#121 Banger's

September 23, 2019

Ben Siegel didn't start out wanting to host events. He just likes to have a good time. This story started 7 years ago and it's far from over. Ted Prater came in early on to cook and now is in charge of multiple hog cooks a week, a room full of pickles, aged hams and more. The sheer amount of food that Banger's creates is astounding. They just finished a huge addition and they're putting every square foot to good use every day of the week.


I sat down with Ben and Ted in Ben's spacious office on the top floor of their new building. Ben's team is huge and they now have an entire floor just dedicated to offices. I'd love to be there when they're deciding which of the 200 beers on tap they want to change around. Their food, their style and their parties are second to none. Enjoy this interview and don't forget to follow them on social media! Ted: @blinkychef Ben and Banger's: @bangersaustin.
