Sky Full of Bacon 03: The Last Brisket Show
1 year ago
It's Sky Full of Bacon, the Chicago-based high-definition video podcast about interesting people and great-looking food.
Taylor, Texas is a legendary barbecue mecca, home to BBQ joints still serving up brisket and sausage like they did 75 years ago-- though the cottonpickers they served then are computer programmers today. We go inside Louie Mueller Barbecue, the most smoke-stained restaurant in America, as owner Bobby Mueller shows us how great barbecue is made. And we'll sit a spell with Vencil Mares, 84-year-old proprietor of Taylor Cafe, as he reminisces about the wild old honky tonk days in his place. (13:06) More info at skyfullofbacon.com/blog
UPDATE 9/8: I was shocked to learn today that Bobby Mueller had passed away over the weekend at the age of 69. I hope my video is a fitting tribute to a man who served thousands some of the best BBQ in the world.

The only thing missing is the smell of smoke that must have soaked into the building itself.
It looked as if even the cooktop they had for sauces was fired with wood. Now that's real bbq.
