Texas BBQ Wannabe: 144

144. Hoodoo Brown BBQ (Ridgefield, Connecticut) - "A bank robber, cattle herder, Justice of the Peace, moonshiner and cook, Hoodoo Brown epitomized life in the Wild West. We celebrate Hoodoo Brown's spirit and authenticity by cooking the best Texas barbecue on the planet...or at least right here in Ridgefield. Owner Cody Sperry was inspired several years ago on a "guys trip" to Austin, Texas. There they traveled to over a dozen barbecue joints, with owner's generously sharing their stories, secrets and passion for creating true Texas barbecue. He returned to Ridgefield with a new outlook and desire to replicate what he experienced in Texas. He started his apprenticeship on a Big Green Egg smoker and eventually opened a barbecue catering business. Through the encouragement of his customers, friends and family, he decided to open Hoodoo Brown BBQ. He met his Pitmaster, Nestor Laracuente, highly regarded as one of the best pitmasters on the East Coast, on social media and now they cook your barbecue low and slow, for up to 16 hours over aged hardwood on a custom Lang Smoker." 


*I had the pleasure to spend 3 days with the Cody Sperry, the man behind Hoodoo Brown, a couple of years ago. Awesome guy. I wish Hoodoo Brown the very best and hope I get the opportunity to stop in sometime.
