Ep22 -Daniel Weinstock - Maple Block Meat Co.

In this Episode I sit with Daniel Weinstock of Maple Block Meat Co in Culver City California.  I first Met Daniel at his beautiful restaurant for a Dinner he was hosting with Author and Chopped Champion Ed Randolph.  They had an incredible feast for a lucky group of BBQ fanatics like myself, it was definitely a memorable night.  Maple Block has been open for 4 yrs now and business is booming.  I dropped in during Lunch Time and the flow of the lunch crowd was smooth and fast paced.  Daniel discovered his love for the Culinary World at a very early age and he worked his way up to a job as a Sous Chef at an elite Restaurant in Beverly Hills.  He went on to College learned the skills that later helped him start his own business!  He's had a visit from Texas Monthly's Daniel Vaughn, he has a recipe in Ed Randolph's book, Smoked and many great articles from several other sources.  He even has a dinner coming up with Phil Rosenthal on August 11th!  They focus on the Craft and are always looking for ways to improve.  While I was there I got a taste of a new Sausage they're trying out using Togarashi Spices, and it was to die for.  I wanted to take a few links home with me! I hope you enjoy this inspiring story.  This is Daniel Winestock of Maple Block!

Ep17 - Foundry Barbecue - Grant Mason

Barbecue in California is Booming, I'm lucky to have moved here to witness this exciting era.  The Underground scene is part of the DNA here, you can find all types of foods, fruits and deserts and even Drinks in underground settings.  This has definitely contributed to the Barbecue explosion that we're seeing in SoCal. Over the next few weeks I'll be introducing you to some really cool popups that you might not have heard of yet but you will!  Some of these folks are catering and cooking in their backyards and others are doing popups at breweries, Farmers markets and other cool establishments.    For those folks that say there is no good Barbecue in California, you need to tune in and check some of these folks out!!!
 
 In this episode I sit down with Grant Mason of Foundry Barbecue in Orange County.  Grant is a Family Man that is born and raised in Huntington Beach.  He got hooked on BBQ while he was in College in Utah then after moving back to California and missing his go to spot he decided to start cooking his own.  Now a few years later he's taking his hobby to a new level.  Earlier this year he spent time with  BBQ Journeyman and Pitmaster at many top BBQ Joints including  his own Goldees BBQ which will be opening in the fall of 2019, Mr. Dylan Taylor.  This experience has given Grant the confidence to continue his trek towards opening a joint of his own.  Oh and by the way, he's cooking on a Sweet Fatstack Smoker!  With two young Children, his wife Kara pitches in when she can but she's known for putting out some incredible cookies at their popups but you must arrive early if you want some!  I hope you enjoy the Show, this is Foundry Barbecue!
