- I’m back in the studio to recreate Texas BBQ using the knowledge I now have from the best pit masters. I’ll be tackling the iconic brisket, as well as building on the sides which are heavily inspired by KG BBQ’s incredible menu. Let me know your favourite side in the comments.

I love the honesty of this video, and you show the good parts and the things you can improve upon. This is what us home cooks need.❤
💯% 👊🧡👍
Everyone fails their first brisket. The brisket will turn out good, but it just takes practice to nail the technique to make a perfect brisket.
Uma carne suculenta é maravilhoso
Ageeed mate. It's refreshing to hear
Nice video 👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍
I think your critique on BBQ is spot on, most of the sides are super heavy, which make eating a BBQ meal very dense. I think the folks at KG are definitely doing it right by pairing the generally heavy meats with lighter and fresh sides. I think that a Banh Mi inspired coleslaw would be a fantastic side dish as well!
You are a very honest and humble chef. I dont think you nailed this one and you were honest about it. I respect you and will continue to watch.
lol you're just mad he talked crap about the Texes(yes, ik how to spell it- Texas, but wanna talk Texes lol) white American people sides. at least black Americans, they did it better. y'all are the same now from hundreds of years of being best friends. he's right 100% the only sides that are good is the mac and cheese and not every place does it well. and tbh brisket is not great, it's okay even close to bad. the only thing i like from BBQ are the ribs. that's it. with a good glaze. but every other part just isn't great. so who cares about your brisket opinion. he probably made it taste even better. and smoked it betta, besides each brisket differs and it all mostly tastes like shit. i'd eat Andy's brisket over any brisket from the US. i know his is good from the way he cooks(ofc) but also from the way he talked about BBQ in Texas and how he described it, he knows his stuff and has good taste so he probably did nail it and did it even better. BBQ is (especially brisket) and all that other stuff is essentially men who like meat and like to grill and smoke and learned a few things along the way. but they're not chefs at the end of the day and nowhere near as skilled or culinary or know more in detail or all the aspects in cooking and don't have the sophistication either and it's an art too to be a chef and you have to be a good chef too it's harder as a chef. oh and you need a degree. and they're not chefs, not like Andy. they're just people who know some info about meat and wood and smoke. you were right about him being humble and respectable though. he really is. and he's a chef in its word. born to cook. born to make a better brisket too.
you a brisket expert anyway? i'm curious.
Great job with this one! Love your interpretation on the sides for the brisket. Safe to say even a non-ideal smoked brisket is still good brisket.
Chef, your honesty and transparency is inspiring, to say the least. I fought my attention span and watched the whole way through just out of respect for it. It wasn't that difficult, because you consistently provide thorough and excellent instruction. If you want good sides next time you're in ATX, checkout Interstellar BBQ up north around 620 and Lakeline. They consistently have insanely delicious and creative sides and desserts. It's one of the things I miss most about living near the city
Thanks for watching!
I’ve said this for years. So many BBQ places serve great proteins but have below average or straight up gross sides. Andy is on point as usual. Love the videos!
I must agree with your opinion on the sides. I have always preferred more acidic sides, vinaigrette cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, pickled onions and cucumbers being my favorite. I love your take on the chimichurri❤. Thanks Andy🎉
Oh, and sauces!! Fresh mustard infused vinegar❤
sorry bruh u wrong
Sides are ao important. Love sumac onions. Cant wait for more sides
Super solid. Cooking is trial and error for every level of chef. Couldn't have done better than that on my first try!
Andy your humbleness is inspirational, im sure the next brisket you make you will knock it out of the park. Would love to see that video, ANDY'S BRISKET 2.0!!
It's nice to see a professional chef admit he ain't no pit master,two different worlds, especially coming from another Aussie and I hope you continue this awesome journey you started
Coming from a Kiwi
Most respectful chef out there.
Thank you for being so humble
This is what I love about your channel, is the honesty. Great video keep it up.
The honesty is what kept me watching ty. A chef and a newby deserve this.
I love that you didn't have a great brisket cook and you still showed it. You think from other channels that they just nail every brisket cook and it's just not true. You can do the same thing every time and you're going to get some bad cooks because no two cuts of brisket are the same. I'm here for it because you tried and showed the results good or bad. Great attempt chef. We know you'll be back trying to perfect it.
