Great to be back for season 3 of BBQ Story! I truly appreciate the immense support for this series. Without the likes, shares and views, this wouldn't be possible to continue, so thank you all. And please keep liking and sharing! Had a blast with Bill, great guy and awesome restaurant. His spot really feels like you've been transported to Texas, and the brisket is easily the best in Nashville! Hope y'all come out and show him some love and visit his restaurant. His info will be in the description box. See y'all next week where I follow up with episode 2 of Behind the Smoke at Moo's Craft BBQ. Take care 🤠
Ant love all the exposed, I have a burning question when you do these documentaries and you eat at the end. Do you have to pay for the food. God bless you Ant keep up the good work.
This video could not have hit more at home with me. I’m 51, about to officially launch myself into the bbq industry here in Upstate, Ny. I’m scared shitless, but also have never been more excited in my life. I just know I have to give it a shot or I’ll look back one day and be saddled with regret. Awesome video, and now I just might need to make a road trip.
@@brandonin_ny I know Norwich quite well, I used to go to Preferred Mutual Insurance there for work before someone else took it over. I wish you the best and good luck!
@@thurmanite77 very cool and I sincerely thank you. Looks like my location will be behind the police station and the post office downtown. If you’re ever back in the area, probably starting next spring, would love for you to check it out 👍🏻
Ant! Can’t tell you how much I love these videos! To see the emotion in some of these pitmasters really shows me that they are artists of their craft!! Please continue these phenomenal videos!!
Having been a fan of Shotguns since the early days I am so happy to see Bill and his crew getting the recognition they deserve. The only thing better than his food is him, his wife and his staff. I remember sitting at the old place munching on brisket when Chris sat came over to check on me and she told me the story of how she got hired. Every single time I look for Mr Tony just to say hi and see how he’s been. Thank you for this episode!
I’ll be in Nashville in November, this will be my first destination. Half for the food & half to support this genuinely good human being that owns this restaurant. Can’t wait see you then
Oh man, I hope you prosper beyond your imagination. The amount of love and enthusiasm you exude is off the chart. And you love and appreciate your staff, and it shows so very much. Another amazing video. Keep it up.
You're fucking awesome ANT! You're showing all of these guys in such an awesome light which helps their light burn brighter and therefore help you burn brighter. You've shown us the ropes and how to do things over the years in your own way, and now you're giving us a glimpse into how the best do things which only further helps everyone else out as a whole. Everyone who watches your channel loves good BBQ and especially Brisket. I think by you now creating documentaries, it gives people the chance to realize that what they have is special and to branch out and realize what they have is special. Not only creating that newer generation of Brisket and BBQ, but to keep the tradition going, and that is greater than anything man. And for that, I thank you. Because in my eyes, there's nothing greater than brisket and just real people cooking real BBQ. It all starts in the backyard of American homes and that's what makes this all so real. Love you ANT!
Ant, this is your best work yet. Simply phenomenal. Thanks for sharing with us. Also - I'm in Abilene, TX and fully appreciate his Harold's Pit BBQ reference. It was the best!
Outstanding video Ant. Showing how a true battler can overcome anything and remain focussed and true. Possibly one of your best stories yet. All the best , Pete in Australia.
Incredible stuff as always ant. Your really do a great job of not only showing off the food but the people behind the food. Easily on of my favorite food related series on UA-cam.
hahaha i was trying to make the video feel like the fastest 20 minutes anyone has felt. Love your feedback :) watch the 2 hour bbq story season 2 if you're hungry for more haha
I love this video and channel so much. Ant, if you're ever back in the Nashville area (or for those of you visiting and reading these comments) I'd advise checking out Single Tree BBQ in Murfreesboro. Charlie who owns Single Tree is that weird blend of machine and artist that all great pit masters embody, running the business, the smoker, serving the community, and also has a podcast. It's honestly some of the best bbq I've ever had in my life, and I'm just lucky enough to live within driving distance.
My go to FAVORITE ribs and brisket and chicken in Nashville. Love what y'all do and I get overly excited when you bring out those beef ribs on Saturdays lol
My friends and I try to go every Friday for "Brisket Friday." I don't have enough compliments or kind words for the food and the people at Shotgun Willies.
Enjoyed the video!! My son lives in Nashville and has been to the old location. Shared your video with him and we plan to eat here together on my next visit to Nashville.
Another banger Ant! I live in Louisville,KY. I can’t find any real Texas BBQ around here, expect my back yard. I’m gonna have to make a trip down to Nashville and get some!
Amen brother I’m 52 and I’m very passionate about barbecue. I’d love to start something up. I’m thinking about chasing a dream right now and I draw hope from your story.
Great show Ant! Do you know if he is using dimensioned firewood lol! Those splits look like they were cut with a laser. Not the oak I'm used to cooking with. Keep them coming brother!
Ant, Another great video! You get to these places outside of Texas before most other UA-camrs. A few questions. What was Bill doing before he opened his restaurant? Where did he actually learn the trade? At least in the video, he does not see to season the sides of his brisket. If so , why not? Finally, his brisket looks like it has a lot of white fat left compared to other top places. Does that mean it was not rendered or he just doesn't trim off as much and wants it there? Maybe using Wagyu beef. Jirby says he hates Wagyu. Keep up the great content!👍
Hey Ben, thanks for watching and for the great questions. He had a bbq truck since 2016 closed momentarily and then reopened around 2020. He had a bakery before that. He seemed to have seasoned the sides. He rolls the brisket in that tub so it has a good coat all over. I think the fat is a wagyu thing. It cooks really fast and the fat is super melty. So even though it looks white it just melts in your mouth. That’s probably why Jonny hates wagyu. I think if you cooked it like a regular brisket it would get mushy but I’m just guessing
Damn, too bad DEM BONEZ is no longer located in Nashville. You should have done a short on those guys. It was hands down the best BBQ i have had in TN and would put them up against some of the top dogs in TX. Either way another great video and content.
Willie bought an old family ranch in San Saba county. Shotgun willies is my favorite tune as well.Fortunily I get to use pecan and mesquite for a local source to each their own I rekn
Yo Ant, when you finally come to GA, in addition to Heirloom Market BBQ we have Owen & Hull BBQ too you got to try. I heard one of the Goldee's Pitmaster's is Pitmaster there and that its as good as Goldee's and Franklin's.
Great video and editing. Only thing I will say is I would personally be pretty off put by the lack of fat render on his brisket. Could use some improvement there.
I also noticed and thought one time to myself how much seasoning Goldies looks like they wasted. Then I thought to myself well they sell it so they probably won’t their consumers to use it like that lol😂

