey.
-…Emily and Caitlin.

1027
00:43:40,497 --> 00:43:41,999
Eric, who drives too fast.

1028
00:43:42,082 --> 00:43:44,543
I want to give you
a ride home later on my bicycle.

1029
00:43:44,627 --> 00:43:45,461
How are you?

1030
00:43:45,544 --> 00:43:47,212
Jane Ko. My taco crew.

1031
00:43:47,296 --> 00:43:49,256
I'm in the Mafia! Good to see ya.

1032
00:43:49,340 --> 00:43:50,591
Daniel, my tour guide.

Fermin.

1034
00:43:52,051 --> 00:43:53,218
Tracy and Arjav.

1035

-How are you? Hi, hi!
-Hello.

1036
00:43:54,928 --> 00:43:57,306
[Phil] Look, how nice
they all came out for me.

1037
00:43:57,890 --> 00:43:59,141
Or was it for me?

1038

[dramatic music playing]

1039
00:44:00,726 --> 00:44:01,977
Is this a beautiful sight?

1040
00:44:02,061 --> 00:44:03,562
Oh my God!

1041
00:44:03,646 --> 00:44:04,980
Don't you love this pit?

1042
00:44:05,064 --> 00:44:07,775
Isn't it just everything you want
in a barbecue place?

1043
00:44:08,525 --> 00:44:11,445
It's like we're cavemen again,
sitting around the fire,

1044
00:44:11,528 --> 00:44:13,364
and all our kills are on the grill.

1045
00:44:13,447 --> 00:44:14,448
[chuckles]

1046
00:44:14,531 --> 00:44:15,699
Now we're in Texas.

1047
00:44:16,283 --> 00:44:20,079
This is Scott Roberts.
He's the grandson of the original owner.

1048
00:44:20,162 --> 00:44:21,830
-Guys!
-[Tracy] There's your bite.

1049
00:44:21,914 --> 00:44:23,165
[Phil giggles]

1050
00:44:25,834 --> 00:44:28,003
-Wow.
-[Scott] So that's the caramelization.

1051
00:44:28,712 --> 00:44:30,339
Have a shot. It's heavy, though.

1052
00:44:30,923 --> 00:44:35,135
You know, I'm not good at cleaning floors.
But this kind of mopping I think I can do.

1053
00:44:35,219 --> 00:44:36,220
[Scott laughs]

1054
00:44:36,303 --> 00:44:37,888
Wow, it's hot over here.

1055
00:44:37,971 --> 00:44:39,890
You guys have been so wonderful to me

1056
00:44:39,973 --> 00:44:41,350
chefing for me all week.

1057
00:44:41,433 --> 00:44:43,310
I-- It's the least I could do.

1058
00:44:43,394 --> 00:44:46,188
Look at me, I'm like a chef.
A chef who can only mop.

1059
00:44:47,147 --> 00:44:50,401
This is good. I like slapping this.
In fact, Richard, come over here.

1060
00:44:50,484 --> 00:44:52,361
I'd like to slap some on Richard.

1061
00:44:52,903 --> 00:44:54,822
-How about we eat?
-[Edgar cheers]

1062
00:44:55,364 --> 00:44:57,366

-[man] Yeah.

1063
00:44:57,449 --> 00:44:59,284

[lively music playing]

1065
00:45:02,162 --> 00:45:03,288
Oh man.

1066
00:45:04,540 --> 00:45:05,833
[man] Oh yeah.

1067
00:45:07,042 --> 00:45:09,253
-Come on. Belly up.
-Alrighty.

1068
00:45:09,336 --> 00:45:12,756
[Scott] Burnt ends.
We have baby back ribs. We have beef.

1069
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:14,258
I just want a little one.

1070
00:45:15,134 --> 00:45:16,051
[man laughs]

1071
00:45:16,135 --> 00:45:17,010
[Phil] Lovely, lovely.

1072
00:45:17,094 --> 00:45:18,762
[Scott] Everything that you have here

1073
00:45:18,846 --> 00:45:22,850
is based upon recipes that were
handed down from generation to generation.

