- They said a woman couldn’t run a barbecue joint…but that was before they tried Helen Turner’s sandwiches. Turner has owned and operated Helen’s Bar-B-Que in Brownsville, Tennesee by herself since 1996, and amassed a loyal following due to her smoky cooking and secret sauce recipe. Watch the above video from the Southern Foodways Alliance documentary series to learn more.

What a Bad Ass. Helen Turner deserves more recognition.
agreed let's replace Harriet Tubman with her instead
@@1MRSomeguy smh
@@1MRSomeguy said the white man
For sure.
She has been featured on many platforms and television networks. She’s built a legacy! Wish I lived in the States so I could sample everything off her menu.
the man who gave the place to her was awesome.what a great story. keep it up ms.helen. God bless
Just a good person
He wanted her real bad.
This woman is amazing. How you run an entire restaurant, both front and back of the house by yourself seems impossible, but she does it. Pretty incredible, and the food looks top notch.
Tristan Smith not just a restaurant but a smoked bbq restaurant! It’s one thing to wake up and just throw some chicken breast onto a pan. It’s another to wake up at 2 in the morning to start making food. Mad respect!
My question is why. Sure you have to pay them, but how much less stress on you and maybe even put out twice the amount food.
@Ruby Lee ??????
@Ruby Lee I was praising the job she does. You brought sex into the conversation. You are manufacturing an argument that doesn't exist. I agree that sex doesn't matter in the least.
@Ruby Lee I'm just going to assume you're trolling. If not, then that is probably the dumbest logic of all time. Remove man or woman from your vocabulary completely, otherwise you're sexist. Go troll somewhere else.
I love her hospitality, she is definitely old school and ain’t nothing like the old style.
the man that gave her the place is a real one 💯 #🌍✌
this gives me hope. I want a restaurant so badly. idc if its a hole in the wall, I just want you to love what I create.
glad to hear portia. go for it ok, ill help you
People are returning to simple hole-in-the-wall. People like the genuine aspect.
Portia J I'm right with you Portia....check me out on Instagram @goldenchew__
You can do it lovely ♥️
Positive vibes to you, claim it....its yours.
Someone should buy that woman an industrial food processor. she deserves it. absolutely amazing.
Hoping she has one by now. Inshaalah ❤️🤞
Start the go fund me I'm in.
Says something that a man wakes up super early in the morning to start this woman's fire. We all need to do that in our own way.
I thought that was so sweet!
Now that's a team. ❤️
This lady is incredible. Love the story with her husband. Very precious
So sweet
I got so much respect for this kind of woman. Very hard working indeed for her family and she loves being a pit master which makes it even cooler.
3:11 “he’s dead right now” as if he’s gone to the store and will be right back 😂😂😂
😂 Awww, had to giggle cuz your comment so cute & down to 🌎
Lmao! I peeped that too
"....but I reckon he'll be back soon". :-)
@s ss Most definitely not. I was being facetious.
@s ss don't hate. Christ said anyone can become like him if they have love in their heart.
First Scott's BBQ in Hemingway, and now this. I'm going to be doing a lot of driving next year chasing all this down!
Call me. Ride with you. Got gas money.
@@PopsieLouisiana59
Although I live in England (London to be more precise), you'll be surprised at just how hard it is to find decent 'que. So if I am able to scrape some money together, and if someone is able to pick me up at the airport, would love to visit places like Mr. Rodney, and Mrs. Helen, for gas money ...
@@nigelft Hit me up, I fly free. Will land, off load some q and fly right back.
@@nigelft Let's do it!
Helen needs some exhaust fans to help with all that smoke in the pit back there. All that smoke can't be good for her health and we NEED her to LIVE
I was thinking the same. They have louvered power vents or even exhaust fans. I didn't see anything. I would love to visit and support her someday. Video was rec. so I'm late seeing this
I agree so I can live next to her shop
The smoke makes her stronger
The fans might mess with the temperature on the smoker. Too much air flow causes the coals from the wood to burn hotter. She'd have to find a way to adjust her cooking technique to offset the fans. I know it sounds right to bring in those fans but that might not be a good idea as it could mess with her overall flavor that the customers come to love.
Go vegan.
I don't trust people who complain about too much meat on their sandwich.
Preach! 😂
My wife complained about choking on me giving her too much meat.
