Meet Israel Campos (pictured below), the owner and pit master behind Pody's BBQ. He scared me pretty good when he pulled up behind my trailer and exited with his law enforcement badge on and gun on his side! He said I was parked illegally. I explained what I was doing and then he let me on to who he was. Couldn't have had a better first stop experience!

As a bonus, I found out that he already uses our black pepper for all of his BBQ! I particularly liked the ribs, brisket and green pepper hominy as a side. Check this place out. Thanks Israel, you sure gave me an experience I won't soon forget! #‎chasingbbq
