Former La Barbecue Pitmaster Dylan Taylor Wants to Open His Own Smokehouse | Eater Austin

"A catering company created as a way for the pitmaster to gain business experience and raise money for a future restaurant, offering classic Central Texas barbecue with German and Czech influences. The planned menu emphasizes brisket, ribs, turkey, pulled pork, and housemade sausages (including jalapeño-cheese varieties and more adventurous options like merguez and venison), with sides such as potato salad, creamed corn, pinto beans, and coleslaw—recipes he developed while doing vegetable prep at high-end restaurants. He welded a 500-gallon travel smoker with mentors and a custom fabricator, is forming an LLC to take larger bookings, and is accepting inquiries now while not rushing to open a brick-and-mortar." - Erin Russell
