A Pitmaster’s Journey from Broken to Blessed

Come along with me on my journey to Abilene, Texas where we’ll learn some new and old BBQ techniques and meet some amazing people - then watch    • I Got SCHOOLED by the Pitmaster Bringing P...   next! Byron Stephenson and his high school sweetheart Stacie grew up working in Byron’s grandparents’ legendary BBQ joint The Shed in rural Wingate, Texas. As adults their adventure could best be described as one we’d all like to avoid. But in the end, there’s a happy ending for them - and for The Shed. 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!
