From A Backyard BBQ to James Beard

Food, and especially BBQ, has the power to bring us together and divide us into crazy feuds of who exactly makes the best style. This week’s guests seem to have finally solved who makes the best BBQ, and it’s them. 

Daniel,  Brenda, and Benjamin Castillo take a cruise around Santa Ana to walk us through their humble beginnings of cooking and smoking BBQ in their backyard to winning a James Beard Award for Best in Class at their award-winning restaurant, Heritage Barbecue. 

Now, they’re venturing out to elevate their current recipes and experiment at their new restaurant, Le Hut Dinette. So buckle up and come on a culinary adventure with Locales Only!
