LIVE FIRE SEASON FINALE: Daniel Vaughn

What happens when the man behind Texas’ most influential BBQ list sits down to talk about the culture he helps shape?

In this episode of Live Fire, host LC sits down with Daniel Vaughn—the barbecue editor of Texas Monthly and the voice behind the legendary Top 50 BBQ List.

With nearly 200 barbecue joints visited across Texas, Daniel has become one of the most trusted—and powerful—figures in BBQ. Whether he likes it or not, his rankings shape where people travel, what they eat, and which pitmasters rise to national prominence.

But this conversation goes deeper than brisket.

Daniel shares:
• How a kid from Ohio found his way into Texas BBQ culture
• Why storytelling matters more than just great food
• The humility at the heart of every great pitmaster
• How the Top 50 list actually comes together
• Why the search for great barbecue is getting harder—not easier

Each episode of this series will build towards Lockhart Rising on May 9th. If you'd like to see Daniel and other guests of the show, come out and feel the fire. For more information checkout

Last year, we developed the original Black Javelina shirt with . The dream was born in Far West Texas and then developed in Stockholm. The fabrics are sourced and produced in Portugal.

We're excited to release this year's Ivory Javelina shirt, just in time for the summer months.

First chance to grab these will be at Lockhart Rising on May 9th. Available for purchase online May 11th and in-store starting May 12th.

LIVE FIRE PODCAST EPISODE 5: Ernest Servantes

From backyard pop-ups to the #1 BBQ restaurant in Texas—this is the story of Ernest Servantes.

In this episode of Live Fire, LC sits down with Ernest Servantes, co-owner of Burnt Bean Co.—named #1 on the Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ list.

But this isn’t just a barbecue story.

Ernest shares how he spent decades preparing for one shot at building something great—going from competition BBQ to selling out of his garage during COVID… to becoming one of the most respected pitmasters in Texas.

They dive into:
- The mindset required to become the #1 BBQ restaurant in Texas
- Why Ernest waited until later in life to go all in
- How he built a culture-first team with zero experience
- The difference between a team and a squad
- Why hospitality matters more than food
- What happens after you reach the top—and why he’s already starting over

Each episode of this series will build towards Lockhart Rising on May 9th. If you'd like to see Ernest and other guests of the show, come out and feel the fire. For more information checkout
