Cowboy Barbecue with Adrian Davila

Adrian Davila is a third-generation pit master, barbecue chef and
restaurateur at his family’s acclaimed Davila’s BBQ in Seguin,
Texas. He continues to honor his family’s legacy and the
traditions of Mexican-American cooking, all while exploring his
own unique identity. His grandfather, Raul Davila, opened
Davila’s in 1959, and passed the secrets of his smoked barbecue
to Adrian’s father, Edward. The family is proud of their
commitment to creating the best barbecue in Texas. Adrian credits
his grandfather and father with teaching him the value of hard
work. Most of his youth was spent in the kitchens of the
restaurant, learning the special techniques until he could
prepare everything on the menu to perfection. 


Adrian still practices those skills today, and has since created
his own unique recipes for the restaurant as well as its
extensive catering business. He has also taken some of those
creations on the road to special events across the state in the
restaurant’s food truck. He continues to expand his culinary
knowledge and skills through research and travel, most recently
throughout Europe, with a special stop in the city from which his
family once hailed, Avila, Spain. In 2018, he ,finished his first
book, Cowboy Barbecue, working alongside noted culinary author
Anne Volkwein, and has promoted the book across the country.
Adrian has been featured on Cooking Channel’s Man Fire Food, as a
judge on the Travel Channel’s American Grilled, as a contestant
(and first-place winner) on the Food Network’s BBQ Blitz “Texas
Takedown,” as a guest chef on the Food Network’s The Kitchen, as
a judge on the Food Network’s BBQ Kids Champion, and on
Tastemade. He has recently completed filming in Food Network’s
newest show, “BBQ Beatdown,” soon to air. 


As the restaurant’s spokesman, he has appeared on The Today Show,
Tastemade, KSAT 12’s SA Live, WOAI News 4’s San Antonio Living
and KENS-5’s Great Day SA. He and the restaurant have been
featured in the San Antonio Express-News, Texas Monthly’s BBQ
issue, San Antonio Edible Magazine as well as the Seguin Gazette
and Seguin Magazine.
