We visit with a Hall of Famer on Episode 326 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast.

While Donny has mostly retired from KCBS cooking, he's still successful cooking on the Rib Cookoff Association circuit and his Buffalo's BBQ Food Truck in Sperry is a favorite of many.

A few days after B'Mackin BBQ set a KCBS record with a near-perfect cook at the Burnt Offering BBQ Contest in Riverside, California, we talk it over on Episode 323 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast with San Diego's Brett McKinney about how he and teammate Benny Watsman pulled it off. B'Mackin scored an amazing 718.8572 and just missed a quadruple 180 by a couple of judges slightly dinging them in the chicken category. McKinney said he's still in happy shock over the record, but B'Mackin is no stranger to consistent excellent having finished top 10 overall in 31 of its last 34 comps dating back to 2022. McKinney said that less cooking - and thus more-relaxed expectations - has meant more success for the team. We also check in with our friend Richard Fergola of Fergolicious BBQ. The Royal Oak Charcoal ambassador is charting a new career path in 2025 and doing quite well, teaching BBQ full-time around the globe while also promoting his six Richard Fergola BBQ spice rubs.

Jordan Kirkpatrick and Janky Leg BBQ recently passed the seven-year anniversary of their first KCBS competition, a 27th-place out of 30 teams in Effingham, Illinois. Jordan recalled being “lost, confused and disappointed" with the results. On Episode 318 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Jordan reflected on the humbling start and the road to becoming a world champion a years later. Janky Leg is still going strong and nearing the fall, when the team is always at its best. He also hits upon some interesting theories, including that you're not cooking against the other competitors, but instead against yourself.  We also take a trip to the Grill Guys of Missouri for a visit with Skyler Spartan.

The OG #GOATOFBBQ can still get it done. On Episode 317 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with BBQ Hall of Famer Darren Warth about his latest KCBS Grand Championship, this one bigger than most. It came last weekend at the Grand American Barbecue World Championship in Port Jervis, New York. The $15,000 prize was one of the bigger non-majors he's won and the second GC in the last month for he and wife Sherry's Iowa Smokey D's team. Darren told us about feeling reinvigorated about competition BBQ these days and it sounds like the three-time American Royal World Series of BBQ Grand Champion and past Jack Daniels World BBQ Invitational Grand Champ is far from finished. One of the most-interesting tidbits is how Darren, even with all his accolades, is not past asking some other top competitors for some help in getting his Pork Ribs back on track. What did he find out? And what about BBQ television shows? Darren explains why he's never had any interest in doing them. We also visit with Skyler Spartan about the latest from Grill Guys of Missouri. Tailgate Guys Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve also review their cooking weeks, preview what's on the menu and take a quick tour of the sports world.  A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.

When selected as one of 12 contestants for the Food Network program BBQ Brawl, Brad Leighninger of Nixa, Mo., said he just wanted to have fun and represent the competition BBQ world as best he could. Chalk it up as mission accomplished on both parts, plus a whole lot more. The pitmaster behind three-time (working on four-time) KCBS Team of the Year Gettin' Basted made it all the way to the finale where he lost a tie-breaker with Georgia's Kyle Bryner for Master of ‘Cue.  On Episode 316 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Brad reflects on BBQ Brawl's 10-episode journey from what it was like to be on legendary chef Bobby Flay's team to the 16-day grind to film 10 shows to his relationship with Kyle “The Mountain Man” from Georgia (whom he incidentally has invited to join him at a BBQ major later this year). We also ask Brad his recommendation for the next competition BBQ cook for BBQ Brawl and he has a quick answer.  Thanks to Brad for always being available to come on our show, going all the way back to 2016. We appreciate it - and more important, so do the listeners. We also take a trip to Republic, Mo., for the latest happenings from The Grill Guys of Missouri with co-owner Skyler Spartan.

The competition BBQ world was rocked late last week by the tragic news that Ercole Chila from Uncle Pigs Barbecue Pit from Paulsboro, N.J., had been killed in an automobile accident. Two of Ercole's shining accomplishments on the competition trail was Uncle Pig's 2022 KCBS Team of the Year award and the 2023 Jack Daniels World BBQ Invitational championship. But beyond the smoke and tasty proteins was a man who was a friend to so many across the land. On Episode 315 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast we visit with two of Ercole's close BBQ friends, Mike Licciardello and Dave Travis. They provide some insight on the man Ercole was and what made him special. We send our condolences to Ercole's family and many friends.

For Ashton Smith and Josh Farley, the idea of a BBQ restaurant and food truck seemed unlikely a couple of years ago. But after winning the Made for KC competition in 2023, earning naming rights to the BBQ restaurant in Kansas City International Airport for what turned out to be 18 months, the O.G. Bandits are more than a championship KCBS competition team - they're now an award-winning restaurant with a retail line of rubs and sauces and perhaps bigger things are coming soon. On Episode 314 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Ashton tells us about a world-wide restaurant hospitality award the O.G. Bandits recently received and recaps their BBQ journey.  We also take a trip to Republic, Mo., for the latest happenings from The Grill Guys of Missouri and co-owner Skyler Spartan. And the co-hosts recap the latest episode of BBQ Brawl on Food Network where our buddy Brad Leighninger wowed 'em with his Beef Ribs. The guys also review their cooking weeks and look ahead to the Tailgate Guys' return to competition in a big doubleheader this weekend in west-central Missouri.  A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.

One of our favorite segments on the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast over the last couple of years has been “Under the Radar” where we visit with up-and-coming pit masters. Many of them have gone on to achieve success and we visit with one on Episode 306 this week. Bo Wheless of Bocephus BBQ out of Mayetta, Kansas, was on the show two years ago. He's since won three KCBS Grand Championships, including last week's Smokin' Hot Cars & BBQ in Iola, Kan., where he soared past 700 to pick up the win. We visit with Bo this week to learn about his success and how he's been able to pull it off. We also review Memphis in May where Heath Riles earned his long-sought Grand Championship along with a third world ribs title in four years. It's an encore presentation of portions of Heath's appearance on the show earlier this month where he talked about why winning MIM would be so special. We're back next week. Until then, enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend! A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners.