So close to that 4M Andy and more than deserved. While I dont cook any of the dishes you show I enjoy each and every one of your videos, thanks for making me salivate at some nice BBQ food today.
I love your honesty Chef. Well done for trying. I think the point of cooking is to try new things and sharing knowledge. Keep up the great work!
Franklin's BBQ is by far the finest Brisket BBQ..!! Andy has now had some of the best BBQ that Texas USA has to offer.. Franklin's Brisket is unmatched..!!
I love the upfront honesty, so refreshing and appreciated. So many 'explainer vids' these days are by people explaining how to do things they've never done (or at least professionally).
I'm so jealous of your friends, family, and producers! You are a boss, & anyone who eats your cooking is so privelaged to be in your circle.
Thank you so much for producing the types of videos that you do! I love your videos not just because the food always looks amazing but because you aren't afraid to show what could be improved upon. Also, your videos are just fun to watch!
Andy, Chef, Legend! Thanks for sharing and for your honesty, I'd be overjoyed if someone served me that! For a 1st attempt, I'm sure it's so much better than I or most people could accomplish! And not forgetting Thanks to the Team (I bet that was a good team lunch)! Peace ❤
I very much appreciate how honest and authentic Andy is in these videos. I’ve never cooked a brisket so have no idea how it should look; his looked great to me! But I love that he tells the audience when things aren’t perfect; I just like that he doesn’t feel the need to lie to viewers. That KG food truck looked amazing and I hope to get to visit it someday.
Andy is so honest and real! Thanks for the pointers!
I think you nailed the process. When I rest I just put my oven to 150f (low as it will go) and keep a temp probe in it till it slowly drops on its own and I’ve never had an issue. No guessing where it’s at and if it gets that low at least I know it will be stable at that serving temp
Watched the whole video and rather or not you think your brisket is hands on or not I’d eat that brisket any day. It looks so good n moist. Brisket is one of my favorites!
The origins video was great. Seeing what he learned implemented here is great. From the USA great job Andy!!
Your sincerity and sharing of your process and tips is the best, Andy. So many cooking videos and shows just feel like entertainment. Your videos encourage curiosity and learning about cooking and culture ♥
The textures and flavors in this dish are so complex and well thought out. It's clear you have a lot of knowledge and skill when it comes to food 🤩🤩👌
Great job! Smoking brisket is quite difficult. I have been been doing it for years now, and I am still learning. Way to go outside of your comfort zone and from here, it looks like you did a wonderful job!
Your dedication to learning new styles of cooking you're unfamiliar with is awesome. I also love that you use cooking techniques from all over the world. I think that's something we lack in American cooking. We'll done.
I appreciate that!
Wow great, you captured what amazed me most about your Austin Video (KG BBQ) and turned it into something I could see myself doing one of the next weekends! Thanks a lot for this great inspiration. Chapeau that you give honest feedback about your brisket! Most of us would be pretty happy if our first brisket turned out like this, but I see where it could be better and so did you and were open about it.
How far the channel has come, it's amazing! I remember watching when the channel was barely new.
Nail smashed squarely on the head. I wrote in Comments on your Texas tour video precisely what you say here - the traditional sides are gloppy carb messes, save for the Egyptian maestro. Well done! These sides are fantastic with any grilled meat.
That looked absolutely delicious! Dont sell yourself short Andy. That was great for a first try. The fact that your humble about things is charming.😊❤
I do respect the fact you are honest enough to be forthright about your limitations. Nothing wrong with that nobody is an expert in everything. Great vid.
Andy is the most honest and best chef ❤
It’s awesome that you go over the good and the bad 👍 I have eaten smoked brisket maybe twice, it was ok but not something I rush to try again unless it was recommended.
I've cooked about 10 briskets over the last 4 years and absolutely love this video. Humble and awesome
Humble and honest as usual, absolutely loving this series, keep up the incredible food content! ❤
Also, he’s 1000% right and on point the sides need work for good BBQ!
