Video Description

Trey Sanchez learned the art of BBQ from his father - but the art of Mexican cooking by traveling all over Mexico. Now at Vaqueros Texas BBQ he produces not just some of the best Texas BBQ in the state; but he also takes a unique approach to Mexican food by bringing smoke and BBQ into the authentic recipes of his heritage. Watch https://youtu.be/VjCmHNEGeLU next! Special Thanks to Kenneth Cunningham from @NorthTexasBBQAddicts Welcome to Behind The Food TV! On this channel I document my journey to become a better cook. I travel to meet chefs and pitmasters at the top of their game - and somehow convince them to teach me the techniques that make their food special. I enjoy getting to know them, their families, and their communities - and I hope you enjoy it all just as much!
