on any exclusive plans that you have in the future? so there's nothing really that kind of exclusive or that i'm focusing on. but what, what i do constantly do is you never dropped for ball. you never kind of take your eye off what's happening, how you can exploit the property more how you can open up a little cavity and turned it into a shop. so you're always looking for new opportunity within the space. and i think we've created something that people really appreciate it. smoke fancy, it's real, and it just keeps getting better. thank you, ryan, for welcoming us into the space. while i wonder this warren of delights, let's say it over to allow you to find out more about a growing delicacy evolving out of the local staple. go to weeks, i grew up with my mother. i will tell you definitely we should have you called because this well, every time it's all noise smells all noise is the only one i'm here to pull in.

a good sure. and in the good shoe you rarely find people. ashley experimenting in it. it's normally just as you make a new and almost true, resist the goal itself. audience, tomatoes, low season unit in well 1st in the spells, you kind of get sore throat ruthless. and if it's all prepare, law gets hard. so it's like you ethan robin hood, so just o defense, italian prepaid. so this is my pre preparation for my goal cri before. usually what i do old go to the market selectable, to have it killed. really at the market go to malawi, i usually left to forage, returning home in the evenings for water, which means they're better for the environment and more sustainable in terms of farming than most cattle. we dre rob the meat after we can get it. basically like with the gold curry,

a dry rubbed with some caprica of some to marry normally the spaces you news in a, in a curry. basically way a do what i do with spacing beforehand. these to try and eliminate the scent of the gold as much as possible because even like right now, as i'm handling the meat right now you, you don't smell of the cord. you just smell the spaces in use, know that to worry you smell the paprika. the rosemary in the air, the mix herbs. i put in there. yes. for them by this time 24 hours. yeah. everything is recent is gone. normally people increase the order, start with the burning of the on humans. but i'll go with a meet 1st because i, when i had the little color to it, the brownish of the meat down. and then because i really prima needed it

by phrase it 1st. i'm also bringing out the spaces and saw the oil and everything else. i want to put into the, into this i'm gary is want to have spaces. there may need to be everything just all worked out together since i took as prepared. go meet along with food festival. so i've tasted everything. i'm happy with it, though. i've gotten all comes with it. people coming and yeah, just open because it's unfortunate. i just started a little later than i would have liked so far. what is going really well has been the collapse, but we're almost out okay. back to me you still people are a little skeptical about what is there. but yeah, i'm pretty sure that once one person tries me at the smoke means nick hurried. yeah . and the work goes out. they issued out to a lot of the don't know that good smith is actually good. good me. it doesn't have a lot of diseases. so if you want self, literally if it's gotten so i do good every day. i curse. i'm just

a casual indulgence. thank god is okay, but i don't think as the special but the story behind me made great kabobs with goat. that's where i am. i changed my mind from the give, i was a 15 and the career board of it is 3000, which is 2000 as my back. if you just to this one, i think a bad smell is he didn't always mud where they gave me. i tried it even dig another b c, because i can't trace that smell. yeah. why is it maybe because it's a small, i don't know if i am to does that got a book where there would be i didn't play the smell, but this one's quite unique. it was really good. like you can't see the fact that it's good me. like i don't think if they hadn't told me, i wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference. i would just assume that the people so no matter how you cut it, go meet winds there.
