The problem with the food service industry across the country is inconsistency & cutting corners. And just because you host Sunday dinner for the family or are the cookout champ in the family doesn't mean you need a restaurant.
I see it all the time. The key is to cook for total strangers or people who aren't family or friends and watch their reactions to your food. When people you don't know are telling you they would buy your food or constantly requesting it from you like a bag of exotic weed, it maybe time. But no, the cookout warrior on the weekends INVITING people over for FREE food is not that guy.
East St Louis is my home. Welcome to my city. I’m disappointed that you didn’t have a good experience. I wish you could have tried Sandy’s on the South Side. I pray that you return and are able to get some good Q. Also C&K BBQ in St Louis is equally as delicious. Two BBQ establishments, owned by families that are staples in our respective communities. Safe travels and take care. ❤🥰🔥
Man you can take one look at the google pages for places like that and see the food is trash. If you insist on trying barbecue primarily-- Pappy's is the best ribs in STL, Bogart's a close second. A TON of people have been telling you to go to Sugarfire, the owner is a winner from Beat Bobby Flay and the food is really good there but it's more new age barbecue.
I don’t know who telling him to go to these spots they got my boy on the hood food circuit tour I’m from there and wouldn’t ever think to eat at these spots
To be fair he made pretty much nothing but whack ass choices of where to eat. He didn't go to Chinatown off 170, didn't go to the hill, he made some awful picks
Idk where bro even went. I haven't lived in STL for about 8 years now but still you would think I'd recognize some of these places he went to. I don't remember STL BBQ being that baf
Brother Chimetime, let me fill you in on Big Mama's. When Belleville, Illinois was around 75% white a place called Big Mama's opened up to give US a place to get Black people BBQ in a white city. They then moved to the hood (East St. Louis) my hometown! To be honest they are nowhere good as a place called Sandy's that was around in the 80s/ 90s. They always mess up my food too. I've eaten there about five times. You are right a lot of places here depend on that sauce, but a lot of these other places depend on that liquid smoke. Avoid Bandanas for that reason. You can taste the liquid smoke.
Why do think that you need to look through a race lens at food? Black people BBQ? How about GOOD BBQ? I have eaten plenty of BBQ and all other foods cooked by white, black, and Mexican people in Texas. The color of the cook never matters. What does matter is whether or not the cook can cook great food. Please elaborate as to what Black people BBQ is?
@@zrx338 bc rarely ever do white people cook shit thats as flavorful as black peoples food. Only southern white people can match up to black peoples cooking, and even then its rare that they actually season their food
I’m not from St. Louis but when I was there years ago, Pappy’s steakhouse was damn GOODT!! So good that we brought some back home to Cleveland, Ohio. I know you don’t normally do already popular joints, but if you’re just looking for good food at this point, that’s the place to go
Exactly. They usually sell out and close down early because the line is usually out the door. Definitely a spot I would have went to just to see what the hype was about.
@shespeakz9377 When did he go there? It wasn't in his recent videos. How deep far back do I have to look to find the video? I'm just asking because when me and my uncle went to Pappy's Smokehouse back in 2021, behore I started doing food reviews myself. The food was really good, especially the ribs! I'm not saying that it's better than they are in Texas, but it was really good. So it would be good to hear his bad review on Pappy's to see if their quality has changed since I went in Sep '21.
@dmdm9198 My taste buds are just fine. It's missed up that he aired the video of Pappy's today, and it really did not look anything like that when I went 3 years ago. From the way that video turned out, I would want to eat there myself. But I can truly say whoever is back there prepping the meats, especially the brisket, should be fired on the spot. The brisket I had was sliced 1/3 inch thick. It was juicy and seasoned well. The ribs were also seasoned well and was Fall Off The Bone. If I was a UA-camr back then, I would have given them a 7.8/10. But seeing his video on them earlier today and watching how bad the quality went down on their food, I would have been a little bit more generous and gave them a 1.1/10!
I haven't seen a video of the top BBQ places in St. Louis and proceeds to say "St.Louis bqq sucks"! This Dude! Went to 3 hole in the wall joints and labels the WHOLE city. Chime is not serious or credible.
Hell Nall...Don't blame that on all of Illinois...come to Chicago if you not scare....go to I 57...it's one of my favorites...bloves too! Watch one of her i 57 videos.....

