With hundreds of meals to choose from, there’s something for everyone! In this episode you’re going to meet Dayne and Ashley Nicole Weaver - the unlikely power couple behind the Texas BBQ Sensation Dayne’s Craft BBQ in Aledo, Texas. More than any other team I’ve met, I can honestly say Dayne’s wouldn’t exist without both of them - and that theirs is as much a love story as it is a business story and bbq story. And while they share their powerful story with us Dayne and his team teach me to make homemade balogna from scratch! 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!
