At this point in time…BBQ TV was at its highest level. In this segment we talk about the, then, 2nd season of BBQ Pitmasters…this was the year that the show went from “reality show” to “game show”...and it never switched back after that. We talked about the comments he was seeing on social media…how that pays into future iterations of the show and all that stuff.I would like to say this…first…John is a beauty…one of my favorite BBQ people ever…PERIOD…and for a myriad of reasons…not the least of which is…he is just a great human man…I have been very critical of shows that are “game show style” shows…but it has taken this long for me to realize…that it's easier to continue to do a show in that format…then it is doing any other format…and it took Michael Symon to tell me that for me to finalize realize and accept it…so I do now. I understand why they did it…I understand it had sustained success once they did it…and I hated every season after they made the switch…but I get it now!!So, if you don't know about John Markus or BBQ Pitmasters…this is a great show to check out this coming Friday!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

(May 28, 2024 - Hour One)9:14pm - Leading off tonight is, perhaps, one of the smartest men to have ever appeared on this show when it comes to the making of gas grills on the manufacturing side of the industry. One of the founders of Winners Products, James Hou, joins me tonight for what will be a series of interviews where we will give you some unprecedented insight to how this worked actually works.

We travel back to 1935 with Babe Ruth Author, Bob LeMoine and the Sauce is the Boss with Sweet Baby Ray's, Dave Raymond, a 2023 Barbecue Hall of Fame inductee. Bob LeMoine loves baseball and this love began at a very early age.  He would lay in bed at night, listening to his small transistor radio and cheer on the Boston Red Sox.  Bob is fascinated with Boston and 19th-century baseball history.  His latest project is When the Babe Went Back to Boston:  Babe Ruth, Judge Fuchs and the Hapless Braves of 1935.  It is a fascinating look at Babe Ruth after his time with the New York Yankees ended and he tried to pursue a a second act career as a manager as well as all else from that time until his death.  Babe Ruth is considered by many to be the greatest baseball player and this book provides much more interesting information on his life. Dave Raymond aka Sweet Baby Ray has many years of experience in the barbecue industry. In 1982, Dave and his lifelong friend Mike O'Brien used the sauce which Dave's brother Larry developed to build Sweet Baby Ray's, which is now the best-selling barbecue sauce in the country. They sold the business in 2001.  In 2005 Dave partnered with his nephew, Larry's son Duce and they opened Sweet Baby Ray's Restaurant.  Now a multifaceted business operation, Sweet Baby Ray's boasts two restaurants and two premier catering companies. Dave is also a member of the competition team, Duce's Wild, which has won over 40 awards since it began competing.  Dave is a member of the newly inducted 2023 Barbecue Hall of Fame class. We conclude the show with the song, Baseball Always Brings You Home from the musician, Dave Dresser and the poet, Shel Krakofsky. We recommend you go to Baseball BBQ, https://baseballbbq.com for special grilling tools and accessories,  Magnechef https://magnechef.com/ for excellent and unique barbecue gloves, Cutting Edge Firewood High Quality Kiln Dried Firewood - Cutting Edge Firewood in Atlanta for high quality firewood and cooking wood, Mantis BBQ, https://mantisbbq.com/ to purchase their outstanding sauces with a portion of the proceeds being donated to the Kidney Project, and for exceptional sauces, Elda's Kitchen https://eldaskitchen.com/ We truly appreciate our listeners and hope that all of you are staying safe.

The American Royal World Series of BBQ is special to many pitmasters, none more so than Darren Warth. A three-time American Royal Open Grand Champion with his Iowa Smokey D's BBQ, Darren is ready to chase No. 4 this weekend when more than 500 teams converge on Kansas Speedway for the world's biggest BBQ competition. The man known as the “GOAT” for his two-decade run of success also will be inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame on Saturday, making it even more special. On Episode 230 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with Darren about the upcoming weekend and reflect a bit on his career, the restaurant business and why he's never been interested in teaching a BBQ class. We also talk it over with Joe Gera, owner of Keystone Que in Pittsburgh. Joe has celiac disease, a serious and potentially deadly disorder for those who consume gluten through cross contamination in the kitchen. Joe has a book coming out soon titled “From Scratch With Love, Professional Gluten-Free Home Cooking.” He discusses healthy eating and how to keep enjoying quality BBQ, even with a celiac disorder and about his Carolina-inspired BBQ sauces. Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve discuss their BBQ weeks and preview the Tailgate Guys BBQ team's upcoming trip to The Royal.   Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #teamroyaloak2023 The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Clark Crew BBQ #clarkcrew Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq #proudsoulsbarbecueandprovisions Randy Vanslyke and Pro Technology Solutions The Grill Guys of Missouri Allquedup #arkassippicombo Vietti Marketing Group #marketing  In the Garden of Eden Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

This week's guest, Meathead Goldwyn, BBQ Hall of Fame inductee & author of "Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling", is recognized as one of the leading authorities on BBQ.  His website, www.AmazingRibs.com, is probably the most popular BBQ website on the internet.  What is indisputable is the fact Forbes calls it the "BEST".  He will discuss getting your brisket spot on and how to deal with the infamous stall that invariably happens. Andy and Todd will be talking about trimming and cooking “Thor's Hammer”.www.bbqradionetwork.com www.holsteinmfg.com

Cleveland's very own Michael Symon stops by to talk about the show, how it all came together and what we can expect for the rest of the season.

