There are two epic stories wrapped up in this one video. There’s the story of the legendary Kreuz Market and the family feud that tore it, and the Schmidt family apart. And there’s the story of the iconic man Roy Perez who has been the pitmaster there for almost 40 years - before, during, and after all of the family drama. And to make it even better, Roy teaches me how they make Kreuz’s storied brisket and a new cut to me - beef shoulder clod!

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!
