Texas Style BBQ with Turkish Roots
We got to visit Outsider BBQ and have a beer with the creator and Pitmaster Onur Gulbay. He is straight up texas style BBQ with his meat, but incorporates his Turkish influence in the sides. If you are expecting street food and kebobs, you're in the wrong space. You would have thought this guy was straight up from Texas when you taste the meat.
Texas BBQ meets Seattle BBQ... and BRISKET
The Meat Dudes got a surprise visit from Jeff of Jeff's Texas Style BBQ, so we HAD to talk BRISKET. BBQ is not a science, it is an art. You will understand that once you listen to how Jeff temps his 30 briskets he cooks daily. Check out Jeff's Texas Style BBQ in Marysville WA during BBQ month!
Almost eating squirrels at Buckshot Honey
To kick off BBQ month we took a trip to Snoqualmie to visit our buddy Dave who owns Buckshot Honey. He cares about where his meat comes from and has some great stories about growing bouncing around from California to the South!

Pure Country Farms: A Family Run, Ethical, and Sustainable Hog and Cattle Farm that Will Change the Way You Think About Meat
To truly know where your meat comes from you need to actually VISIT the farm. And that's just what we did! We traveled 2.5 hours away to Moses Lake WA and visited Pure Country Farms, where we get 90+% of our meat from. This hog and cattle farm is family owned and operated and large enough to supply us with consistent cuts for a few restaurants, butcher shops and stores in WA, but small enough to where they can have their hands on every step of the process.
We are proud to serve their meat and trust their philosophy and process.
This is what we learned...

What labels should you look for on meat? And why it's important to shop local.
Do you find yourself getting fooled by all the labels on your package of meat? It can be confusing because there seems to be a lot of gray area. What can you do to ensure you're getting the best meat and not just getting fooled by the labels. One question we always ask is... "Can you visit the farmer?" Even if you personally can't, its good to know that it's an option and they aren't hiding anything (for the most part).

What are the different cuts of meat on a cow? Breaking down the whole cow...
Beef prices are going up. Droughts, wars and inflation are affecting feed prices for ranchers. How can we do our part to decrease waste? We can utilize the entire cow. What are the different cuts on the cow? The Hollywood cuts (Ribeye, New York and tenderloin) are such a small potion of the animal. We break down how much usable product a cow yields, and what cuts to ask for when prices of the Hollywood cuts go up.