A brilliant video Andy. The honesty in all your cooking and especially this video cooking briskets and bbq is truly refreshing and everything we'd expect from you. The sides looks magnificent. Great work mate. 👍
Love the salad and red onions yummy. Thank you for sharing chef Andy. 😋😋😋
Makes you realise just how.much effort goes into this cooking style. We really liked the middle eastern edge of the sides! As Noosa Hinterland locals we super respect you using local produce where you can. We're so lucky to have access to so much quality. Peace to you & your fam ✌️
I love how honest you are about everything
Appreciate your humility and lack of pretentiousness. I’d eat that brisket and I agree on sides, coming from a life long Texan. Look forward to seeing your next smoking video and what changes you’ve made.
Love your honesty Andy , When smoking the brisket the side dish looks fresh vibrant 🔥🔥🔥
You are amazing Andy!!! Love the honesty and integrity.
It’s good seeing the process! I also am working on a brisket recipe and it’s nice seeing your process and hearing your feedback!
I love that didnt try and blag it at all. You see so many guys doing trim videos that have trimmed maybe 3 briskets their whole life
Saw the whole video. It made me wanna try smoking and bbq. Imagine an expert chef being this honest and humble. Wow.
Texas BBQ just so goated. Thx for all these great recipes Andy! 🙏
I’m a Texas guy and a big fan and I gotta say..that brisket looked just fine. Good on you. Thanks Chef!
Loving this series Andy! It clearly takes a lot of work to put it together but I think it’s worth it :)
Good stuff man, im entering my journey into brisket buying my first smoker soon. I need this videos that give a “beginners” perspective. Thanks for the information
Very well done video Andy I appreciate your honesty
I love how you actually embody the average home cook in your videos. I.e. trying something new and critiquing yourself on what you could have done better which is usually what happens.
Those sides look delicious! Much better than potato or macaroni salad, coleslaw, pasta salad or french fries or baked potato, which is what most BBQ places near me (PNW, USA) serve. I could see a cold fruit dish (not too sweet) for dessert.
Started smoking about 2-3 years ago it’s an art that you learn and keep learning as you go. Yeah I’ve messed up but also smashed it best thing I ever started learning.
Looks great chef! Something to consider next time. Smoke the brisket fat cap up and when you hit 165, place two pieces of aluminum foil underneath and create a foil boat that only covers the bottom half. The brisket will be nice a juicy resting in the rendered fat of the aluminum boat. The sides look amazing!
The honesty is great.
Looks like my first brisket cook. Coudl be better, but for sure edible. Love that you're being honoust!
First time on a traditional offset and not on a oven baker is respect, the skill’s definitely come in due time, keep it up!
on those types of smokers there is a hot spot at the far end by stack also because of the way the air draws. 200 isn't always hot enough for max tenderness. for clean smoke i've found it best to burn wood down to coals in something else then shovel it into the smoker.
You are a legend mate, down to earth and good at what you do
Great video per usual, I appreciate how much of a known established chef that Andy is and he doesn’t pretend like he can’t be taught anything new. I feel like a lot of chefs egos are too big too learn and take this humble approach. Much respect. Even though most of the haters in food channel comment sections saying everything the chef does is wrong probably can’t even make a pancake, Andy still always delivers the final blow with humble lessons and just being super chill.
Dude this is so true. BBQ meat is amazing but the sides are always mac n cheese, baked beans or cole slaw. When I saw that Egyptian BBQ I was very impressed by the sides.
The Sides!!!! This makes the meal! Great Job!
Totally on point with the sides!! I struggle a bit with what to have as sides with smoked meat as all the traditional stuff is pretty boring. Thanks for the video!
Brilliant, keep them coming Andy!
Love this one. Longer videos are definitely the way to go. I was interested form the start to the finish. And kudos on attempting the brisket. Another couple of them and you’ll be sorted.
Loved the video and those sides look so fresh. I lived in Houston for a few years and the sides are definitely heavy. Those look like a great option I’d love to try!
I think the sides at Terry Blacks are fantastic. Especially the potato salad and beans that have that lovely smoky flavor and brisket in them. Their peach cobbler and banana pudding is also really good.
