  • When the pandemic hit, Heritage Barbecue pitmaster Daniel Castillo opened the “O.C. Smoke Kitchen”-a part of his restaurant dedicated to hosting events to serve hospitality workers who lost their jobs due to COVID-19. At this one specific event, he’ll make 800 smoked pulled pork tortas, and we’ll also see how he brought classic Central Texas barbecue dishes like brisket roulade, Texas bourbon smoked ham, red and green chorizo sausages to California.

    If anyone wants great brisket in/near Santa Cruz, California:
    There is a deli that has stayed open during the virus (walk-up & take-out) two blocks from the beach and the owner smokes 2-3 briskets every day. He sells out everyday, too!👍😋
