The criticism started when he was in a small location brah. Just pointing out the facts.


His small location wasn't exactly cheap on the pocketbook either though with it's location. LA23 was barely anything in a cheap location. Got to be able to pay the bills, some of those were legitimate back then too.

I will give you that some of them weren't fair though. Franklin gets shite for selling out still and having #linesformiles. Just part of being a popular restaurant.

If LSUCreoles post is accurate earlier in this thread, it's fairly clean that Rob was told to make more meat and he failed to do that. Then refused to serve reheated stuff. I'm sure that pissed off the people that mattered. He has enough smokers to make 5 thousand lbs of que a day

Eater says Bechtold is also out for Hogs with Burgau.

Bechtold and Burgau had planned to compete together for Hogs for the Cause this weekend. According to a Becker Hall, co-founder of Hogs for the Cause, Burgau’s team will still compete without Bechtold.

Also today, Central City BBQ’s social media accounts were pulled and re-established, though there was no immediate information on why that happened.

I agree. With an event space like that you need food. But I also respect the fact he doesn't want to serve reheated BBQ.


As I have said many times before, BBQ restaurants are difficult. Your product costs are so high that you have three options for the long cooking meats:

(1) Cook a lot, serve meat right off the pit, but toss a lot of product if you don't have the crowds that day:

(2) Cook a lot and have meat available, but reheat the meat you don't sell;

(3) Cook small amount, serve only meat fresh off the pit, but run out early more often than not.

1 and 3 are not really sustainable for an operation that size with inconsistent crowds. I think the sweet spot for them would be t serve only fresh brisket and err on the conservative on the amount cooked. They would run out of brisket, but they could still have quicker cooking stuff (sausage, chicken) availabel fresh and reheat pork butt which if cooked right should be alright.

Places like Franklins have such a huge following/crowd that they can cook massive amounts and always serve fresh meat, but you have to start small, build your following and learn your crowd.

I think it was pretty obvious after he was fired that Bart and Aaron would be back primarily doing Hogs. Rob would have been a mess on their team anyhow.

I don't have a problem with this. You can make nachos, chili, pork and beans, etc...

shite. Throw some brisket on a scoop of ice cream and call it a sundae.

jokes aside, yea, there is a way to be open later into dinner consistently even if you dont make it the whole night.

Even if, as someone mentioned, you can keep brisket a little conservative but have a little wider leeway of pulled pork or something and then repurpose.

That's exactly how it went down, I was sitting at the bar when it happened.

Although they told us all they had left was pork before anyone was fired.

Did he try to take other employees with him?

Would have been cool if he drew a "line in the sand."

No. but if the restaurant wants to make money they should stay open past 5pm. I was happy spending money there until they told me at 4:45 they were about to close.

I would like to say that someone who wasn't me said some bad things on here a long time ago and I've been beat up on here ever since. I'm just a chef trying to take care of my family with the cooking talent I have. I've never been on here but I am now so hit me with your best shot.

I always wanted to know why CCBBQ didn't offer any green sides. Thanks.
