In this episode I chat with Brandon Hurtado - Hurtado Barbecue Co. - Arlington, Texas about his journey to opening his brick and mortar location in November 2019. We talk about his upbringing, his enjoyment of spending time with his father during late night cooks, his time building his marketing agency(ANKR Agency), his falling in love with Texas BBQ in a big way because of the North Texas BBQ Addicts group on Facebook, to getting his own cooker, growing his business doing pop-ups at breweries, and to now his permanent(for now until the brick & mortar) location at Division Brewery in Arlington. We talk about his unique menu, his influences, and his excitement to going into the new location(and all about that location).Current Hours: Friday - 5PM - Sold Out / Saturday - 11AM- Sold OutSee all things Hurtado Barbecue Co here: http://hurtadobbq.comPre-order by Thursday here: http://hurtadobbq.com/#lp-pom-block-195See Hurtado Barbecue Co. on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/hurtadobbqCheck out Hurtado Barbecue Co. on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/HurtadoBBQ/ANKR Agency: http://ankragency.comNorth Texas BBQ Addicts: https://www.facebook.com/groups/northtexasbbq
