Pastrami Beef Ribs are Interstellar’s Spin on Classic Texas Barbecue - Smoke Point
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 янв 2025
- At Austin’s Interstellar BBQ, pitmaster John Bates and his right-hand man, Warren McDonald, a.k.a "War Dog," put a spin on classic Texas fare. Using all of the kitchen skills and attention to detail he learned as a chef in high end restaurants, Bates plays up traditional ribs by rubbing them with a mole seasoning, serving them with a riff on mole sauce and cotija cheese, and makes other distinct offerings like pastrami beef ribs and jalapeño popper-stuffed sausages.

Wardawg is the real deal. I had the pleasure of working with him in a previous kitchen. Never met anyone who took more pride in his food. He’s a mad man in the kitchen. Love you Wardawg.
Wardog : "Hello gentlemen, how's your evening going?"
Brisket : "Pretty average, how was your's?"
*...*
Wardog : "Alright, Imma go home now."
When you work so long you start hulucnating lol
Wardog is that friend we all need in our lives.
Thanks everyone. It is a trip working there.. try to entertain myself and love to play and experiment in the kitchen
They need turkey and deer meat 😃
Warren McDonald what are you wearing on your head?
@@warrenmcdonald1292 on first impression, I thought you are Warren Buffett
Warren McDonald, you should post videos about your daily life at work, I'll totally watch it.
If you told me that Wardog was actually an undercover CEO of a major successful corporation I'd believe it.
I totally got undercover boss vibes from him too lol
Undercover bbq bosses
Here in the UK, our bbq consists of burnt sausages and over done burgers in the garden. We just get drunk and forget what were eating. This stuff in America is different level. Amazing xxx
lmao
Same in all europe
Why did I read this in a British accent in my head when I’m American
Can your Austin Powers teeth HANDLE these meats? ;^)
@@gschady why do you think our teeth are like that....from all the chewing and tearing we have to do on our shitty BBQ..
Wardog's the type of dude you'll wanna give your restaurant to when you decide to retire. That's passion, man.
Employees like wardog are worth their weight in gold.

@@rasheedaparente7749 4:17 everyone gangsta till the brisket starts talking back
Most owners would kill for an employee like wardog in their kitchen. Lol
Proconsul Scipio 100%... those guys are just cut from a different cloth
A love for cooking and respect for the animals is rare.
Proconsul Scipio that’s a pretty high bar buddy
Well they say great food is born from perfection. And damn is he a hardcore perfectionist with the OCD and all.
There was another episode where a food truck used this guy's prep kitchen. What a champ for renting out his facility.
Warren G & the Regulator. A Classic right there.
Shoutout to War Dog, he is very much a essential part of the whole process.
Another shoutout to the people here that know about the Regulator that Wareen G put out in the 90’s.
Man this is the dream. I work in a Midwestern French inspired fine dining farm to table restaurant and have been smoking/BBQing since I was a teen. The way this restaurant cooks and plates is an inspiration.
That's a mouthful
@@Nikp117 indeed, I'm sure there an easier way to explain what I do lol
Shoutout to wardog for shouting out Warren G - Regulator . Slaps!
I keep forgettin...about that song...
classic!
elchubbo I see what you did there.
mount up
I live close by interstellar. Happy to see my local bbq is on here finally! :)
yo mama taste good gotta love Austin
I’ve eaten here and it was solid. I have it in my top 5 for Austin and I was slightly disappointed the first time only due to it being so new so I’m guessing they were figuring things out. However, I have seen in this video that they changed a bunch and even added stuff. They’re not kidding about the sides or desserts here at all. The sides here are very good.
The BBQ in NYC is god awful. I am jealous.
@@Alex-ye1br have you tried Hometown BBQ? Probably the best the city has to offer
@@anto_91 Yep, live quite close to Red hook. Otherwise, It's Blue Smoke or Fette Sau.
What places are on that list of yours?
They've ironed things out, but still remain consistently good. My favorite ribs in the city hands down.
Much like the brisket, my body is a gelatinous wonderland of richness.
But is it composed?
thanks, I’ll make sure to use that information effectively
Let me taste it.
GOT STUUUFFED sounds tasty. I’m sure that’s a nice treat for your dating partner.
@@Tainomontana woah woah slow down there buster
I want to see a Chef's Night Out for this crew, War Dog is that dude lmao
Everyone at vice @vice +vice
John I'm impressed with your humbling acknowledgement that even with experience in "high end" kitchens you're new to BBQ and don't know everything. Yes based on how you prepare your food I want to come and try it!
Wardog is my spirit animal.
I want to take a 15 hrs flight just to eat that... This looks so good omg
I will go for you....3 hour drive fron Dallas
Haha wanna watch choox together
No
Ayyyeeee gemik!!!
Hey Gemik from ML is here ;)
I legitimately gasped at how incredible that brisket looked when he cut it in half.
Fuxk the brisket (can't believe Im sayin this)...that pastrami rib tho. Im in love.
This man wardog called the brisket a gelatinous wonderland of richness. He is a poet
Good to see a chef make every dish the best thing you ever ate .
I think the world just need more love and BBQ.
Wardog is a treasure.
8:24 .. "The Enforcer" I use is an idling leaf blower since MORE air/ oxygen flares the fire equally without burning more propane kinda like a strong gust of wind
“We care about everything on the menu here. From brisket to pickles. Everything matters here.” That’s passion there.
I was wondering what a Christopher Nolan movie had to do with barbecue.
same
same
This place is less than a mile from my house and office. I love interstellar BBQ. Nice to see them featured.
I live just a few miles away. One of the best bbq restaurants in Austin. Their lamb shank is amazing
Jesus, when wardog checking the brisket, I felt the passion. Damm respect.
a bunch of humble, hardworking gents
That pastrami rib sounds like actual heaven
It's R U B, with a "U". Ugh!
