BBQ in Britain with Kevin Edge of Edge BBQ Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, we’ll take another trip across the Atlantic for a stopover in the city of Slough, England, just some 45 minutes west of London to talk with my good friend Kevin Edge of Edge BBQ.

I first learned about Kevin’s work cooking with live fire via his Instagram account. Do yourself a favor and give it a follow over @edge_bbq. The images are stunning, and you can get a sense of the enjoyment Kevin derives from cooking for his friends and family.

We’ll also learn that Kevin’s expertise cooking with live fire is something that’s come to him over the past several years.

I love these kinds of stories, as they reinforce an idea shared time and time again from real-life chefs such as the late great Julia Childs as well as fictional ones seen in animated films like Ratatouille… the idea that no matter where we begin in our cooking, grilling and smoking food journey – anyone can cook!

Sous Vide Meets Live Fire with Darrin Wilson Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, I’m talking with Darrin Wilson, host of the Fire and Water Cooking Podcast. Many of you have seen the countless sous vide cooking method videos on YouTube by now… you know… where food is seasoned and placed raw into vacuum-sealed bags and left to rest in a circulating hot water bath set at specific finishing temperatures.

While Darrin works a lot with this method, the Fire and Water nature of his show focuses on taking various proteins through the sous vide process and finishing them off in different ways using live fire. Hence… the name of his show – the Fire and Water Cooking Channel.

On a side note, I really enjoyed talking with and getting to know Darrin not only for his cooking knowledge but because he is a fellow inhabitant of my part of Central Florida. It’s always nice to get to know more local folks who are passionate about cooking with fire.

I think you’ll really enjoy this talk with Darrin, especially if you’re a traditional live fire cook who has wanted to start using the sous vide method as part of your culinary arsenal.

Types of Casings to Use
Making Your Own Home Curing Chamber

David Bouska of Butcher BBQ Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of The BBQ Beat Podcast, I'm talking with David Bouska of Butcher BBQ. David's success on the BBQ trail and as the provider of one of the most popular competition and grilling product lines in the world requires little in the way of introduction.

A two time World BBQ Champion, David knows what it takes to cook and win under pressure. That said, he is one of the nicest, most inviting people you'll ever meet.

We cover a lot of ground during my talk with David, and you'll definitely want to listen through to the end.

David offers a ton of insights and several "Golden Nuggets" of information both on the product as well as the "How To" side of things.

You'll learn about David's background growing up on a Black Angus farm in Oklahoma and how he got his start learning the butcher's trade.

Of course, we cover some particulars about his Butcher BBQ product line, with some thought-provoking information on how you might want to put his line of Grilling Oils into play.

We cover the outstanding success David's son, Levi, has had with his Butcher BBQ Stand restaurant, and round things out with some information about why David decided to start The Butcher BBQ Podcast.

Catching Up with Daniel Vaughn of Texas Monthly Magazine Apr 13, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, I’m talking with Texas Monthly BBQ Editor Daniel Vaughn.

As many of you know, Daniel contributes BBQ restaurant reviews and cultural history articles that go way beyond what you might call typical food blogging. I’ve followed his writing since purchasing his 2013 book The Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey Through Texas Barbecue.

Daniel’s book covers all of the varied styles of BBQ cooked across the great state of Texas in a way that showcases the various ways BBQ is prepared but, more importantly, shares the stories and history behind how those styles developed.

In this regard, it has a style that’s very similar to the North Carolina BBQ book written by John Shelton Reed and his wife Dale Volberg Reed, called Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue.

As I listened to the recording of my interview with Daniel Vaughn, I realized just how much ground we covered a relatively short amount of time.

Here are just a few things you won’t want to miss from my talk with Daniel Vaughn:

Daniel’s friendship with Anthony Bourdain during and after the publishing of Prophets of Smoked Meat
BBQ restaurants that deserve more press than they get
The impact Daniel's Texas Monthly BBQ reviews have on BBQ restaurants
Why Daniel fears one particular style of Texas BBQ may be at risk of becoming a thing of the past
How to know the best time to hit that BBQ spot you’ve been dying to try
What it was like working with Sam Jones on his book about whole hog BBQ

I counted, and during our talk, Daniel and I reference about 24 different BBQ restaurants. Most of these are within Texas, but Oklahoma and North Carolina factor into our talk as well.

I think you’re going to enjoy this interview with Daniel. If you do, please take the time to tag him @bbqsnob on social media and let him know. I am sure he’ll appreciate it.

Talking Masterbuilt Gravity Series with John and John II McLemore Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

This episode features a really great conversation I had recently with John McLemore and his son, John II, of Masterbuilt.

We all love stories about small business success. Someone starts up an effort we might refer to as a side hustle – working evenings and weekends to build up a business they can call their own. This is the pathway that Dawson McLemore embarked upon in the early 1970s.

Today, Masterbuilt is one of the biggest manufacturers of cooking devices ranging from smokers to fryers, to their newly released Gravity Series Charcoal Grill and Smokers.

Now, with the investment of Dominus Capital, Masterbuilt is connected with the Smoke Hollow and Kamado Joe brands, and we’ll cover all of these topics during our talk.

Visit the main Masterbuilt Gravity Series site and follow them on social @masterbuilt for more info.

And of course, follow The BBQ Beat Podcast on Instagram as well!
