The Origin Story of Fred Bernardo - The Smokin' Guitar Player Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

(October 15, 2024 - Hour One)

9:14pm & 9:35pm - Last month, the EC's and I put a new class into the Guest Hall of Fame. Tonight we start our "Origin Story" segments with the HOF'ers and we lead with the Smokin Guitar player himself, Fred Bernardo. Back in the day, Fred was a sponsor of the show, a creator of rubs and sauces, a competition pitmaster and a really good musician! He was ahead of his time in many respects and, perhaps unknowingly, laid the groundwork for a lot of pitmasters that would come after him. Be sure to tune in for what promises to be a great 2 segments in the first hour!