Trying to get better each episode! Appreciate you noticing the small details :)
I eat here about once a month, as I live in Nashville. Great spot.
Thank you for bringing a spotlight to this place. By FAR the best bbq in Nashville.
such an awesome channel, I love these 48 hour showcases.
🙏

Another great video Ant! I love these background stories and how each pit master got where they are and how they mastered their specific BBQ. Cheers!
thank you!
Inspiring story, great characters, brilliant cinematography, 19.7/10
Hahahaha thank you
That real talk at 14:50 is everything!!! God Speed 🙏
Incredible stuff as always ant. Your really do a great job of not only showing off the food but the people behind the food. Easily on of my favorite food related series on UA-cam.
Thank you glad you’re enjoying it! The more people watch the more likely I’m able to find the next one!
such a labor of love. never stop hustling that bbq love .
Ant. Thank you for some awesome videos, love the way you catch every true moment from the pitmaster/owner. From Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
You're hitting these videos out of the park, great job.
thank you!
Only 20mins??? Give us more!! I live about 10mins from these guys. I’m really glad you did a video on them. 2:20
How’s the food?
Bills proteins are excellent! I’d really like to see them put some more effort into the sides though…
hahaha i was trying to make the video feel like the fastest 20 minutes anyone has felt. Love your feedback :) watch the 2 hour bbq story season 2 if you're hungry for more haha

Absolutely Fantastic you can see the passion in that Man.
Ant, this film is a work of art. You could do this for pbs, absolutely beautifully told story.
ANT you have stepped up your game
Love all the recent videos
Thank you for highlighting this man … second time watching so many 💎gems
that's awesome! Glad you enjoyed it enough to watch twice!
My friends and I try to go every Friday for "Brisket Friday." I don't have enough compliments or kind words for the food and the people at Shotgun Willies.
GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS ANT!!
Incredible storytelling on both sides of the camera
I've never been this early to a video. Just wanna say that I love this series! Cheers from a Texas BBQ obsessed dude from The Netherlands!
Glad you're enjoying it! More to come :)
Top notch content bro. Keep them coming 👏🏾🔥🔥
Driving through nashville in December and planning the trip to stop there for lunch on a Saturday.

