In this episode of '10 Minutes With' Amadeo Chapa and Dusty Miller breakdown the new breakfast offerings at Miller's Smokehouse in Belton, Texas in detail and how the idea for breakfast came about. We also get deeply into the coffee program they have. This has been a while in the making, but now that it is upon them, they are quite excited. Per Dusty they will be serving proteins and caffeine with a healthy side of scratch made biscuits and buns(their bacon will be house-made and all meats will be ground in house).
Breakfast hours: 6:30AM - 11AM - 7 Days a Week

In this episode I get to chat with Jason Hisaw, Advanced Sommelier and Texas Wine Ambassador for RNDC. We go deeply into his journey from Chicago to Las Vegas to Santa Barbara to Kansas City and finally in Dallas, Texas. We discuss how you become a Master Sommelier(so interesting and so daunting) and how he carved his niche in the world of Texas barbecue. We try two wines and discuss all of the Texas wines RNDC offers. It's a love letter to Texas, wine, and barbecue. You're going to love it.

In this episode of '10 Minutes With...' I chat with Zach Oldham. He's a graphic designer that has done a great number of designs for BBQ spots that you have seen, but may not have put a face to the name. We discuss his design philosophy and how he goes about his projects. We also get into his background, how he ended up with the guys at Miller's Smokehouse in Belton and what he listens to while he designs.

In this episode I chat with Jordan Wright from Wright's Barbecue in Johnson, Arkansas. We discuss his BBQ journey which started with a work trip to Texas, which fueled a desire to replicate that barbecue in Arkansas. It wasn't easy. He did farmers markets and caterings and eventually pulled the trigger on a small house that he converted into a restaurant. A 102 year old house. Now he has (4) 1,000 gallon Moberg smokers, a chud pit for whole hogs and a huge fan base that eats up(literally) his BBQ from Tuesday through Saturday. Jordan is honest about his feelings throughout and takes us on a tour of his restaurant, inside and out, while chatting about everything Wright's. You're going to learn a lot and want to visit Wright's the next time you're in Arkansas.See all things Wright's Barbecue here: https://wrightsbarbecue.comBuy a hat or sauce or something Wright's related here: https://wrightsbarbecue.com/shopCheck out Wright's Barbecue on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/wrightsbarbecueFollow Jordan Wright on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/jordanwrightsbbqSee Wright's on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/wrightsbarbecue

In this episode I get the chance to talk to Tom Nguyen who is better known as his BBQ alter ego Hirotoshi Mugen. We get into THAT, because it's quite interesting, but more importantly we discuss how his love for barbecue grew and all about his travels for barbecue throughout the great state of Texas. He provides amazing tips for Tejas Chocolate + Barbecue, CorkScrew BBQ, and Franklin as well as information on a dozen or more BBQ spots and pop-ups. I recommend getting a pen handy to take notes, because there are some gems within this interview. Mainly this chat focuses on the BBQ world, its people, and the incredible BBQ options Texas has. I can't thank Tom(Hirotoshi) enough for taking the time to share his story and thoughts.Follow Hirotoshi here: https://www.instagram.com/hirotoshi_mugenCheck Hirotoshi on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100005052315287
