Potatoes the flavor that coming off the potatoes yeah with that Tallow that smoked seasoned Tallow I’ve never even heard of that before I’ve never seen it before it gives a whole new flavor profile to a fried potato that I’ve never had before I can’t I can’t I can’t do this.
Okay so totally destroyed that smashed potato that you right there’s nothing left it doesn’t exist anymore and now we have a couple of more delicious meals sitting in front of me first of all Josh I got to tell you man it’s just been a pleasure hanging out with you man yeah you too um you guys set the vibe with the music when we came.
Through the door you was playing some good good Tunes back there you know what I’m saying absolutely usually when I conduct my interviews I talk to you first you know get hear about your story and all that stuff but I know how important it is to you that I eat this warm yes I know how important it is yes tell me what I’m looking at right here.
So this is our Fried Chicken Sandwich uh fried chicken with uh uh sweet sweet heat barbecue sauce or Flagship barbecue sauce yo Joshua this is gluten-free yes this is gluten free everything everything here is gluten- free mhm absolutely is this chicken sandwich if someone didn’t tell me this.
Was gluten-free I would never know that is amazing dude I mean that is a legit chicken sandwich my guy like perfectly crispy flavors on point seasoned properly it has that crunch that you want there’s no indication to me and my taste budsy this is gluten-free this is an excellent dish man thank you even with the drizzle that you got on here.
That what what what kind of sauce is that sweet heat that is a sweet I call it our Flagship sauce so it’s so it’s a well balanced barbecue sauce so we have six sauces here in house that we all we make every sauce here in house and that’s the one I mean I’m proud of them all but if I had to call one hour sauce it be that sauce that’s an amazing.
Sandwich man thank you I really applaud you making such delicious dishes by having such a hardcore focus on making sure everything is gluten-free and I already know everything here is gluten-free it’s because of your wife and your partner Bonnie yes talk about her a little bit well she’s got CIA disase she was.
Diagnosed oh probably about 10 to maybe 13 years ago so let’s just say so one of my Crypton nights is pizza I love having pizza oh my God so I can’t even take her into a pizza place if there’s flour in the air wow even in the air she’ll have a reaction so we can’t even go most places that people can go and dine out at if you got a gluten intolerant you.
Have an allergy you have Celiac you can’t even walk into these establishments so back when we B this whole idea and we said hey you know this is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and she said she looked at me and she said okay we could do it but it’s got to be gluten- free m so everything in house even that breading.
On that chicken right there that’s nice and crispy is completely glutenfree I mean I’m not some guy that grew up and went to a culinary school and the whole thing uh was actually nurse so I was in the medical field for 26 years and uh one day I just said you know I really like to try something a little bit different I mean I’ve always been the.
Guy that’s done Backyard Barbecue stuff and I’m like wow I wonder if and I’ve always wanted to because I worked in restaurants when I was a kid I’m like wow I always wanted to start a restaurant one day um and the opportunity came up and we started a food truck and so the opportunity came up so we just kind of jumped in and but.
I’ve been doing barbecue for in the backyard kind of think for a long time but there’s a difference between making barbecue in the backyard and making it consistently for multiple people every day yes sir and I don’t really think of it anymore than look all we do is elevated comfort food absolutely yeah that’s what it is at the end of the day.
Yeah but I’ve been salivating over these ribs and this brisket so I think it’s about time I take a bite out of this oh yeah matter of fact I’m going to go with the sausage first that is a brisket jalapeno sausage what brisket jalapeno I know this going to be fire I don’t want to leave no I don’t want to leave the.
Flavor that comes out of that sausage that flavor packs an absolute punch get a little bit of that Spice from that jalapeno but it does nothing more than just accentuate the flavor it’s not like super hot or anything spicy you can tell that’s brisket because of the quality of that sausage right there that is absolutely phenomenal now it’s time for.
The brisket I’m a big fan of brisket you know what Josh I don’t want to use it for I’m going to go C man style look at this oh my look I I didn’t try to pull it that wasn’t my intention I was trying to pull from the middle no it just fell apart just fell apart more Feed me more Jos your food is amazing my guy and.
Now I got to try these ribs Josh tried to give me some ribs earlier today yes he did and I told him no cuz I want him to see my real reaction so I’mma bite into this bad Bo right now I mean it’s about time yeah oh oh my God I’m getting emotional fall off the bone ain’t the.
Word my teeth had zero resistance when I’ve been into that zero resistance just came smooth off how’d you get this good at barbecue man how’d you get this good a lot of work a lot of time and a lot of mess ups is the best that I can possibly do it’s a real experience we make everything here in house give us a shot come on.
Down give us a shot so man well you should be really proud of yourself cuz everything that I’ve eaten today has been absolutely phenomenal also we got a couple of these desserts sitting here too so what we got going on here so I again it’s obviously it’s gluten-free but that pudding in the cup there is a bourbon banana.
Pudding that sounds fire yes that sounds absolutely fire uh I guess I can try a little bit also uh right next to it is what’s called cat’s apple spice cake uh you’re going to need to try that later when you get a chance so CU that is ridiculous I don’t make it I know it’s delicious it’s on our menu it’s it’s.
It’s it’s actually gluten-free it’s dairy free and grain free well it’s not free from getting in my mouth man cuz I got to try this I’m sorry I wasn’t supposed to I wasn’t supposed to but I’m going to get this to go anyway yeah dude oh my goodness if you in Colorado Springs you got to come to.
Pork butt make it a mission Joshua thank you so much for allowing America’s best restaurant to highlight you guys today man it’s been a pleasure of getting to know you been a pleasure getting to know your family and it’s especially been a pleasure eating all your food May.
Gu woo man when I tell you that I had such a delicious time here at pork butt barbecue man I am not lying everything was just on point firing on all cylinders first off that brisket was so juicy so delicious then those ribs quite literally fall off the bone matter of fact when we were off camera Joshua literally had me pull the bone out of.
The rib and it had zero resistance I mean magnifi but that smashed fried loaded potato was absolutely phenomenal as a matter of fact I think I’m going to have to do it I’m going to give that dish my official two snaps and a Ric Flair woo because that might have been my favorite barbecue dish of all time and better yet everything here is.
Totally gluten-free you wouldn’t believe it but it is absolute fire so if you are ever in Colorado Springs definitely make your way on over to pork butt barbecue with that said my name is Theo Williams for America’s best restaurants hope to see you
