I went for the first time. Drove for 2 hours. Julio treated us like he knew us , and broke everything down.We spoke in Spanglish😂. Super cool.The food was phenomenal. I went to Austin, and this place is up with them. Wish you much success!

yeah its all love out there! Ruben was pretty adamant about highlighting Jase, i thought it was really cool too!

Ant is such a "slept-on" talent with the camera. His cinematography is top notch. Can't wait for his channel to explode and be recognized.

My buddy willson was lead camera for this one! I used a lot of his shots he's got a real talent for it. He also helped me on the Ray's video that came out last and the Bar A that's coming soon!

Within the first 20 seconds, I could feel the passion and love these guys have for their craft. You can't ask for more. Cooking is a form of expressing love, prove me wrong?

Great story about an ambitious young man. I applaud him for his hard work and determination to succeeding in his business.

you know the brothers got passion when he names his smokers😂 love it❤

I'm planning a culinary trip from Sweden to the U.S and the main draw is the BBQ. I've eaten BBQ all around Europe and Asia but there is simply no competition when it comes to American BBQ. Been saving up for the past years through covid so I have no regrets in what and where I want to eat. Thank you for your channel and all others in the community showing great places for me to visit!

This is so awesome! I love the customer focus. The food looks incredible. The Texas style BBQ will bring them to the yard, but the Latin dishes will keep them coming back time and again.🎉🎉

@luminousnyc I love seeing Ruben's new staff. Anybody in the industry knows how important it is to have a good consistent staff doing perfect things every day. And its awesome to see he was able to do it as he said, he never worked in food service, but he's always been able to provide top notch food and service since the pop-ups he ran at the local breweries here in Queens. Love to see Bark BBQ progress so much since then. Hope to see it at TimeOut Market this Friday since I'll be in the area.

JDDeMotte As a KC native, I've been around bbq all my life. I'm not so full of myself to consider myself an expert on BBQ, but I know enough to recognize good barbecue. And Barks looks impressive. I love seeing someone fuse other cultures' food with an established classic to make something new and exciting. Totally want to try the platanos/fried cheese one. #ANTSBBQ

CookedByEj Yooo Ant! long time sub brother! your content always keeps getting better and better and i love it! My favorite part of the video is when your interviewing the workers, the different personalities in the restaurant add another vibe on top of this video. i also like the end where he says bark is going to be here for a while because you can tell he genuinely means it. Sometimes in the food industry you hear oh we're going to be the next big this or oh my restaurant is that but with him, i can tell he means it. Hopefully you pick me and i enjoy your channel! Peace brother! #Antsbbq

I finally had a chance to check out Bark. Thank you for the recommendation. It's nice to say that's there's finally delicious BBQ in New York City. I was lucky they had Beef Ribs today. You can't find them anywhere here.

Wow! I never knew this place exists in Brooklyn. I’m happy to see Texas style bbq making its way in my hometown. Will need to visit for sure. Thanks for creating this video. Netflix needs to call you about doing these specials. Keep them coming Ant! Favorite part of the video was Ruben explaining how his first brisket cook was horrendous and it led him to take a step back to build his fire management skills and then do a backyard pop up cookout. It has encouraged me to do the same thing so I can learn my pit and fire management. JayTheGourmet #ANTSBBQ

Good morning all congratulations first of all for your barbecue business. I’m a new to the social media family through U-Tube and just watched your story and I’ve never been to NY but when I visit I’ll make sure to find you and chow down. I’m born and raised in DC but live in NC and by this state supposed to be the capital of barbecue where I live the joints I’ve been to sucks in my opinion. So again Kudos to you and I’ll keep following you and by the way the Brisket I can taste through the screen. Gary G

How is this channel not over a 100k subs yet!

brims_and_brisket_bbq My fave part(s) of the video was him telling the story of how he started in the backyard and showing that CharBroil offset lol, and the narration of how he runs his business. I like the fact that he chooses not to take himself so serious because although the passion drives us to cook, the hours are long and hard at times and fostering a fun atmosphere keeps things going. #ANTSBBQ
