Brown's BBQ in Midland: A legacy of love and barbecue
MIDLAND, Texas (KMID/KPEJ)- In this week's edition of Basin Bites, we stopped by Brown's BBQ in Midland, a local favorite dishing up some of the best barbecue in the Permian Basin.
What started as a humble hustle, selling burritos out of a cooler, has grown into a thriving food truck and, eventually, a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Owner Todd Brown has been running his business for more than two decades, driven by passion, perseverance, and a deeply personal motivation.
Brown explained that his 'hustle' came from his dad, who helped guide him when he was younger while the two worked alongside each other during the summer when Todd would visit him in California.
Todd said that when he decided to open up his own business, he would do it as a way to pay honor to his late father, and share that same legacy of a hard work ethic and love, for his kids.
'Well, what my dad meant to me is everything,' Brown said. 'You know, as a kid growing up, I had the fortunate ability to be able to go out to California every summer and cook with him and learn some of his secrets and stuff. So he instilled a work ethic in me that is what I hold dear to me today, and I instill in my daughter today and my kids.'
Brown's BBQ serves up dishes such as brisket tacos, mac and cheese, ribs, and brisket; a full lineup of comfort food that keeps customers coming back for more.
Brown's BBQ is located at 4200 W Illinois Ave, Midland, TX 79703.