Oh no he'll skip those spots and go to places you never heard of like this crap he just did in STL. No one goes to the places he chose or heard of them.
Facts on the sauce take. Covers up all the discrepancies and imperfections. Super fast grilling is the technique in the region. Been saying it of over 15 years. Good que dont need no sauce.

Aye I’m an East Saint native. U should try mauis seafood and east side rice house. At mauis they got good fried shrimp and catfish. East side rice house has some good fried rice and wontons. I’m not a huge fan of big mamas bbq and I have the same opinion on big mamas😂😂😂. Caribbean delight in Saint Louis is also a decent spot

Amen!!! Quality BBQ doesn't need sauce! The last brisket I ordered, which was lean instead of fatty, was so dry and flavorless that I ended up throwing it away. Unfortunately, the sides weren't any better; the mac and cheese, greens, and potato salad all followed suit. Even the banana pudding was a disappointment and ended up in the trash as well.
Im from Brazil and i always hear how people from US doesnt likes to put seasoning on the food and tries to hide it with either some generic sauce, salt or cheese

Someone finally said it!!! I'm from Arkansas. I've been to St Louis, Branson, and Kansas City. Arkansas BBQ is why better. They need to stop the lies about Missouri BBQ.
My mom runs AJs smashed and smoked in belleville illinois. It would sure help business a lot!! You would love the burgers there and my mom would appreciate it so much!!!!
You HAVE to go to either Pappy's or Sugarfire Smoke House in St. Louis. Trust me!!!!!!!!! I'm from Chicago and drove to St. Louis often to visit friends.
If youre going to Illinois just go to Bills Toasty in Taylorville and get that famous burger w some cheese balls. 96 yr old diner…Never went out of business and the town has seen countless restaurants come and go. So you know its good shit.
I'm from St. Louis, and for me bbq is in the backyard with friends and family, not a business. Bbq is fun and done because you love to. Not to make money doing it and that is why so many places go out of business was good before and then don't care anymore. Real good bbq places are hard to find. But real bbq is at home not a restaurant.
Try Lem's in Chicago. Closed on Tuesday, try the Rib Tips. Wilma's Famous BBQ, Smoque BBQ on the Northside is Texas Style, Bub City is Memphis Style. The Patio is Memphis and Texas Style BBQ try ribs, chicken, pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket. Meat Moot Smoking it's Halal.
Im from Saint Louis and I eat weekly at a differnt restaurant. From my experience Saint Louis has some really good food places. What I have ran it to is the inconsistence and lack of care in the quality of food in some places. On day it is good the next week it is not the same. Not sure what is going on. According to NY times and other reputable sources STL does have an above average food scene. I looked up the rating on Big Mamas BBQ Express and it has a 43 rating out of 1657 review. Again this is a result of the inconsistent service and lack of care when preparing food. Let me say this also the more an establishment is a hole in the wall joint the worse the service and food will be ijs. Saint Louis we have to do better. Our city has to become known for more than just crime and violence.
Because he didn't. Who goes to Illinois and NOT try the restaurants in Chicago? That's like going to California and instead of heading over to LA you then decide to hit Amador city, hate the food, and use that spot to represent the entire state.
@@Glassessssstop getting in the comments talking about Chicago. Damn, the man is 4.5 hrs from Chicago, there are restaurants in the southern part of Illinois that are edible, he went to places that aren't that great.
I'm a big fan, I hope to bump into you while you are here. I'm from East Saint Louis but I live in St, IL but I live in St Louis, MO now just across the river . Check out King Prince in St Louis if you want some GOOOD barbecue, there is also good chinese at the rice house. The best chicken wings are in E,St Louis on State St. at Kam Wah Chop Suey.
Wow. And I recommended this joint too. He right thou. We do get that BBQ with the sauce on it. I ain't ever had they ribs or pork steak without the sauce. Damn I'm sorry bruh.
I feel the same way about sauce. I like the taste of meat that has not been tainted by sauce. Therefore the meat has to be cooked right from the get-go
I'd love to tab up some decent spots in Oregon if you ever get out this far. Tho by the time you find your way out here, they could be gone at the rate the world's goin lol
BBQ Is Not What St.Louis Is Famous For Chime Them Spots U Went To Was Horrible Have U Ever Heard Of A St. Paul They Make Them At The Rice Houses Go To Hong Kong On Jefferson And Order One House Special Fried Rice And Peking Duck Etc..Nothing LIKE IT. Fa Fa..💪🏾💯
I lived in St Charles, on the other side of St Louis across the MO river as a traveling nurse in 2018. The best BBQ I found was at a place called Sugarfire Smoke House. I also went to Kansas City, where the real MO BBQ can be found. Great brisket and burnt ends, reach out if you go there.

