In this episode I take you with me to the Monterrey BBQ Fest!! The first BBQ event of its kind & the first KCBS competition ever, in Mexico. I believe we also had the first Texas Pitmaster to wrestle a luchador in Mexico as well!! It was an incredible time and I’m happy that I get to share part of the experience, with you! I will also have a Spanish version coming out very soon, so be on the look out for it! I hope you enjoy the show!

In this Episode, I chat with my buddy Derrick Walker from Smoke-A-Holics Barbecue in Fort Worth Texas. Derrick has been slanging BBQ for many years, he was doing popups before popups were cool! I dropped by during a BBQ Run I did with my dad where we hit 26 spots in about a week back in December of last year. Smoke-A-Holics was definitely one of the highlights of that trip and I was able to chat with Derrick earlier this year. With his Culinary background and homestyle cooking they coined the phrase TexSoul which is Texas Barbecue with a Soul Food twist. If you haven't been, you have to stop by this Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joint! BTW, Smoke-A-Holics has already confirmed that they will be at The Heritage Barbecue Invitational, which is an event that will be held in San Juan Capistrano California to celebrate Heritage Barbecue's 2nd Anniversary on August 13th. Get your tickets to that if you haven't yet! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the show, this is Derrick Walker with Smoke-A-Holics!

He's the BBQ Editor at Texas Monthly and Author of The Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey through Texas Barbecue and Coauthor of Whole Hog BBQ: The Gospel of Carolina Barbecue.

In this Episode I chat with one of Texas Monthly's newest Top 50 Joints, LaVaca BBQ in Port Lavaca TX! This is a Family owned business that was built and is run by the family! I had the pleasure of meeting these fine folks at BrettFest a couple of weeks ago and I loved their story and was blown away by their Smoked Tamales. Although Lupe, Christine and Kelly have had success in BBQ, they're the new kids on the Block and they're really enjoying all of the comradery that they've experienced since the announcement! This family has figured our simpler and smarter ways to do business, in some cases they were forced to due to lack of resources. You're not going to want to miss this one.

Tune in for some exciting updates!! In this Episode I interview my buddy Bryan Bingham formerly of Bodacious BBQ on Mobberly and now proud owner of Sunbird Barbecue in Longview Texas. We recorded this show a few days before his job at Bodacious came to an abrupt end. It's funny because in our interview he says "You can Plan all you want but you never know what can happen"! This is an inspiring story of a family man that is determined to do whatever it takes to pursue his passion. Thankful for the support and motivation from his wife Kimmy, Bryan is now ready for the next step in his barbecue Career. If you don't know Bryan, I guarantee you after you listen to this show you'll be pulling for him. One of the reasons I started this podcast was because of an Episode I heard on another show about Evie Maes, I was so moved by that story and it inspired me to want to tell those types of stories. What's ironic to me is that now Bryan has bought Evie Mae's trailer to start his own business. You're not going to want to miss this one, this is Sunbird Barbecue!

This is a very special episode for me I get the great honor to Interview welcome back one of my buddies to the Barbecue Scene! Bryan Furman was on top of the Culinary world in 2019, he finished as a semi-finalist for a James Beard Award, he had just been named one of America's Best New Chefs by Food and Wine magazine and Bon Appetit dubbed him as Georgia's New King of BBQ. Just as all the stars seemed to have aligned for Bryan, it happened. During an overnight cook at his main location in the Riverside neighborhood of Atlanta, a fire broke out and in minutes destroyed what he worked so hard to build. It's been just over two years since that fateful night and through his hard work and determination, Bryan is now ready to make his highly anticipated return to the Culinary World. This is just the beginning of the Comeback story for Bryan Furman Barbecue.
