In the summer of 2010 Jeff Jones, Matthew Wallis, Matthew Johnson and Brandon Gonzales set out to make a documentary titled For the Love of Meat about Texas barbecue. Little did they know what an incredible time capsule it would become to film some of the top pitmasters of that time such as Joe Capello, Roy Perez, John Fullilove, Tootsie Tomanetz and others. Additionally the crew was there shortly after Wayne Mueller had taken the reigns at Louie Mueller and only a few months into Aaron Franklin’s career operating the then Franklin Barbecue trailer. Tune into to this episode to hear more details about the film.

For the Love of Meat, originally released in 2015, has not been publicly screened in nine years. But that is changing. On March 1st the filmmakers will be screening the film at the Bullock Museum and tickets are on sale now. This is a must see documentary if you are passionate about Texas barbecue and its history. Follow the ticket link in the show notes for your opportunity to see this incredible footage plus more! There are ticket options for a meet and greet prior to the screening with food provided by Micklethwait Barbecue.

There will be a Q&A panel moderated by Daniel Vaughn after the screening featuring the filmmakers, Wayne Mueller, Tom Micklethwait and Kelli Nevarez discussing the film and evolution of barbecue in the years since. Don’t miss out on this special night at the Bullock Museum.