1074
00:45:22,933 --> 00:45:24,518
[Phil] Bison ribs.

1075
00:45:24,601 --> 00:45:25,519
Pork ribs.

1076
00:45:26,145 --> 00:45:27,730
Maybe the best I've had so far.

1077
00:45:27,813 --> 00:45:30,190
Incredible chicken.

1078
00:45:30,274 --> 00:45:31,400
Turkey.

1079
00:45:32,025 --> 00:45:33,110
Everything great.

1080
00:45:33,193 --> 00:45:34,486
And the best part:

1081
00:45:35,070 --> 00:45:37,156
these friends I've made around this table.

1082
00:45:37,740 --> 00:45:40,826
Tell me about Austin. Last time
you were here… Is it different now?

1083
00:45:40,909 --> 00:45:43,162
-Yeah. A lot more growth, right?
-[Fermin] Mm-hmm.

1084
00:45:43,245 --> 00:45:47,124
It's almost… Well, you-- you guys tell me,
from your point of view, too much?

1085
00:45:47,207 --> 00:45:49,126
Enough? I don't know. Maybe.

1086
00:45:49,209 --> 00:45:50,544
We're in the sweet spot.

1087
00:45:50,627 --> 00:45:52,504
-Yes.
<i>-</i>But it's getting harder.

1088
00:45:53,213 --> 00:45:54,631
I was born and raised here.

1089
00:45:54,715 --> 00:45:56,258
North Austin for most of my life.

1090
00:45:56,341 --> 00:45:59,386
I would drive down to South Austin
just to visit family, ten minutes.

1091
00:45:59,470 --> 00:46:01,722
Now, easily an hour
just to get down there.

1092
00:46:01,805 --> 00:46:03,056
So when I grew up here,

1093
00:46:03,140 --> 00:46:07,227
there were two movie theaters,
one Chinese restaurant.

1094
00:46:07,311 --> 00:46:10,147
-[laughing]
-And now that we have--

1095
00:46:10,230 --> 00:46:11,148
"And we liked it!"

1096
00:46:11,231 --> 00:46:13,275
-[Scott] Yeah.
-[all laughing]

1097
00:46:13,358 --> 00:46:16,111
Now we have all this diversity,
all these new things.

1098
00:46:16,195 --> 00:46:17,571
It's-- It's-- It's amazing.

1099
00:46:17,654 --> 00:46:20,824
-So you're happy with the growth?
-I… I'm happy with the growth.

1100
00:46:20,908 --> 00:46:24,369
It's so nice
to have all these new opportunities.

1101
00:46:24,453 --> 00:46:25,996
-Yes.
-All these new people.

1102
00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:27,831
-Yes.
-It's just so great.

[mellow music playing]

1104
00:46:29,917 --> 00:46:34,171
[Phil] Austin is a booming city
trying to hold on to its small-town charm.

1105
00:46:34,797 --> 00:46:37,925
And thanks to folks like this,
they're pretty successful at it.

1106
00:46:38,008 --> 00:46:41,470
Their individuality is what
makes this place so fun, so charming,

1107
00:46:41,553 --> 00:46:44,139
and so important to Texas and beyond.

1108
00:46:45,140 --> 00:46:47,851
They have a saying around here:
"Keep Austin weird."

1109
00:46:48,644 --> 00:46:51,730
Well, if this is weird,
I think I want to be weird.

1110
00:46:52,397 --> 00:46:54,399
My friends! Thank you.

1111
00:46:54,483 --> 00:46:57,778
This is really what they mean
by "Texas hospitality," right?

1112
00:46:57,861 --> 00:47:01,114
I owe my happiness this week
to all of you.

1113
00:47:01,198 --> 00:47:02,533
I love meeting you.

1114
00:47:02,616 --> 00:47:05,244
I love the friends I have,
the new friends I've made.

1115

Here's to you, and Austin, and Texas,
and the USA, and the world in general.