Not to make money doing it and that is why so many places go out of business was good before and then don't care anymore. Real good bbq places are hard to find. But real bbq is at home not a restaurant.
East St. Louis and St. Louis Missouri are 2 different places. If you want Illinois' best bbq go to Chicago
They need to do several episodes of Kitchen Nightmares up there lol
Try Lem's in Chicago. Closed on Tuesday, try the Rib Tips. Wilma's Famous BBQ, Smoque BBQ on the Northside is Texas Style, Bub City is Memphis Style. The Patio is Memphis and Texas Style BBQ try ribs, chicken, pulled pork, pulled chicken and brisket. Meat Moot Smoking it's Halal.
I’ve eaten there. I would’ve never sent him to a BBQ joint near here.
Im from Saint Louis and I eat weekly at a differnt restaurant. From my experience Saint Louis has some really good food places. What I have ran it to is the inconsistence and lack of care in the quality of food in some places. On day it is good the next week it is not the same. Not sure what is going on. According to NY times and other reputable sources STL does have an above average food scene. I looked up the rating on Big Mamas BBQ Express and it has a 43 rating out of 1657 review. Again this is a result of the inconsistent service and lack of care when preparing food. Let me say this also the more an establishment is a hole in the wall joint the worse the service and food will be ijs. Saint Louis we have to do better. Our city has to become known for more than just crime and violence.
the Illinois FBA delegation wont be liking this review, they gone say you aint goin to the "right" spots bro lol
Because he didn't. Who goes to Illinois and NOT try the restaurants in Chicago? That's like going to California and instead of heading over to LA you then decide to hit Amador city, hate the food, and use that spot to represent the entire state.
@@Glassessssstop getting in the comments talking about Chicago. Damn, the man is 4.5 hrs from Chicago, there are restaurants in the southern part of Illinois that are edible, he went to places that aren't that great.
I'm a big fan, I hope to bump into you while you are here. I'm from East Saint Louis but I live in St, IL but I live in St Louis, MO now just across the river . Check out King Prince in St Louis if you want some GOOOD barbecue, there is also good chinese at the rice house. The best chicken wings are in E,St Louis on State St. at Kam Wah Chop Suey.
Wow. And I recommended this joint too. He right thou. We do get that BBQ with the sauce on it. I ain't ever had they ribs or pork steak without the sauce. Damn I'm sorry bruh.
That intro was crazy
Bro I keep telling you on every video to try Boba-Que in New Town St Louis!!! You not listening!!! LOL
St Louis has no good food in general. It's a ghost town. Their pizza is unbelievably bad
That chuckle means it's horrible!😂
If your in illlinois and don’t come to Chicago to eat, that’s on you bruh 🤷🏽♀️
He hitting all the bad spots who giving him these places ?? 😂 yall need him to get some fried rice and a chicken St. Paul
I feel the same way about sauce. I like the taste of meat that has not been tainted by sauce. Therefore the meat has to be cooked right from the get-go
GO TO UNCLE REMUS CHICKEN IN CHICAGO ILLINOIS 🔥🔥🔥
When you are in Indiana hit me up. Some of the best BBQ anywhere in the world brother!!!!
I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂
Nooooooo East St Louis is the hood too! 😂
That brisket looked like peeled truck tire
Gave him a sandwich when he didn't ask for one, burnt the bread 😂😂😂, gave him burnt cows tongue instead of brisket, and unseasoned boiled ribs
I'd love to tab up some decent spots in Oregon if you ever get out this far. Tho by the time you find your way out here, they could be gone at the rate the world's goin lol
BBQ Is Not What St.Louis Is Famous For Chime Them Spots U Went To Was Horrible Have U Ever Heard Of A St. Paul They Make Them At The Rice Houses Go To Hong Kong On Jefferson And Order One House Special Fried Rice And Peking Duck Etc..Nothing LIKE IT. Fa Fa..💪🏾💯
I lived in St Charles, on the other side of St Louis across the MO river as a traveling nurse in 2018. The best BBQ I found was at a place called Sugarfire Smoke House. I also went to Kansas City, where the real MO BBQ can be found. Great brisket and burnt ends, reach out if you go there.
Naw homey!! You need to come to Chicago IL!!! This right here is in the sticks! Quit playing!!!😂
