Welcome to another season of Pitmaster, an Old Virginia Smoke podcast. We kickoff 2025 by checking in with our friend and "awards chiropractor" Kyle Kuhn with Hot Daddy's BBQ, winner of the American Royal Invitational in 2024.
In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois explore diverse food industry topics. The show kicks off with a conversation about Texas barbecue, featuring Chuck Charnichart, also known as BBQ Rat, the young, award-winning pitmaster of Barb's BQ. Her journey from working at Texas' top barbecue spots to launching her own critically acclaimed restaurant is highlighted.The discussion then shifts to economic and trade challenges, particularly rising beef prices. Charlebois explains how droughts, shrinking herds, and producer exits have driven beef prices to record highs, with Canada's cattle population at its lowest since 1987. Egg prices are also soaring in the U.S. due to avian flu, with millions of birds culled. However, Canada's supply management system has helped stabilize prices domestically.The hosts also touch on Amazon's decision to close its Quebec warehouses, raising concerns about the company's impact on the grocery and retail sectors. Trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. are another key topic, with tariffs, multilateralism, and political uncertainty under scrutiny.The episode wraps up with lighter topics, including Dubai chocolate, a rising trend in the global confectionery market. LeBlanc praises Canadian retailer Showcase for identifying and capitalizing on this trend early. The hosts reflect on Canada's position in global agrifood rankings, highlighting issues in food processing, capital shortages, and supply chain inefficiencies.

This makes him super well rounded as a Pitmaster but he remains the ultra humble guy in the room. Sweetie is also the guy that you know exactly how he feels. Especially when it's a winning weekend, dancing, singing, hooting, passing out or shedding a bit of a tear as he makes his way to the top. His raw emotion is as real as it gets.

Episode 259 features Fred Claire, general manager of the 1988 World Series Champion, Los Angeles Dodgers and Phil Breeden, award-winning pitmaster and founder of LC BBQ. Fred Claire is a former Major League Baseball executive who served in numerous roles for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1969 to 1998 including the role of general manager. Prior to his GM role, Fred was the VP of Public Relations and was instrumental in creating the branding that came to be known as "Dodger Blue." However, it was an unfortunate night on April 6, 1987 when Dodgers General Manager Al Campanis appeared on the televison news program, Nightline to talk about his thoughts on the 40th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. Campanis' comments stunned the baseball world and he was forced to resign with Fred being asked to take over the GM job. After a dismal 1987 season, Claire rebuilt the team into an instant playoff contender as the Dodgers went on to win the 1988 World Series. Phil Breeden is a champion pitmaster whose love for food started at a young age and sports fueled his competitive drive to be the best. Phil has competed in over 300 sanctioned competitions. Phil sells his products which he develops and uses to win championships. According to Breeden, “We are always developing products that are tested in competitions…if we can't win with them…we don't release them, why should we expect our customers to trust them if we can't?” In addition to competing and selling products, Phil teaches barbecue competition classes and is a co-host on the Shiggin Fried with Chicken Fried and LCBBQ podcast.
