Anthony Anderson and Cedric the Entertainer Launch 'BBQ Lifestyle Brand'

Yeah. All right. Recently, guys, I had the chance to talk to Anthony Anderson and Cedric, the Entertainer. You've seen them in shows like Black Ish where Anthony plays the Hilarious and Truth bombing, Dad Andre Johnson. And of course, Cedric plays the funny family man, Calvin Butler over on the neighborhood on CBS. But now they're cooking up something totally new this with the launch of a lifestyle brand called Ac Barbecue Plus the new series called of Barbecue in which they sample the country's best. Take a look, tell us about this. How did this sort of come about here? Well, you know, Cedric and I have been friends for over two decades and, and, and counting. And, uh we have a, a great core of friends that we travel with and play golf with and more often than not Seth. And I are always the ones in the kitchen, cooking for our group and just for our love of food and, and the love of uh feeding other people. This opportunity presented itself for us to create this lifestyle brand uh in the world of, of barbecue. You know, there's really never been a face of barbecue So, se and I want to be the faces of barbecue in this community and, and bring everything together, bring everyone together in this lifestyle, um, and, and showcase not only our seasonings, rubs and sauces, uh, but others as well. Uh, and, uh, just have an impact in a big way. Uh, Cedric, you know, I don't have to tell you, people are very particular if almost impassioned about their barbecue. Texas, Kansas City, Tennessee. I mean, what's sort of the secret sauce here? You know, we definitely took that into effect. Uh You know, one of the thing about the show is that we travel to a lot of those regions. We meet some of the great pit masters from those areas. Uh And so we incorporated a lot of that into the rubs as you do it, our, you know, uh and our sauces. Uh So these are some of the things we definitely consider knowing that people got these unique individual tastes regionally. Uh But we wanted to, to create brand, a brand and identity that says we hear you and then this is our take on it, Cedric. What is the side dish that we're having? What's your favorite one that we gotta be trying here? It's gotta be a little mac and cheese there and it's got to be uh a little of the potato salad. If I get my wife to give me her full, her full recipe, I think everybody would be really happy. All right, Anthony, what about you? What's your side dish? Uh oh man, uh, collard greens, uh corn bread. Uh uh th th those are the two, you know, I already mentioned the mac and cheese, but you gotta have uh collard greens with some smoked turkey wing in it. Uh and some corn bread to go along with those collards. All right. So Anthony said earlier, Cedric you're probably having ribs. Is that what the main dish is? Uh, you know, probably it's gonna be brisket for me. I'm, I'm a big brisket guy. So I, I love to get that big beef on there. Get it rubbed in like that crispy bark on it. That's my favorite. I love it slathered in barbecue sauce like it's cereal. It's like, you know, just floating in there. Uh What about you, Anthony? What's the name? Uh You know, I, I, even though I'm from Compton, my dad's from Little Rock, Arkansas. I have an affinity for my brother, Saint Louis ribs. I love a Saint Louis style ribs. Uh, rib tips, cut off short meaty ribs. That, that, that's the main for me. Congratulations. Gentlemen, on all the success with this. Cannot wait to see this barbecue sauce and taste it. Right? Thanks to Anthony Anderson and Cedric, the entertainer. Gentlemen. Thank you so much for joining us here on chatter.