Earlier this year, Darren, along with 3 others, were voted into the 2023 BBQ HAll of Fame class. We will talk to Darren about making it in this time around, if he even cares about it, what his competition schedule looks like for the balance of 2023 and we will also talk about his new Podcast that is about 15 or so episodes old.BBQ Central Show SponsorsPrimo GrillsPitts & Spitts BBQ Pits - Use "charcoalcentral" at checkout for $150 Off Charcoal GrillsBig Poppa SmokersFireboardCookin PelletsPit Barrel CookerThe Butcher Shoppe - Save 10% When You Mention "The BBQ Central Show"JC Newman Cigars - Try The Angel Cuesta Brand

Byron Chism has cooked BBQ all over the world and won 39 Grand Championships along the way. But Chism, who will be inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame this fall during the American Royal World Series of BBQ at Kansas Speedway, is best known for producing the first widely distributed rub specifically designed for BBQ. On Episode 216 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with Chism about his “Bad Byron's Butt Rub” that's still one of the top sellers in stores around the globe, 26 years after its creation. Byron tells us about how he came up with the rub, the origin of its name and why it's still a hit all these years later. We also check in with Nick Davis of Double Barrel BBQ about his upcoming Que For a Cause benefit competition in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The Aug. 4-5 event is for backyard and pro teams and already has attracted a star-studded field in just its third year. Davis, himself an outstanding competition cook, tells us why the event's benefactor, Special Olympics, is so meaningful to him. Nick also touches on his growing BBQ restaurant, which offers both rewards and challenges. Meanwhile, the guys recap their cooking weeks and round up the latest Grand Champions on the KCBS circuit.  Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #teamroyaloak2023 The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Iowa BBQ Store #iowacornercookers Clark Crew BBQ #clarkcrew Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq #proudsoulsbarbecueandprovisions Randy Vanslyke and Pro Technology Solutions The Grill Guys of Missouri Allquedup #arkassippicombo Vietti Marketing Group #marketing  In the Garden of Eden Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizzaHave a great BBQ week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm

9:14pm - The second Tuesday of the month launces with our pal from Amazingribs.com, Meathead! Last week, Sam The Cooking Guy and I got into a nonsense conversation about eating raw foods and which might be safer to eat over the other. I mentioned "Mrs. Meathead" during our segment and then I asked the actual Meathead if she might weigh in on this topic and he's ready to go with all kinds of info tonight. We might also hit on the progress of his new book as well to see if it's still on track or not!9:35pm - After Meathead, I will be joined by contributing editor to Southern Living Magazine, Robert Moss. Yesterday, the 10 BBQ Hall of Fame finalists were announced and we will go a bit further in depth on how these names were arrived upon and maybe we will also pontificate on what the class of 4 might look like. We will also hit the topic of "Brunswick Stew", get the history of it and also learn about other stews that are in the same realm.BBQ Central Show Sponsors!Primo GrillsPitts & Spitts BBQ Pits - Use "bbqcentral" at checkout ($500+) for free spice packBig Poppa SmokersFireboardCookin PelletsPit Barrel CookerThe Butcher Shoppe - Save 10% When You Mention "The BBQ Central Show"JC Newman Cigars - Try The Angel Cuesta Brand

This week's guest, Meathead Goldwyn, was inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame this last September at The American Royal.  Author of "Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling", Mr. Goldwyn is recognized as one of the leading authorities on BBQ.  His website, www.AmazingRibs.com, is probably the most popular BBQ website on the internet.  What is indisputable is the fact Forbes calls it the "BEST".  He will discuss couch-gating and making 'cracklins' and wings for your guests as we transition to the peak of football season. Dave and Andy will be talking about making delicious and savory nut mixes.www.bbqradionetwork.com

(September 27, 2022 - Hour One) 9:14pm - Joining me to lead the show tonight is BBQ icon and BBQ Hall of Fame'er, Steven Raichlen. As we enter the 4th quarter of 2022 (at the end of the week) we take a look back at Steven's BBQ/Grilling predictions/trends for this year and see what panned out and what still needs to get going before the end of the year! 9:35pm - 4th Tuesday of the month regular guest, Derrick Riches, joins me for his usual segment. Tonight, we will be discussing the growing trend of full sized "hybrid" cookers. No, not a combo of gas and charcoal, this time we are talking about the entrance of pellet/off-set cookers into the marketplace. There are a small number of them available now or getting ready to come to market. We will talk about how much of a "trend" they are and if they will become a common addition to the growing number of cookers available to buy! BBQ Central Show Sponsors!