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 at 10:57 it clearly says "rib"..
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 go away u troll
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 How is a R U B a bath of liquid and veggies? Classical Karen. Ugh!
oh it is
can confirm the scallop potatoes are amazing. the smokiness is something you never think about wanting in cheesy potatoes but its perfection. Blessed this place is 15 minutes away :)
WarDog is a real one ☝🏽. Shout out to you Regulator.
Thank you!!! Come see us!!
I believe that wardog should try his hand at Poetry, would be a Best Seller I think, great Video, Beautiful Food. If you guys ever decide to do a revisit of all of your Smoke Point places, you would have a big following. Many thanks.
Definitely gonna re-create those pastrami ribs! I bet that'd be good for short ribs for the home chef. I really dig the passion they put into their cooking too!
Best way to tell if its time to go home, is when food talks back to you HAHA.
Hope I can try this out one day. We don't have this kind of BBQ quality in the Netherlands
But you do have a lot of yummy fried foods…
Outside the box is the place to be. I've been smoking ancho rubbed tri tip and making enchiladas out of it. Smoke it. Braise it. Use the resulting broth as a base for the chili gravy. My house has been quite popular.
Did this guy ever work in fine dining? I don't remember him mentioning that
He's actually worked in fine dining establishments..I don't know if u heard 😂😂😂
9:28
Twenty years in the can...
Love bbq spots that think outside the box. Often times they provide great flavor because of their uniqueness.
Wardog is my new role model. 🤣 I have an ‘Enforcer’ too; I call it Rick Dalton. lol. 🔥🍖
It's very honorable that you're clear about the authenticity of your food.
Love what you're doing definitely going to have to try you all out when I'm in Austin. I was a executive chef white tablecloth most of my life and what you're doing sounds excellent
Pastrami beef ribs? I definitely need to try those.
Great place to eat. Jon is super cool the food is phenomenal
Those beef ribs are off the chain. We never see them here in Mississippi restaurants, grocery stores. I'm going to find some online. Great vid.
Wow! The craft , passion and humbleness is magnificent! Looking forward to come to your place!
A most Noble business venture... I think I'll go cry in a corner now.
Wow I just eaten but my mouth is watering. Looks amazing.
Warren is a national treasure.
Very innovative!!
#wardogRules ! Chef's perspective on things (business, life, bbq philosophy) brilliant, simple and priceless. Have to visit the place now.
A gelatinous wonderland of richness! Legend!
Added to my bucket list.!
The pastrami rib!!!!😍🤤
Yes finally new ideas for BBQ coming from Texas
why would you reverse the shot at 10:03 ?
That BBQ looks amazing. The dedication & attention to detail is what brings it all together. I wish Texas was near lol
Gelatinous wonderland of richness 😍
J. Bates talks food like it's a contact sport 🥊
I want to experience a gelatinous wonderland of richness
Next time I head down to visit the Crowded Barrel Distillery I am going to have to stop in and try y’all out! That beef rib looks great.
I like Warren! Also that food looks amazing. I want a pastrami rib Sammie so bad.
Merry Christmas btw!
I need more warren in my life
Food looks great!
Looks good but what I can't move past is one question. What is going on with Wardogs head? Is that some kind of LED headband?
11:17 So a "smoked turkey breast" at Interstellar is actually a chicken thigh?
is this place a 6 hr plus wait like the other Austin bbq place?
9:55 i thought he was gonna say something like: "it´s brisket time", but then he went ahead and just told the actual time.
I live across the street. It’s as good as you think it is.
Thank you for video
That looks scrumptious.
I’ve never been to Austin. It is now on my list just to get that beef rib 😋
Warren G aka the regulator 🔥🔥🔥
That all looked so darn good and that tart to top it off was amazing!!
Very good video 👍📸
All that food looks delicious
와우 텍사스 바베큐는 언제봐도 먹음직스럽네요~!! 색깔도 진하게 보여지는게 언제나 사랑스러워 보이는 바베큐입니다 -^^
텍사스에 꼭 방문해서 오리지널의 맛을 느껴보고 싶네요 ㅎㅎ
Chk my new status sluprinh
NEEDS 2 B IN ENGLISH. YOU ARE, AFTER ALL, POSTING TO AMERICAN CHANNEL...
@@majoroldladyakamom6948 It doesn't 'need' to be anything. He could type in ancient Latin for all RUclips cares.
EDIT: For the record, the comment praises Texas BBQ and expresses how they want to try it one day.
Mine shows translate to English and I just tap that and presto it's in English
How much for the combo platter? 😋😋
What’s the item called on the thumbnail of this video?
I’ll be trying this pronto!
They are living my dream.
Wardog needs his own show.
*OMG freaking phenomenal spot to place on my Bucket list see ya soon my friends at Austin's Interstellar BBQ! Hey, that smoke ring to bite into that!*
Yall are the bbq place next to the Korean bbq restaurant!!!! I was eating there the other day and noticed the bbq joint next door I regret my meal decision 😫
Great! These guys must be working at NASA
Nice to see a twist on beef ribs recipe.
What’s the song at 1:00
The one thing I miss about America right now is BBQ. Being stationed overseas sucks sometimes
Google maps you can see Wardog hangin by the smokers
Warren G funk era! Lol 😂 man I wanna try that spot it looks great!
Wardog likes a good curl after his heavy meals.
Looks great, cool Vibe too
Interstellar really is *out of this world!* 😋
I want to try this
That beef rib looks amazing
Not a mole fan. But love BBQ and would try it.
WTH,,,Where is this place at? I don't want to die without trying it out!
