- BBQ 052: BBQ dreams pay off big for Pinkerton's Barbecue
From a young age, Grant Pinkerton dreamed of BBQ. Now his smoky dreams are a reality for the well-regarded Houston, Texas, pitmaster. Hard work pays off.
In this episode, Pinkerton talks about his low-and-slow barbecue, his life before BBQ and the care he puts into his job day-in and day-out. The Houston native has jumped from grilling hobbyist to food cart operator to owner of a great brick-and-mortar restaurant in the Heights.
"All of a sudden I was making more money just cooking for my buddies than I was in my regular job," Pinkerton said about starting to sell BBQ for the first time. So he jumped in and took the risk. "There's no better time to be broke than now," he said about taking the risk to sell BBQ for a living. And it paid off. Pinkerton's catering work led to his dream of opening a BBQ place become a reality. He decided it on a whim but it took 18 months to do it right.
Grant Pinkerton's attention to detail pays off in his menu, which is both traditional and modern, and his restaurant Pinkerton's Barbecue. Check them out in Houston, near downtown.
Thanks for listening! Let the pitmasters we feature on the show know you heard them on the Best BBQ Show!
