The Gochujang Ribs That Saved Their Dream | Korean-Texas BBQ in Fredericksburg
Step into the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas, to meet Lance and Boo Eaker, the passionate pitmasters behind Eaker BBQ. This isn’t your ordinary smokehouse—it’s where traditional Texas barbecue tradition spectacularly collides with vibrant Korean flavors.
The story begins with a shock: Lance, an IT consultant and Boo, an artist, were suddenly thrown into the unknown after Boo was laid off. But, fueled by a shared love for the smoker and a belief that “when one door closes, another one opens,” they went full throttle on a food truck that quickly became a brick-and-mortar sensation.
Discover the unique fusion dishes that put them on the map, including:
– The wildly popular Gochujang Ribs
– The authentic, house-fermented Kimchi
– The true-to-taste Bulgogi Sausage
Beyond the incredible food, hear the deeply moving story of how Lance and Boo’s restaurant is a tribute to their family. They’ve named their pits and live fire table in honor of their late fathers, who they believe are still watching over them. It’s a powerful tale of faith, luck, and the tireless hard work that proves Acre BBQ is a community cornerstone, built on love and care.
