The Holy Trinity from the Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin, Texas Monthly’s newly crowned Number 1 spot in Texas


I produced a story on the newly crowned top spot in Texas, which us Texans say means it's the number one in the world. (but we know that's us being cocky)

I've been a couple times now and I can say it lives up to the hype. The pit master Ernest has the nickname "The Pope of BBQ". He's a salt of the earth dude. It lives up to the hype.

    He exercises his knowledge and hands on execution of proper bbq etiquette! He loves what does and it shows. God bless Texas and God bless Ernest!

    Great video! So well put together. It was refreshing to hear a guy at the level Ernest is be honest about the importance of the list. To not shy away from how competitive this business is. Also, discussing how difficult it is to be consistently great and why it’s important to, as an owner, stay on top of the daily operations. These guys earned it.

    Looks phenomenal. Have you tried Dayne’s yet?

    I’m pretty sure I’ve been following this guy since he competed on a special Chopped BBQ edition like several years ago. I live in AZ now, I need to go back and check them out.

    Also OP, we have the same last name! I don’t see it very often. *high five*

    Excellent production on the video. It’s been a dream of mine to visit Texas for music, culture, and food for a long time. You’ve just added a new destination to the list of must-see places when I finally get there

    I’ve followed them since he was on BBQ Pitmasters back in the day. I live close to Seguin. They have been doing world class for a long time. I am so happy for them. Glad you get to experience it.

    I was the very first paying customer of Ernest’s and Dave’s place. Sunday brunch made me concert to Mexican

    No dog got a bark like that

    I don’t live in Texas, but if I ever got in there, I don’t think I could avoid trying the smoked chop he makes.
