Hour 1:

My first guest tonight is Derrick Riches from About.Com. Derrick spent last week at the annual HPBA Expo in Florida…he will tell us about the best items he saw at the event and if it is something we might want to purchase in the future.

Around the 9:35pm EST the winner of the first annual Smokin’ At The Run contest, Dan Richard of Blazin’ Blues BBQ, will stop in to recap the event and talk about the win. We will also learn a bit about Dan and his team and when they decided to get in to the competition side of things.

Hour 2:

Kicking off the second hour, I will be joined by Chris Capell of Dizzy Pig BBQ. Chris is putting on an ALL CERAMIC bbq competition cooking class, which to my knowledge, has not been offered or done before. Chris will break down the class, what you can expect to learn when taking it and how it differs from other classes out there today. We will also get caught up with the business of Dizzy Pig…a well known purveyor of quality BBQ rubs.

Hour 1:

February 7, 2013 marks the 5th year of the “Live” BBQ Central Show. I want to take a second to thank all of you who listen/watch this show. From very humble beginnings in an Irish Pub in downtown Willoughby, Ohio, to what the show has grown in to today, none of this would have been possible without all of you!! You are the best part of each show and I really appreciate the fact that you tune in each week to hear me host a show about BBQ and Grilling…THANK YOU!!

Everyone loves the BBQ Round Table Shows and the downloads prove it! So, how about we turn the tables tonight and get a panel of folks who are in the “Judges Tent”? You got it!! Have you ever wondered what judges look for, flavor profiles, human biases, garnish vs. no garnish and many other topics to be covered. This will be one you will not want to miss!!

Making up the first ever judges round table are Wayne Brown, BJ Hoffman and Brian Polak. There is a very good chance that we will see this style of round table more than a few times!

Hour 2:

Pitmaster of the American Dream BBQ Team and creator/promoter of “Smokin’ at the Run” BBQ Contest, David Qualls joins me. I will get David’s take on how to put together a first time BBQ contest and how the field is shaping up for this event which will take place March 15th & 16th.

Helping me close the show tonight is…YOU!! I have gotten a few requests for an “Open” segment and you will have your time tonight to call or email in and ask me anything you want. You can also call in and give me your takes about anything that has to do with the world of BBQ and Grilling.

Hour 1:

My first guest tonight just attended the KCBS End of The Year Banquet and received his honor for being top chicken cook in 2012. Pitmaster of Slap Yo Daddy, Harry Soo joins me. Harry will recap his 2012 season and give us some of his highlights.

We will get some background on her, some history on Anheuser-Busch and most importantly, the proper beer pouring techniques. Do not be fooled by your neighborhood bartender…there is a correct way to pull a draft from the tap and I guarantee the majority of them are not doing it correctly!

Helping me close the show tonight are the Bad Ass Bitches! Their first appearance garnered a huge reaction and they are back to hit a number of topics…most of which have nothing to do with BBQ. If you want to ask them questions about life, relationships, cooking…whatever, they are open to take your calls and emails!