I was like WTF.
@@g.s.5110 Ayo!!! 😳🤣🤣🤣
That's a good call.
I'm really late on your comment but yeah I agree I'd rather have more meat than bread cause if the meat falls off just eat it at the end
Big restaurants will never have anything on a good BBQ joint.
Real deal good food.
The Backyard BBQ Show - BBQFOOD4U Superwoman!!!!
True 🙌🏼
Facts
Helen is such an inspiration to us women. She's such a badass
You're right. Women's rights and equal pay!
Helen is indeed an inspiration. And girl like you are my goal. 😉
They sure don't make women like this anymore. What a shame.
Much respect and love Mama.
Right Bro? ✌
Jesus Bless Her more n more!
Last chick I dated overcooked ramen..
@@TeamLegacyFTW Who the hell overcooks a ramen?
@@HungDao-uq5zw Thots
Lou Sensei I’m done ✅ with y’all two 🤣🤣 hilarious!
Now videos like these i just love.
Agreed.
Agreed.
Good people, old school way of thinking and worth ethic. Gotta love the south.
anything but the heinous blonde desperately trying to make us believe she knows the slightest thing about sushi.
It`s like the Legend of BBQ sandwiches
Being a Texas fella..I'm primarily about brisket and an offset. However -- much respect to this lady for what she achieves everyday. I'd definitely buy from her if I was in the area. (I can't knock anyone who uses real wood logs!)
This lady is a pillar in her community. Adding value, contributing to society, and representing for women and people of color one sandwich at a time!
"He’s dead right now." Best line ever! 😂
*I will make it to see Mrs. Helen BBQ shop, she is on my bucket list!*
Mine too!
3:11 "He's dead right now".....
We'll talk to him later then.
We need more videos like this. Good people making good food. No attitude, no gimmicks, no awards. Just hard work and and passion.
I'm Brazilian and Helen is a powerfull women...ITS hard work but She loves!! Great hugs from.Brazil!!! Nice Pulled pork...I'm só hungry kkkk
Helen, you are a national treasure. Amazing woman. Thanks for doing what you do and for bringing so much happiness to the community around you.
What a woman!!! She's on her game and such a hard worker!! That's rare these days because everyone seems to sit on their rears and wonder why they arent making it in life. Its working hard that will get you anywhere in life. You get back what you put out. Her food looks absolutely amazing! That wonderful southern cooking makes my mouth water. God bless her and I pray God blesses her for all she is doing in her life.
love this lady. and what a character. the kind of person who makes America great.
Again
This was a charming piece. And I'm drooling. So well done ✔
I'm so proud of you lady!
Hard work seems to be a diminishing virtue in this & upcoming generations
Helen you are an inspiration. I consider woman like this to be perfect, strong, self sufficient, and independent. GOD Bless ya Girl.
this the defintion of a very hard work black women thumbs up sister i love this you got my like
You keep-on-keeping-on Ms. Helen! Many blessings and much love.
next time you're on vacation somewhere and want something to eat, do everyone in the area a favor and drive past the chain store and find somewhere like this. I promise you will never forget it.
It's cool how she got the business. She took it and ran with it and didn't look back! Awesome
Yep, that's how real BBQ is done in the South. It's the best. However, I love BBQ from all regions of the country, but this is my favorite. What a hard working woman. Much respect to you Helen.
I don't even know Ms. Helen but I already love her.
This lady is an angel!!!!
See this is what I love. These are two good people simply working hard and making the world that little bit better each day for other to live in it. Long heath to you both. From Ireland with luck.
She's a very dedicated lady. Props.
I have to stop watching videos like this when I'm hungry...
Or stoned
This is me literally at work. Makes me want to hit a steak house every day
This is as good as it looks me and my whole family has been eating here since she opened and she is a very sweet lady in person . Love you Mrs. Helen and thanks for what you do for the community.
We need more Helen Turners in this world.
stars always rise to the top. Helen not only knows what she's doin' but she serves personality with the Q.
I love her. she seems amazing.
You go, Helen! Making good, affordable cue out in the sticks for the people. Awesome. Absolutely great.
Helen’s just made it to the top of my bucket list. Love at first sight Helen.
"my customers are strange but really sweet" lol.
I can sure relate to that. Man, some days I hate my business. But they pays the bills.
