In this episode Kevin chats with Daniel Castillo from Heritage Barbecue in Orange County, California. Daniel is doing central Texas style BBQ, but with his unique spin on it. He pop-ups at breweries around Orange County and pairs with that brewery to incorporate beer from that brewery into every item he is serving. Bonus, Daniel talks from Brett's Backyard Bar-Bar-B-Que in Rockdall, Texas because he is spending a week there learning the ropes. Because of this we get a tour and a lot more background about what Brett is putting out. It's a really interesting interview all around.Follow Heritage Barbecue on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/heritagebarbecueSee Heritage on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/heritagebarbecue

In this episode of '10 Minutes With' I talk with Leonard Botello IV about opening up his 2nd location in Houston, Texas. The restaurant officially opened on Saturday January 19th and we did this interview about a week or so before as at the time the opening date was still up on the air. It's an interesting view into the difficulties of opening up a BBQ joint in a big city as well as a look into his vision, especially food-wise for the new location.See all things Truth BBQ here: https://www.truthbbq.comFollow Truth BBQ on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/truth_bbqSee them on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/TruthBBQ

In this episode of '10 Minutes With' Kevin chats with Matt Horn from Horn Barbecue in Oakland, California. We talk about his incredible 2018, including a very special moment where he got to cook inside AT&T Park(I think it's recently renamed to Oracle Park). We get into what he has planned for 2019, especially the progress on a brick and mortar location. We end with his dream job that's not BBQ, his favorite music, and two favorite restaurants that aren't BBQ.
