I made my first visit to Truth in Houston this week, and they are truly special. I got a 3-meat plate (brisket point, ribs, and turkey) and two sides (collard greens and corn pudding). Though I am a hard sell when it comes to BBQ, it was honestly the best plate of BBQ I've ever eaten. The brisket was well rendered and perfectly seasoned. The ribs, with picture perfect bark, were delicious. The turkey was moist, buttery, and flavorful. And the collard greens and corn pudding passed the Alabama test with flying colors. And to top it off, the staff are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. One of the waiters told some regulars, "See you tomorrow." I wish I could have gone back with them. Leonard and the gang rock!
Such a great video. Both of you understand how to break the cook down analytically, and pivoted on that new start up in Houston. I've eaten so much average BBQ commercially, and you can tell the pit master is stuck in his/her ways, and won't change/pivot to produce a better brisket. (What are you spritzing those briskets with?)
Hey Mighty Joe, I always look forward to every new video you post. With that being said, I haven't seen any new videos since this one. I hope all is well and you are doing good.
Hey MJY three things, love these breakdown videos and this one is excellent, two does Elliot Moss have any content on YT? Lastly, I do not see the Brenham behind the scenes link. Would love to watch that as well please.
MJY, addendum to my previous entry. I did fine dining for years and I still have not watched The Bear, I feel you all the way. However, my comedic therapy for this is the movie “Big Night.” I always find a chuckle in that movie.
hopefully someone will make an updated video about the new leroy and lewis location. if that happens I will, but right now it would just be me talking and I don't think that would make for a great video. also if you haven't, you can watch my 4 videos of walking with the new leroy and lewis and the other two videos of cooking with brad.
Dude, cool video. Very inspiring. I'm in the process of creating my first rub and I am being so hard on myself trying to make it unique - but delicious. Not quite the same, but you get what I am saying. Also makes me wish I could go back 50 years and try the original BBQ's etc. And yeah, you may be Knox Ave but I always sing your name like Brad 🤣🤣
Awesome video, Truth is one of my favorites. The brisket troubleshooting is very interesting to me. I’m always looking at the flaws and thinking about how to adjust a cook for better results.
Truth is probably my favorite Bbq spot! Sooo freakin good! (I’ve had just about every BBQ spot. I’m in ft worth so access to pretty good BBQ all around)
Elliot Moss started Buxton Hall BBQ in Asheville, NC. It was an incredible place and is now closed. Their food was incredible and the pork was just perfect. I picked up his cookbook and always wanted it signed but it never happened. Whole hog is an art form.
Truth in Houston are my favorite spare ribs I've ever had. And I've been to Franklin and goldee's and some other txm top 50 spots. Truth has the ribs on lock they're not lying when they say that guy cooks some of the best ribs in the state
Is there something the Houston BBQ places do different in their sausage than north texas/oklahoma? I find the beef sausage in the Houston area is often denser and drier than what I find farther north.
Leonard's parents were the best restaurateurs in Lake Jackson. They had two very successful restaurants. One thing you didn't mention about Truth is the level of excellence in the sides they prepare. I doubt any other top BBQ restaurant could rival their sides menu.
@@knoxavebbq It's funny that Truth came up today in a convo with a coworker. The first question she asked was how are their sides. I reminded her of Cafe Laredo and Cafe Aniece in LJ and she commented as most do, I miss those restaurants.
I think the term pitmaster gets thrown around, so frequently nowadays, in my opinion. This video takes you into the mind of what being a pitmaster really is.
Houston has a sleeper Q joint called Rosemeyer BBQ. I think it beats Truth. Thats saying a lot because Truth is my #1. I have not been to Interstellar or Goldies, but been to everyplace else worth a mention.
It seems they didn’t have enough airflow into the room for the pits which caused backflow. Hence the adding of windows. If he just screened the walls, there probably wouldnt have had those issues.
I can’t tell you how much I love your videos! Not only the tech stuff but the whole bbq experience! Working the pit, the relationships, the restaurant grind! You bring it all to life!Thank you and keep up your great videos! Mike45acp
@knoxavebbq loved this video. My family and I are taking a vacation to Galveston TX the week of the 28th of Sept and we plan to head to Houston to try @truthbbq for the first time.

Such cool insight into the process of figuring out the new pit room… awesome experience you guys gained, cool to get to learn some of it secondhand
You learn the most when things aren’t quite going right. Haha.

