So I'm here in Sparks, Nevada, just about amile or two outside of Reno. I bet you they're doing some real dealbarbecue. This is Carolina Kitchen and BarbecueCompany. We did the chicken wing competition. We did first place for about five years,five wing nachos. Up the smoke queen. Nachos are awesome. Everything that you usually see on nachosnow suddenly is on chicken. They're just devastating. We have our chicken wings.

We're going to make our smoked wing nachos. We're going to rub them down with some oil. Oil only. That's it. No salt, no pepper now. Not yet. Because we're going to deep frythem. We don't want that char flavor. On the rub. Och, that's a big wing. There's a couple of wingless pterodactylsout. There smoking for about 45 minutes to.

75. Oc come out of the smoker in the fryer. All right, what are you into? Dry rub which is half Cajun seasoning, halfrib rebel This is our Cajun seasoning. Paprika, salt, granulated garlic, blackpepper, white pepper, onion powder, brown time, dry mustard and chili powder. Got it. I'm going to go rib rub salt, whitepepper, paprika, black pepper, chili powder. This is going to get interesting in a second. Sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, clumps,granulated garlic. You don't find the burn on the white sugar?.

No, I like it. You've won competitions withthis rub. I have. I won't tell anybody. Should do a little half and half here. And this is what we're going to sprinkle onthe wings. Hit it with some moonshine, Barbecue sauce,cheese, bacon. Pop it in the oven for a minute. Okay. So where the tortillas? There are no tortillas. The wing is thenacho. It has all the toppings on it.

All right. This I got to see. Diced tomato. Hanging it. The tomato to stay on thechicken. One green onion, spicy ranch, sour cream. It's a really good wing. I love the smoke. A little fried to it. Nutty tortilla chip. You get the crunch of the outside of thewing. The cheese melts on really nice.

Then you have the bacon sticking to it. So you get all the best of both worlds allover it. You hit that moonshine sauce on there? Just dynamite. You get yourself some of thecool sour cream. That's one of the most unique dishes I'veseen on Triple D, And you actually pull it off. Well done. Thank you. There's so much going on here, but it allworks really, really well. Sour cream on a wing is delicious.

So we found a place for two buddies thatwent to school together. Build a place that everybody loves to go to. This is LB. If you can take him out in the window. It's our go to date night. Great spot for food, drinking, dancing. Got your low tea over ready to sauce up. Favorite thing on the menu? I had never heard of a poutine.

And they said that this place has gravy andfries and cheese curds all. Mixed in one. And I was like, What is that? Well, it's the kind of stuff Brandon Hers andnow encasing are putting together after a journey that started in high school andended as owners of this joint. We actually didn't like each other in highschool. You didn't like each other in high school. That's a good way to start the business. Well, we worked together in this placebefore.

Everything's me, right? Any one part of this not being right? You just put two sides together and calledit a main dish That's right on top of right. And added some more. Right. The pork is delicious and not driedout.

The barbecue sauce has got fantastic Tangand not overly sweet. The Mac sauce gives you that thin, silky,creamy texture. And the real kicker to the whole thing isthe diced jalapenos.

This is a certified Angus beef. It's trimmed down, it's fat. It's a little bit now we're going to seasonour brisket with our salt and pepper seasoning. Brisket with salt and pepper.

You just clean it up over there like a lionthat just ate a gazelle. I don't know what happened. I went aftermine. It's super tender brisket. When you chop that brisket up, we get achance to incorporate that fat.

Damn, man. Come on. All right, That's full speed, man. That's all. Throttle. No bottle, man. That is just getting it done.

This is Hobo's barbecue. That is so good. This place is just outstanding. It's the best barbecue I've had in SouthernCalifornia. All right, let's pull this.

Everyone is going to tell. You a bit. Al is a great guy. And he would give anybody the shirt off his. Back. Literally, Al Borda had mad success atthe T-shirt business and then his late wife, Holly, convinced him to open up arestaurant. She loved the barbecue so much she wanted todo a barbecue. Restaurant, and that was it. Holly Love, grills. Barbecue, triple D joint and, you know,gorilla, you know, the great Benny Lynn.

All because of. You. I've known Al for quite a while. You're a great fan of food. You tasted barbecue from all over thecountry, and this is what you put together, hobos. It's a lot different than your averagebarbecue place. What are we going to make? This is going to be our house rub. All right, let's get into it.

He's got great fat, got great flavor. So we're going to dry up this. Yeah. All right, So we're going to go to theold Hickory smoker.

Would do 12 hours at 200 degrees and then wecrank it up to 275 for another 4 hours. All right, So what are we making now? Big Al, potato salad dressing. Mayo, apple cider vinegar like pepper.

All right. Nice looking brisket. Nice bark. Look at this. Fat right here. That right there is whereall that flavors. That is really good.

We're going to use thin slices. A little bit easier to eat in the sandwich. So the potato salad brisket. The housemade pickles, a little bit less hotdressing and sriracha, a little kick. What's it? Did you just eat off my plate, Al? A little bit. Oh, my goodness. Are we going to have a talk napkin? Oh, thanks, man. I get so much richness andgood smoke from the brisket itself.

I get a little bit of that spicy acid fromthe Sriracha, and then I get to taste that pickle. And the contrast between the hotmeat and the cold potato salad on the crispy bun all plays together really well. That's a light chop sandwich. I mean, reallylike a dynamite legit sandwich. Hold on, chef. The meat by itself is incredible. It's just really tender. I really like the potato salad. You get a whole bunch of flavor profileswhile you're eating.

Sitting here with a UFC. Great. This is Dan Henderson and hisdaughter, Danny. I've known Al for a long time. I love the sandwiches. The pull pork is awesome here too, which isjust one of the meats going into the lasagna. Wait a second. Lasagna at a barbecue joint? I've never had lasagna like this before in mylife.

Off and we'll start doing our layers. Do cool part. First. You think that's enough pork? I was kidding. Yes. One more source.

So we're going to glue it all together withsome cheese. Oh, Where? There you go. A little sauce on it. Second layer ofchicken. As all my favorite food groups in it. Halfway or spicy Cajun sausage. That's been cooked and rendered down meallike this. So you're going to be feeding UFC fighters? We decorate it every one of these initials. A couple of hearts. We wrap it.

Going to go in the oven for an hour. I can't wait to see this. There we go. I'll give you a normal sizedpiece. You got a ton of protein, good amount ofcheese and a lot of noodle. Al, buddy. It's exactly what you want whenyou want some pasta. You want some barbecue? Because that right there shouldn't work fora lot of reasons because of how big it is and how much flavor there is. But it is really good. You've got enoughmeat in there, but not too much just done in.

Balance. That is true. Indulgence. Good. Well done. It's richer and hardier and just has a reallygood flavor. I didn't know what to expect it and. Barbecued lasagna, but it's phenomenal. It's really. Good. We want the best barbecue in town. You go to whole book. Absolutely. Enjoy, you guys.