I caught that and started laughing. Lol
Thanks for sharing this hardworking down to earth sister...
$4 for a large?! Open up in Tampa FL PLEASE!!!!!
How much is a BBQ sandwich in Tampa?
twb7691 $21 in San Jose California for a barbecue sandwich
twb7691 In Tampa, about $8-$10. depending on where you go... there is a small small BBQ place in the hood and they are the best but it's in a very small shack. they sell them at $7.
redcinos riiight in Los Angeles at least 12-18 for a real good one like how she's making ... and that's just the Sandwich
Bar B Que King in West Tampa on Main Street. Best place in town. Good price.
Really enjoyed this bit on Helen! You can see The passion she has for BBQ. Can't wait to visit her spot looks so damn good!!! favorite episode
Respect to this woman from Sicily!
The world is a better place with women like Helen. God bless her
hard working woman right there
I love Joe York's films. Glad to see them on Eater. More than just about the food, but also the unique characters that produce it.
She is an amazing person. We stopped by in a road trip... She is exactly what you see in this video... Extremely nice and full energy.
she's got some real character.. i bet people go for the food just as much as they do for her.
I am in tears right now! Mrs. Helen is such an inspiration to me! Makes me want to go to Brownsville, TN RIGHT NOW. Much love to Mrs. Helen, fellow foodie.
I want to give this woman a huge hug.
NOW THATS A WIFE AND HUSBAND
BEAUTIFUL
Most will never know what they have. such an inspiration.
This is how black love was in our culture before the welfare attack on families. Black people have always been the hardest workers.
Stories like this are needed. No divisive political/racial garbage. Just a story of a good person making a living :)
Mad respect to her.
God bless you and your family Helen ♡
I love this lady and need to find me an excuse to head there and try it out.
Their marriage is enviable!! Great union!! Her food looks amazing! I will never for the life of me understand how someone could watch this video and dislike..
Love the passion and love for the art of BBQ. She's a master for sure
Don't live there. Never been there. Never had BBQ. I've seen her a lot on RUclips and I love this woman.
I've seen like 4 videos about Helen and her amazing bbq joint. What an amazing work ethic, great love of her community, and the food looks amazing. This might be a weird thing to say but I feel like giving this great lady a hug. I live in Colorado and I'm thinking about taking a roadtrip out east solely to eat. I want her to have a great long life so I worry about the insane smokyness of her cooking area, I want her to be healthy so she really needs to add a few more fans to vent that building out.
i know wat you made me want to be more deicated to my job in stop complaining god bless u in your husband 17yrs starting fire for his wife amen
What a great story that randomly passed by my RUclips suggestions. Thumbs up for Helen.
For SOME reason I LOVE this Lady!
Mad respect. And then I am here in the Netherlands looking at factory produced , processed, frozen and after deep fried food with no love for food insight.
Helemaal mee eens. Dit soort passie zie je hier niet echt
I just wanna hug her. She seems tb such a lovely person 🥰🥰
If I ever get my ass over the pond I'll definitly visit her!
I’m from and live in Pittsburgh so good barbecue is hard to come by, anytime I travel south 1st thing I look for is a good BBQ joint. The best is the ones that have picnic tables to eat at. Just absolutely amazing...
I need to stop by one day and buy some of her fine barbeque. When food is cooked with such love and dedication it has to be amazing.
Her burger has so much meat! Here in Sydney I only get about a 1/4 of that size and it's $8! but still good. You guys over in the US are so lucky!
Wish I could taste your great looking food Helen turner God bless you keep up the hard work.
Fellas, this right here is love y'all. She deserves an upgrade to her spot to hook more customers.
This woman is so inspirational. I love her, she is a role model for everyone not just woman. Her parents should be very proud of her.
She is working that food!,but when you do what you love,you never work a day in your life!Helen is truly a legend,ba-bayyyyyyyyyy.She laughs just like my Aunt Ray-Ray Stevenson,who stays in Jackson,TN.I sure wanna go eat at Helen's place when I come back down that way.Thank You,Casey Grimes-Finley,Chicago,Illinois
Terrific Story - all the best Helen. Keep doing what you do.
love this story, I like places that have a small menu, I like quality and homemade.
Amazing places like this are open to the public!
Love you Helen you are a blessing thank you.
I love her attitude. So much positive vibes from her. And I would love to go and eat some BBQ!
