North Koreans Try American BBQ feat. Asian Boss

Today, we have special guest host Steve from Asian Boss who is going to sit down with 4 North Korean refugees who escaped from the totalitarian North and now reside in South Korea. Not only are they going to try American bbq for the first time, but we’ll also hear about their stories from their time living in the North, where only the very privileged can regularly eat meat. Now, we didn’t want to give them anything less than the real deal, so we found a highly qualified pitmaster in Gus Flores. Gus is originally from Guam and runs Sweet Oak in Wonju, South Korea, which is about an hour and a half outside of Seoul. He is a classically-trained chef who has learned how to barbecue from celebrity pitmasters Harry Soo, Myron Mixon and also the late Konrad Haskins of the bbq Institute of Texas. If there's anyone on this side of the world who could give them a taste of real American barbecue, it would be Gus. But don’t just take our word for it, 12 Bones from Asheville, NC flew over for this video and they had a few nice things to say as well: Listen, what Gus is doing Would be very successful in the United States. We heard a lot of good things about him and he was even more than we expected. You can tell he knows what he's doing, he's takena lot of time to learn all the nuances of bbq. He's really passionate, cares about what he's doing. and the product that he's putting out. He's phenomenal. You can just tell that he and his wife both are putting their heart into it. I mean, some of the best brisket I've ever had. He's the real deal. He's a top-notch guy, no question Korea is lucky to have him, for sure. Since we couldn’t fly them out to each region to try all the different styles of bbq, the next best thing we could do was to have them try the best sauces from the most respected regions. So, after doing some research, we reached out to several places and asked them to come on board for this project. We have Gates from Kansas City, Missouri Rudy’s from Texas LawLers from Alabama And 12 Bones from Asheville, North Carolina. Sorry Memphis, we tried our best, but no one was interested. Now, let's get to the food.

Haha the look on their faces when they see the beef ribs brought out. Always love to see people who have suffered so much enjoy some of the stuff we take for granted.

haha, their slight jab at Memphis for not wanting to participate was cute. WAY TO GO, MEMPHIS

Enjoyed seeing a slice of life getting some enjoyment after being in one of the most oppressive regimes. Also, mustard based BBQ sauce is terrible.

No biggie that they're forced to send in dog fur to the government or get fined. That's fucked up.

Of course the Texas BBQ sauce bottle was the biggest. And I loved the "Honorary Texan" achievement.
