      @@joshtaylor6466 How is pointing out the roots of BBQ political gas lighting? I bet you’d even argue that BBQ in the Carolinas that evolved into what we know today doesn’t have roots in slavery. Also, you’d probably argue that Ashkenazi Jews didn’t influence our love of smoked brisket….that’d probably make someone like you really uncomfortable. In short, it wasn’t Jim Bob and Truck Nuts in the yard with a Weber kettle.

    I miss the BBQ Pitmaster show that was on TV many years ago. This lady reminds me of those excellent Pitmaster's and it is a joy to watch someone do it so good. I have been up all night many a times smoking meats & cooking for a family get together the next day. Doing this on Christmas eve is one of the best times for me. Working on our deck by the pond with all the lights with a great drink for the evening. Shalom

If you have the passion for whatever you do don’t listen to anyone. The fact you have passion is all the drive you need to take you where you need and what to go!!

    As a believer myself, the people I have always been around dont care if your male or female. Dont sell yourself short sister you being a pitmaster can match up with all other pitmasters. To each his own as there are soooo many styles and flavors. Each adding their own unique twist. Yalls twist with a mexican flare is pure genius. Home based out of New Braunfels,born in Lubbock, and raised in Denton now living in Thailand, I can so relate to the big red thing. Our familys kick was homemade big red ice cream.Wish I was closer to find yall and try your culinary offerings. I pray one day. May God continue to bless the whole Nevarez family... Go sandcrabs!
