What the creator captured
Eater followed Zavala's Barbecue as they scaled operations to handle a massive influx of customers during the World Cup by staying open for 30 consecutive days. The team showcased their unique 'Texas crunch' foil-wrapping technique and rigorous sausage-making process to maintain quality while producing record-breaking volumes of meat. Their key takeaway was the importance of cross-training every staff member to ensure the restaurant could survive such an intense logistical challenge.
