25 year-old Dylan Taylor has extensive experience in the barbecue world as a pitmaster and has worked at famed barbecue joints all across Austin including Terry Black’s Barbecue, 2M Smokehouse, Truth Barbeque and La Barbecue. He now owns and operates his own barbecue spot, Goldee’s Barbecue, in Fort Worth, Texas with four of his childhood best friends. Originally, Dylan made the move from Arlington to Austin to go to college and to play music with his band, but after a year he realized college was not his thing. He then began delivering pizzas for Pizza Hut but he was quickly sold on that central Texas barbecue life once he started dining out at local barbecue spots. In this episode, we discuss why Dylan fell in love with this industry, how his childhood friends hustled their way up to owning a restaurant in their hometown, the struggles of opening up a new place, the type of delicious meats and sides they’re serving up and how Dylan is adjusting to the current climate.
