At this point in time…BBQ TV was at its highest level. In this segment we talk about the, then, 2nd season of BBQ Pitmasters…this was the year that the show went from “reality show” to “game show”...and it never switched back after that. We talked about the comments he was seeing on social media…how that pays into future iterations of the show and all that stuff.I would like to say this…first…John is a beauty…one of my favorite BBQ people ever…PERIOD…and for a myriad of reasons…not the least of which is…he is just a great human man…I have been very critical of shows that are “game show style” shows…but it has taken this long for me to realize…that it’s easier to continue to do a show in that format…then it is doing any other format…and it took Michael Symon to tell me that for me to finalize realize and accept it…so I do now. I understand why they did it…I understand it had sustained success once they did it…and I hated every season after they made the switch…but I get it now!!So, if you don’t know about John Markus or BBQ Pitmasters…this is a great show to check out this coming Friday!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Sam The Cooking Guy Has Griddles; Steve Ray Breaks Down Dawgs! Sep 05, 2024

Show notes

(September 3, 2024 - Hour Two)

10:14pm - Leading off the 2nd hour is our pal and favorite YouTube food guy, Sam The Cooking Guy. It feels like it has been forever since Sam has been on...and, frankly, it has been! So tonight we will catch up on a number of topics to include cast iron skillets, Jollibee spaghetti and a number of questions when it comes to eating out a restaurants.

10:35pm - Closing the show tonight is my long time pal and show favorite, Steve Ray from Owl's Nest BBQ Supply. Steve and I have a shared interest in competitive food sport...mainly eating. Steve has covered this part of the industry extensively this year and tonight we break down the event that took place on Netflix yesterday afternoon. Billed as "Unfinished Beef", Netflix got Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi together in one room for 10 minutes to see who is the best hot dog eater in all the land. I don't want to spoil the results for you here, so if you didn't watch yesterday and you plan on catching it at some point in the next few days or week...don't listen to this segment...we will ruin it all for you!
