This video follows the inspiring journey of chef Ruben Santana, owner of Bark Barbecue, as he brings his unique Dominican-Texas style barbecue to New York City. The day begins early in a Queens warehouse, where Ruben and his team meticulously prep and smoke various meats like brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. Before heading to his main location, Ruben enjoys a traditional Dominican breakfast at Bridge Coffee Shop in Dumbo, showcasing the flavors that influence his barbecue. The video then transitions to his stall at Time Out Market in Dumbo, where he serves a diverse crowd of barbecue enthusiasts, sharing the story of how his backyard pop-up during the pandemic evolved into a celebrated culinary destination, marking him as the first vendor invited to the market without a pre-existing brick-and-mortar location.
