Texas:John Mueller's Back In The Game Post Scandal

RL Reeves Jr · 11-24-2012, 01:55 PM

John Mueller,famously ousted from the barbecue joint that bore his name, is back in action. Word broke this morning that the fiery tempered pit boss is on the pit today at Shiner Restaurant and Bar in Shiner Texas. It's about an hour and fifteen minutes south of Austin if there are any Central Texas bbq folk on here thinking about a roadtrip.

Goes to show, if you can cook, someone will give you another chance

I keep hearing him described as the "fiery pit boss". Is he like the BBQ Soup Nazi? No brisket for you!!

RL Reeves Jr · 11-24-2012, 07:07 PM

I wish him well. But he sure has a long way to go to live up to Louie, doesn't he? I honestly hope he does well. I've eaten his BBQ and its pretty good. It's cooked old school unlike so much BBQ nowadays.

Nothing like a good scandal to increase business.

or drive it into the ground.

From what I've read in the past and more recently over the last few weeks, it just seems that it's a bad combo of personal issues, family issues and poor business management... too bad it goes public.. thanks to the internet..

John is definitely the best at what he does, his brisket and beef rib are killer!!!!
Best of luck to him.

Dang, I was just in Shiner back on Oct. 18, sorry I missed the chance.

Pretty sure following him around would make for a great reality TV show on Food Network.

What do you mean about old school cooking? I'm definitely interested in learning more about his style and techniques.

Mueller cooks hot and fast where most Texas pit bosses go the other direction. He's famous for the bark-crackling crust-shot through with copious black pepper.

Thanks for the tip. If you go let us know how it is. I make it to Austin often on business and may have to make a detour if the Q is worth the effort.