One will be coming soon!
This was a good video! Really enjoyed it. This video is definitely a reminder at how much work goes into running a restaurant, particularly bbq.
Yup. It’s not just about being able to cook. There’s a lot that goes into it.

Brad ruined me because every time I see you I start singing "Joe Yim, Joe Yim, Joe Yim, Joe Yiiiiiiiim" in my best Dolly voice lol
@@1974billym haha. He truly is an influencer

Truth and its mastermind Leonard are amazing master bbq chefs. Must have been a real honor for you that they let you work for them.
It was. I’ve been fortunate to meet and cook along side some of the best which makes me feel confident in my own abilities.
Awesome vid. It’s apparent that you have a good connection with Leroy n Lewis. Also with Chuds. Give the back story on that. Much love!

definitely. thanks for watching
Without a doubt one of your best videos love the content love the bear show as well haha
Appreciate it! Means a lot.
Truth is probably my favorite Bbq spot! Sooo freakin good! (I’ve had just about every BBQ spot. I’m in ft worth so access to pretty good BBQ all around)
fort worth definitely got an upgrade in bbq in the last few years. thanks for watching

He’s a great guy. He gave me a signed copy of his book before left. It was an honor.
Mighty Joe? Where you been bruv? I have algorithms for you.
Still waiting to try your chopped cheese, bro!
Great video
Special order only for you
Truth in Houston are my favorite spare ribs I've ever had. And I've been to Franklin and goldee's and some other txm top 50 spots. Truth has the ribs on lock they're not lying when they say that guy cooks some of the best ribs in the state
I agree. That’s my guy
Is there something the Houston BBQ places do different in their sausage than north texas/oklahoma? I find the beef sausage in the Houston area is often denser and drier than what I find farther north.
can't say. i dont think there's a specific type of sausage that's made for the area.
Great video. Thanks for sharing your insight👍😊
thanks for watching!
For the algorithms bay bay!!!
Which brand smoker seems to be the most popular among Texas pitmasters?
Mil scale, cen Tex, moberg, primitive just to name a few.
I can't imagine having to cook in that houston heat & humidity 🥵
yup. it was pretty brutal in the summer. haha.
Leonard's parents were the best restaurateurs in Lake Jackson. They had two very successful restaurants. One thing you didn't mention about Truth is the level of excellence in the sides they prepare. I doubt any other top BBQ restaurant could rival their sides menu.
I would’ve talked about them if they featured them in the video. Haha.
@@knoxavebbq It's funny that Truth came up today in a convo with a coworker. The first question she asked was how are their sides. I reminded her of Cafe Laredo and Cafe Aniece in LJ and she commented as most do, I miss those restaurants.
Great video and thanks for sharing
Appreciate you watching!
We went to the one on 290 going from austin to spring tx and was not too impressed..
Sorry to hear. I’d check out the Houston location if you get a chance. Thanks for watching.
@@knoxavebbq have you heard of Pinkertons in San Antonio? Kick ass bbq
@@chrishabgood8900I have. The original location is in Houston.
Awesome!
👍
Joe! I am so glad that Bradley introduced me to you. You work with the kings. I appreciate what you share.
Appreciate you watching.
I think the term pitmaster gets thrown around, so frequently nowadays, in my opinion. This video takes you into the mind of what being a pitmaster really is.
yup. it's always been overused, but it's just an easy term to use when explaining who's do the real work. haha.
Houston vs everybody
This is just one person’s opinion but I think Houston is a better food city. But just bbq I think Austin has Houston beat.
@@knoxavebbq I know we can’t compete with Austin on bbq but I know we have good food out here, we’re very diverse with deep roots
Game on!
Houston has a sleeper Q joint called Rosemeyer BBQ. I think it beats Truth. Thats saying a lot because Truth is my #1. I have not been to Interstellar or Goldies, but been to everyplace else worth a mention.
What does he mean by " the room would have been screened in, no vent hoods." No enclosed walls???
Kind of like how you seen pits on trailers that are encased but have screen walls.
It seems they didn’t have enough airflow into the room for the pits which caused backflow. Hence the adding of windows. If he just screened the walls, there probably wouldnt have had those issues.
Wad up
I can’t tell you how much I love your videos! Not only the tech stuff but the whole bbq experience! Working the pit, the relationships, the restaurant grind! You bring it all to life!Thank you and keep up your great videos!

appreciate it. just trying to give you guys more than what most ppl would give you just as customers