Thank you! Def check them out if you’re in Nashville
This is a great video! Just awesome.
Super good video, man. This dude is really interesting and I want to thank you for sharing
thanks for watching!
Awesome work, keep it up Ant!
thank you!
An awesome place and really good people! Hattie B’s is my go to for Nashville Hot Chicken!
In that same Goldee's video he's referencing, they said they collect the seasoning on the table for sausage or burgers or something like that.
are you sure? that goldees footage was my own and i didnt see them do that when i was there 🤷♂️
Hey there, I hear you. Covid was tough. I wish you all the best and may Jesus bless you for doing the right thing.
Man after my own heart. H-Town born and raised and doing TX style barbecue in VA
Where in Va brother?

Busch gardens is awesome
Done many 5k runs there and my grandfather lived there for 20 years
Love it. Hope I can make it here someday
ANOTHER VICTORY ROYALE ANT!!

I'm from the Midwest and I absolutely love smoking with white oak.
i love white oak too, its all i have right now :)

Really enjoyed the video Ant. I’m about three hours from Nashville, next time I head that way we are stopping here for sure!
Heck yeah! thank you :)
what a wonderful person
Another banger Ant!
I live in Louisville,KY. I can’t find any real Texas BBQ around here, expect my back yard. I’m gonna have to make a trip down to Nashville and get some!
Bill! Glad to see a video on Shotgun Willie's
😁😁
You had me until you said "Altuve". *Bangs top of trash can*. 🤣
Amen brother I’m 52 and I’m very passionate about barbecue. I’d love to start something up. I’m thinking about chasing a dream right now and I draw hope from your story.
Damn.. smart man. Seasoning inside a tub 👌
Another great video Ant! I feel it ended too abruptly I could have kept watching another 20 mins of you eating that tray!
Bro when it comes to BBQ vlogs you're 👑 another banger 💯🤙🏿
thank you for supporting and watching the series, man! can't do it without you guys
Ant's bbq stories are more than vlogs these are legit mini documentaries
Love Bro! I’m starting my BBQ business down in Tallahassee, Florida next month.
this video. this one got me. amazing.
Love to hear it!
I'm ~25 mins away from Nash, gonna have to check it out.
This got that Alvin zhou vibe. Great stuff
thats a high compliment. hes a huge inspiration for me :) thank you
@@AntsBBQCookout no problem man keep doing your thing. Wish Alvin did more videos too.
That dude is legit!!!
one of the only OG pitmasters from Texas out in Nashville
Another great video!
thank you!

I'm currently jazzed on Owens & Hull in Atlanta... its a must try
Definitely on the list!
i hat that show like this dont get 2million like in the first 1 that this amazing episode come out love your videos brother
Thank you!
great dude !!!!!! bravo
This man is what I think of when I hear the term hero.
Finally! Someone else bothered by the seasoning waste as much as me! Lol
Great video!
LETS GO BILL!!!!!!!!!
🙌🙌
Great content ❤🎉❤🎉
🙏🙏
This is a good man here, with good intentions
Great film
The story you’re able to share is greatly appreciated!
🙏🙏
For the algorithms bay bay!!!
Great video I was shocked that with doing the foil boat it wasn’t darker like Leroy & Lewis or when Chud does it
Yeah, his bark is definitely lighter than most Texas style joints and I’m not sure why.
I think it's because of the American wagyu, it cooks super fast
You have to check out Newman Family BBQ. The guy used to be the pitmaster for Shotgun Willie's but is now doing his own thing
I'll look into it!
Rodney Scott is the only genuine barbecue i know of. He uses hot coals instead of using massive amounts of smoke.
i'm an hour north from you. going to come see you!!
Love show😊
thanks!
I went to their Denver location... quite a different vibe. Food was terrible, but the service was great!
This is Bills only restaurant, so must just be the same name
😂😂😂
Love it
Yo Ant, when you finally come to GA, in addition to Heirloom Market BBQ we have Owen & Hull BBQ too you got to try. I heard one of the Goldee's Pitmaster's is Pitmaster there and that its as good as Goldee's and Franklin's.
Im reaching out to GA spots this week! Hopefully I can get one to bite before the year ends!
Also Lanes BBQ isn’t to far of a drive from Athens!
Great video and editing. Only thing I will say is I would personally be pretty off put by the lack of fat render on his brisket. Could use some improvement there.
His pork rub looks awesome. Any chance we can get the ratios? Edited to add I love the content you put out.
i have his instagram in the description, message him about it 🤷🏾♂️
The young uns dot care ! lol !
LIT
14:26 God bless you!
Hows it going
I also noticed and thought one time to myself how much seasoning Goldies looks like they wasted. Then I thought to myself well they sell it so they probably won’t their consumers to use it like that lol😂
I'll be going this weekend. I've been in Nash for 5 years and never heard of this guy, ill tell him I found the place from your Channel!
The lost SEASONING!
