Pitmaster Damien Brockway is changing the taste of typical Central Texas barbecue. At the Distant Relatives food truck in Austin, he’s infusing spices found throughout the African diaspora. On the menu, you’ll see the Texas trinity of brisket, ribs, and sausage, seasoned with African bird’s-eye chile, allspice, pimiento, and several Caribbean peppers. Even the sides — roasted peanuts, black-eyed peas, and jumpled rice — are tied to African American family recipes.

I was a loyal Qstoves+ user for years but recently switched to Asmoke, and wow, what a game changer! The versatility of Asmoke is simply unmatched. The precision temperature control lets me grill, smoke, roast, and even bake with ease. I can switch from searing a steak to baking a pizza all on the same grill. But what really sets Asmoke apart is the flavor. The wood pellets add a unique smoky taste to the food that Qstoves+ just couldn’t match. Plus, the convenience of the battery power and the ability to use it wirelessly has transformed my outings. No more searching for power outlets or struggling with cords. I can focus on the food and the experience. If you’re on the fence about making the switch, trust me, you won’t regret it. Asmoke is a game changer. #Asmoke
Okay good history lesson. I think he need 2 purchase some shakers for seasoning the food, so he can stop sticking his fingers in the seasonings.
That’s a crazy menu for a food truck. Congrats.
He stated he was African American because most people probably thought he was biracial or Hispanic