Very interesting video. A great sorce of bbq i love is chuds bbq. Has helped alot with my bbq. Plus every offset cookes different. Love the idea of the lighter sides. Keep up the great vids love them.
Just a quick message to say great vid, honesty is key as most of the people watching this aren't 3rd generation pit masters from Texas. Cheeky request for some more content on fish dinners as the center piece, cheers chef!
Love your honesty, I think it takes loads of practice to nail the perfect large cut of meat, especially brisket. Thanks for the inspiring sides, they looked yum
Hello, I am from Iran, do you like modern cooking or traditional and rural cooking??
Great video! Love the honesty!
Cheers for this 1 bro and the sides mmmmm have never done a brisket yet but love how you broke it done kept it simple for us home wannabe chefs Kia Ora bro nga mihi
Thank You for Sharing Andy👍👍✌️✌️👏👏😊
Your smoker looks badass!!! I love your videos dude, keep it up!
I'm sure that you've likely tried a few more briskets since this video but you might want to give the foil boat method a try.
When you wrap it, use aluminum foil underneath and kind of ruffle it/curl it up around the sides while leaving the top fat cap exposed. I learned that from Bradley Robinson of Chuds BBQ and i prefer the results over wrapping it in paper and that's without even using any tallow.
Another thing you can do if you're going to rest it overnight, is to use your oven's warming drawer. That way you can maintain it at a low temperature for a long period of time. A cooler is great for a few hours but a warming drawer is better for overnight.
Sooo spot on!! Everyone knows in the US that sides usually suck... But what a missed opportunity!! You're killing it as always mate! May the stuck be with you!
Great to hear honest opinion on how hard it is to smoke a brisket even for a professional chef.
And origins is amazing series - keep going! All the luck
Love how you went to Texas and learned from the masters of Texas bbq like Black's and Franklin
Just love your transparency 😊
Everything looks amazing! Being from the seventh flag over Texas (the great state of Oklahoma), I can say that you are correct about the sides. There is one local chain here that has a side of fried potatoes that is to die for. I’m not sure how they season them but they’re worth the price of admission by themselves. I smoke my briskets at 180F at the beginning. It seems to impart the perfect smoke ring that way. Then I wrap and continue at 225F until done. Low and slow baby! I’m gonna try that rice side. It looked really good.
Andy's channel is up top in quality and honesty, im getting Chef JP vibes❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Keep it up Andy
Sides look brilliant!!
You are an awesome Chef. Very simple and humble. Been watching you since 30k subscriber i think. Keep it up chef.
Keep up the content brotha Andy! I've thoroughly enjoyed all the videos! Showing you some love from East Coast VA✊️
I've been smoking my brisket on a webber for years they come out great I tries on a newer weber and not so good my old one has the old 3 vet system on the bottom I leave 2 holes open works great
Respect for the self feedback, learning in the kitchen is one of the most fun things if you don't nail something you gotta go again. the sides look amazing, would love a video on Egyptian foods.
I noticed at the beginning of the brisket cook you said you didn't want to get any dirty smoke on the brisket throughout the cook. I tried something Johnny White at Goldees BBQ did where he put on the brisket as it's coming up to temp, cold brisket and let it get some dirty smoke at the start. It actually improves the smoke flavor which i find very appealing
Very cool sides! I did chimichurri last Christmas with my prime rib, one of my favorites! For your first time, that brisket looks absolutely phenomenal! Excellent work all around!
i love you andy my misses bought me your cookbook, i'm amazed with the quality, much love from TASMANIA! hope you come down during the summer season and try our tasmanian seafood, you wont be dissapointed!
from a Central Texas (Austinite), great work on that first brisket! most of us don't cook our own because we don't have to. your sides look wonderful.
Excited for Nashville!
i do enjoy a little bit of reality check here and there. It's just all about experience in the kitchen, you can't just nail something you aren't that familiar with even as a professional chef. Love the content chef.
Thanks!
By complete coincidence I'm making brisket tomorrow. It's my second ever, first was pretty darn good so excited for this one. Wish I'd gone for these sides too!
Hello, I am from Iran, do you like modern cooking or traditional and rural cooking??
He’s got a good point with the sides. In the US we don’t really serve complementary sides like he did.
