Shift Meal: Battambong BBQ | Ringer Food

We’re on a journey to find out what L.A. barbecue is. Join host Danny Chau on our next stop with Chad Phuong, the owner and pitmaster of Battambang BBQ. Danny and Chad dig into some of Chad’s most iconic dishes that blend Texas tradition with Cambodian flavors, from Dino ribs to a fermented jasmine rice smoked sausage (00:14). All the while, he discusses memories of growing up in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge (06:34), life in Long Beach, California, and the influence of the Lakers (24:29), and how smoke may just be the fountain of youth after all (29:29).
