Day In The Life of The #1 BBQ In Texas - Goldee's BBQ - Kennedale, TX

[Celerity]

Hundreds of pounds of brisket, ribs, sausages, and turkey are smoked at this somewhat hidden spot in Kennedale, Texas. Long lines start piling up 5 hours before the place even opens. People come from all across the country just to try their food, especially their house-baked bread (which is unheard of in Texas). I had the honor of shooting with the team at Goldee's BBQ, and it was an unforgettable experience. 2 months of editing later, this might actually be my favorite video I've ever made.

1. "Best"? Going to get some push back on that. Best is way too consistent a term.

2. Texas Monthly picked them the number 1 BBQ in Texas in 2021. In 2025 they picked Burnt Bean Co. in Seguin, TX number 1.

It is all subjective.
