There isn’t much barbecue-specific discussion on this interview with Adam Perry Lang since its more focused on dry-aged beef and the recent opening of his new steakhouse/smokehouse/brasserie APL in Los Angeles, but its still good nonetheless. APL does have a walk-up window with housemade hot dogs and beef rib tacos.

The Ringer’s Joe House talks to bona fide BBQ expert Adam Perry Lang about opening his new steakhouse in Los Angeles, forging his own knives, his state-of-the-art dry-age room, what makes a dry-aging process unique, some grilling tips, and more (3:50). Then House links up with Juliet Litman for a classic ‘House of Carbs’ Food News (51:30).

Friday Find: YETI Presents: Hometown

/ Barbecue Bros / Leave a comment

The story of Billy Durney’s path to opening Hometown Bar-B-Que in Red Hook and how he fed a community in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy even before the doors of his restaurant officially opened. Both Speedy and I loved Hometown few years back, but I didn’t know this fantastic story until this video.

When Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast, all the hard work and heart Billy Durney put toward building his dream restaurant came to an unexpected halt. But that didn’t stop this bodyguard-turned-pitmaster from pulling through for his Brooklyn community. He lifted his hometown’s spirits with damn good barbecue, and in turn, they inspired his greatest pursuit yet.

 

 

Friday Find: Searching for the Birthplace of Southern Barbecue in Memphis

Unfortunately I didn’t make it to any barbecue restaurants in Memphis eventhough Payne’s, Central, German Commissary, Bar-B-Que Shop all would have been worthy excursions from the festival. Here’s a taste of what I missed.

The birthplace of Southern barbecue as we know it is almost impossible to nail down; cities from across America’s “barbecue belt” are responsible for different flavor profiles and techniques that have grown and shaped the cuisine’s history. Today, we visit Memphis for an inside look at the smoky, meaty dishes coming out of Tennessee.
