The beauty of American BBQ is how there are many styles to doctoring up your meat, so it makes me happy to see good Texas style BBQ that has a hint of Dominican flair to it in NYC. Being a purist can limit you from the possibilities that a style of cooking can give you.

Thank you munchies for celebrating guys like this, that’s what food culture is all about

What an exceptional human being. A thriving business man with a great work ethic who is keeping his family roots alive through cooking. Thank you #Munchies for always bringing us the forgotten stories of people who make the world a better place to live in.

Without actually meeting him I know he's the real deal. His story is the same I always here from the great pitmaster's, humble, don't call themselves pitmaster. Even slightly embarrassed when others do call him a pitmaster. His ingredients, techniques and how about that nice 500 gallon offset smoker, very nice. And yes,putting in the love. For those who don't know, he needs to feed that beast of a smoker about once a hour one or two "splits" of firewood through the entire cook/night so the meat is just right. Well done sir, and well done Munchies. Everyone have a great day 🌤

As a South Texan: That boy is gettin it. You can see his cookery is spot on. Telltale signs: how supple is the fat; does the meat glisten; does a brisket fold over into itself when held upright. He checks all them boxes. 👍 *_TEXAS APPROVED_* Edit, PSA: All you newbies getting your grill stripes-- brine, brine, brine. Put your brisket in a cooler with 2-3 gallons of brining liquid and a 20 pound bag of ice dumped on top. Leave it for 24-36 hours. If you plan to smoke turkey ... BRINE IT. Trust me on that.

I Don't understand why your West Indian Heritage makes you want to do Texas barbecue but your Southern FBA Heritage didn't. This dude is doing BARBECUE. Jerk chicken is a Caribbean form of BARBECUE and we have many regional styles here. He just picked Texas because most NYC residents are immigrants so it's gimmicky. That's probably more Mississippi Style or Alabama. I hope you do start a Spot it might give you more PRIDE in your America Lineage. Maybe you could research Barbecue in the States your people come from first. Peace Sister ✌🏾

This dude is a badass

I grew up in Austin... worked is a hole in the wall BBQ joint about 1980. Brisket, butts, chicken and sausage. Thumbs up buddy.. you got the spirit. Stay with it. 40 yrs later people still tell me how good the meat is. Keep doing what you love.👍

Spread love it’s the Brooklyn Way💯 definitely need to get this 💯💪🏼

The hat, the vibe? Nice!!! 🤙

I'm always biking over to wherever Bark BBQ is. They'll sell out of brisket in 90 minutes sometimes because people line up for it. I'll see Ruben at Alewife Brewery on Saturday!!!

Great video! This has been in my recommendations for a couple of days and I was about to mark it not interested but something told me to watch it and I'm glad I did. Food looks great and Ruben's story is inspiring. Good work!
