In this episode I chat with Mauro Chiefari who is currently cooking(among other things) at Franklin BBQ in Austin, Texas. We talk about his background, growing up in Italy, his culinary background, his moving to the United States and eventually getting to his now home, Austin, Texas. We go deeply into his passion for BBQ which pushed him to his time at Kerlin BBQ and eventually to Loro and where he now works, Franklin Barbecue. We end by talking about his cool new film project.Follow Mauro's journey on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000436815509 Follow Texicana BBQ here: https://www.instagram.com/texicanabbq_See Texicana on YouTube here: http://bit.ly/2TDKvSn
