About this episode
We’re on a journey to find out what L.A. barbecue is. Join host Danny Chau on our first stop with Phil Martin, the owner and pitmaster of Black Cat BBQ. Danny and Phil dig into some of Phil’s most iconic dishes, from Carolina pulled pork to prime beef brisket (0:16), while discussing how living across America inspired many of his recipes (03:10), the importance of whole-hog barbecue (16:57), and celebrity run-ins he’s had during his residency at the Beverly Hills Farmers' Market (26:45).
