In this episode, I pass the mic to Charles Wong of Umamicue and Episode 182. He hosts Shawn Smith of Heffer BBQ along with brothers Sam and Stephen Lee of K-TEX BBQ. They share their individual journeys into BBQ and where they’re currently at. They share notes on what has and hasn’t worked, manifesting a brick and mortar, and reflect on what Chicago BBQ can be. It was truly a pleasure to take a back seat as they went to depths I could have never gone to. I hope to host more of these roundtables in the future.https://www.instagram.com/umamicuehttps://www.instagram.com/therealhefferbbqhttps://www.instagram.com/ktexbbq
