Well, we know he's not Kosher! 🙂
Would be awesome if you could include the prices of each platter ! Sweet vid otherwise though.
Amazing content, got me really drooling 🤤 much love from Milan, Italy ❤
Terry Blacks is by far the worst, La Barbecue is THE BEST!
Comparing TX BBQ to anything NY would be easy. 95% of the NY stops are 100% overrated!
Fun video!
All the places looked excellent, and I'm a little jealous. Great video!⬅
On your next trip to Texas, try out some West Texas BBQ in Abilene. When I went to college there, my favorite spot was Joe Allen's Pit BBQ. All the food was excellent. One element which made Abilene BBQ different than most places I've been was the BBQ sauce. It wasn't served cold in a squeeze bottle. Instead, it is kept warm in large cafeteria pans, and they ladle it on as you go through the line.
That was indeed Eric Andre 😂random
You're fighting your format when you eat at all these spots in one day. How can you judge when you're stuffed by your 3rd restaurant. Once you're that full, the last spots never really had a fair shot.
Cincinnati Chili next!
Dang, that looks delicious….to heck with new york pizza and hot dogs…
Copying Brennen Taylor
Went to Texas a while back and dear god was the food amazing. I need to go back again some day.
Curious….how did them flies taste like at the final place?
I’ll be there in TWO WEEKS!! Interstellar here we come!!
I almost feel bad for people from places like Kansas City or North Carolina. They always think they have the best BBQ. They don't. It's not even close. It's not close. We have gas stations that blow those entire states out of the water.
My God…… Only 1 minute into this clip and I am already salivating all over myself.
love the idea as a texan, but did you have to steal Josh Weissman's thumbnail that was also about texas bbq?
I did NOT expect the deli bbq place. 👌🏻 very cool
These places are smart rolling out the red carpet for youtubers that have some reach. They pay for one tray of Cue, and they get advertisment and become the dreams of so many. Nothing beats TX Monthly, but 647K subscribers isn't bad.
All places looked grand to me, and that Egyptian treat seemed sublime.
12:36 dude was that ya boi Chet hanks behind you??
My Jiujitsu gym is across the street from Interstellar Barbecue and sometimes we Roll with the doors open and it’s torture 😅
New yorkers….naive outside their city…
Welcome to Texas Good Choices for beginners 🤠🇺🇸🙌🏼🙌🏼
I live outside of Austin and kinda try to avoid it. I forget how much cool stuff there is in that town
terry blacks beef rib, you missed it </3
🍖🍗🥩🥘😃😀🙂 I want to eat some Texas barbecue.
You have to go to Terry Black’s next time.
Intersteller is the best. I used to go there before they were "famous". Great job, War Dog!!!
Wow that old guy is wearing a Rush Counterparts hat and an original GUP T-shirt. You should try Hill Country Barbecue in Manhattan
Glad you got to visit some good Texas barbecue places. There are good BBQ places in Dallas, Fort Worth, and other cities, but Austin is where the competition is the most fierce.
Didn’t even visit number one lol
Next time don’t wear a Yankees hat in texas please
You need to go to Dallas/Ft Worth and try Hutchins or Roy Hutchins BBQ…def won’t be disappointed
Is that Keegan-Michael Key in the start of the video?
omg.. the bbq
Interstellar did a pop-up in London last year and was fantastic
So many great places in Austin and beyond.
