The way he details the 'what' and the 'why' and that he has an unmistakable passion and enthusiasm about it all are the hallmarks of a true master of the craft. You don't easily get tired of watching and listening to him, with what he has to show and say.

He makes a great point about barbecue being unbalanced - it's delicious, but it's all heavy and fatty. If you add acidity and crispness in the sides, it makes a huge difference.
Depends on the people eating really some people don’t care about balance they just wanna eat, but as a food professional yes I agree with everything you have said lol
Just about the most well spoken and informative pitmasters i've seen. He's offering advice that takes years to learn for free. And as someone Lebanese also familiar with Texas BBQ, i'm telling you you have to try the Lamb. Also, 10/10 Mustache. Just an excellent episode all around.
I love this guy's attitude and overall aura. You can tell he is truly down to earth. It must have taken a lot of courage to not only quit his career, but also move across the world just to pursue BBQ. I also love that he honors and respects the art and tradition of Texas Style BBQ, while being brave enough to step out of the norm and diversify his menu to his liking. Definitely will try some day!
Seriously, couldn’t be more correct. Audibly said to myself the amount of free game he’s giving out is amazing. Super cool he does classes just out of passion and paying his dues. Really cool guy
@@TheSTB9 that's what struck me too. Usually BBQ masters are secretive AF. Not just things like spice and sauce mixes (which he is giving away just not increments) but he's talking about fire control and hot spots and 'the stall' and really getting into the practical day to day effort for prep they do. I feel like I took a 1 session class.
This looks amazing. And without tryna sound too weird. This is what America is all about. Super cool to see an Egyptian dude blend Texan BBQ and create a whole new style. I want to try it!
the Texas-Egyptian fusion food we didn't know we needed! really appreciate the care, respect, and passion this guy has! best of luck with your amazing looking food
I've been here, and it is fantastic. They don't mention it, but the trailer is situated in the parking lot of an excellent brewery making for a really nice combo. So happy they're getting a very well deserved spotlight!
This is what America is all about!!! This dude was motivated by his passion and brought his culture with him, mixed and integrated it into Texas BBQ, adding to its greatness. Amplify this message!
I love that he’s taking Texas BBQ and putting his own spin on it. It looks amazing and I’d definitely stop there when in Austin. He’s also so personable and smart too!
I spent a lot fo time in Egypt in the 70's, Kareem is just so like the locals I met traveling there, smiling, great natured and industrious... Best of luck!
I think you meant to say “the number of *Americans* who’ve never had lamb before“. It is the least popular meet of consumption in the United States, yet it is the most popular grilled meat on the planet, and there is a reason why it is so popular. It is absolutely fantastic!
@@paulmaseman2171 you're correct; I thought lamb was ubiquitous when I was a kid, but many Americans rarely eat it. Goat is also rare, here. (I'm generalizing, bc many cultures and communities go for both)
Not exactly. In Northern parts of East Asia there's lamb. It's a classic for hotpot in China. It's common where there's pasture. Less common than chicken and pork given the cost. But super common in muslim regions. @@SafeEffective-ls2pl
Giving back what he’s learnt and doing a killer job at it, is the most beautiful part of this video. This is how food gets passed down generation after generation, amazing people like this 👏
He's the whole package: a butcher, a cook and a pitmaster in one + he has a unique selling point (his middle-eastern flavours and meat options). On top of that, his bread is definitely so much better than any spongy bread is mostly used in other BBQ joints.
I love Mediterranean food. All of them are similar but different. All I know, no matter if you’re Egyptian, Lebanese, Greek, Turkish, etc.. they know how to cook lamb! 🤤
Loved this place when I tried it a few months ago, everything was great. But weirdly the biggest surprise was just how delicious their yellow rice is by itself is, magic stuff.
I really like that he learned traditional bbq and really honors the craft as its done in texas! the way he brought his eastern culture and palate is super respectful, what a master! I can't wait to try this truck next time I'm in austin.
OMG that lamb shoulder... I freakin love reframing existing american traditions with new cultures .. diversity in culture and thought makes everything better. I can't wait to try swing by and try it out!
I just discovered Egyptian food by chance about a week ago. Ended up doing homemade Baba Ganoush and Hawawshi last night and both turned out excellent. It's amazing to see a guy with such passion, as well as creativity to meld two very different food cultures.
I love this dude. I know a lot of people who've migrated to the US but this guy has fully embraced the culture to the next level 😂 love it 👏 even the style on point. Will definitely go to his spot next time I'm in Texas
@@bonaface It is obvious in his passion and consideration of others. He doesn't just care about himself. He's smart too, a sure give away that he's a democrat!
While you it seems like every pit master or BBQ’er has some mild variations in their creations, I love that this guy throws out all the rules and basically just brings his homes flavors to freaking Texas of all places! I hope that this guy is wildly successful, definitely seems like an intuitive hard worker and just overall pleasant person, cheers mate!
And if you pay attention, you can clearly see that he is not “throwing out all the rules“. He trims a brisket as Aaron Franklin would, and basically uses a Dalmatian rub, very traditional for Texas brisket cooking.
Excellent docu. Humility is his best asset, as someone before me said. the best part of the video? When he flicked the plastic cup over his head! Priceless!
Such an impressive and talented gentleman, who is very passionate about his trade! I hope he continues to have much success, while he enjoys creating amazing food!
BBQ really is an art. I just got my smoker this summer and gave brisket a try. You can’t just follow a recipe like most other cooking, you really need to feel the meat and understand when it’s ready. Just takes time and experience. It’s also very complicated and a long process lol totally worth it tho
Very informative. Love how professional and generous he was with his knowledge. It's awesome how he embraced the Texas BBQ culture while also finding a way to honor his heritage.
My mother was born in Mexico and my MIL born in Taiwan. They both have cowboy boots and embrace Texas culture while honoring their foreign roots. This gentleman makes my heart swell with pride that he is both honoring Texas traditions while incorporating his own background. I am proud to call him a fellow Texan.
Absolutely nice to see somebody given an international twist to Texan BBQ. Love the passion the pitmaster has and how he indeed make refreshing sides rather than the boring traditional sides by all the other joints. Well done habibi (y)
this is really beautiful im egyptian and you made me proud to be one. i really like the food. it looks delicious. the chef seems nice with his lovely personality and egyptian accent. i hope you're donig great now😊
He makes me want to travel to Texas and learn his Egyptian style of BBQ. Not to mention try everything on the menu. Your setup and menu combinations are amazing. Thank you for the video.
Very generous with his information. A true teacher ❤ Thank you
