Browsey Acres Wagyu & Bartz Barbecue Both Make Their Debut ! Jan 31, 2024

Show notes

(January 30, 2024 - Hour One)

10:14pm - We stay with the beef talk but switch out of "craft beef" and jump into some Wagyu talk with the co-owner of Browsey Acres, Travis Browne. For the MMA fans out there, you would know Travis from his days in UFC, Strikeforce and other MMA sanctioning bodies as a heavyweight fighter. Tonight we will learn how a world class fighter goes from the octagon to the pastures as he and his wife look to build a sustainable wagyu farm business to bring you the highest quality, most nutrient dense meat available in the market. Outside of the beef, they are also selling farm raised chickens to give you an alternative to the consumer grade option you normally find in the grocery stores.

10:35pm - Coming out of the bullpen tonight is a first time guest, BBQ caterer, BBQ pop up business owner and is knee deep in "The BBQ Wars" of Los Angeles where he has been exposing others in the space for over-charging, Dustin Bartz of Bartz Barbecue. We will talk all about that, how he got started in BBQ in the first place, how he is able to operate the way he does and what his future plans are for his BBQ business. Oh, he also seems to be dominating the BBQ social media game on Instagram recently, so we'll talk to him about that as well.

Show notes

(January 30, 2024 - Hour One)

9:14pm & 9:35pm - It's the first month with 5 Tuesdays and it also happens to be the first month of the new year! Let's close out January with some top level MEAT talk! We lead off tonight with Jeff Smith, the co-founder of Colorado Craft Beef. The company is now in its 5th generation of ownership, but Jeff and his wife Kara have focused on getting CCB to the next level from both an operational and a sales stand point. Tonight, during both segment, we will explore Jeff's background, talk about the history of the company and how they have had to change over time in order to stay relevant in an ever-growing meat marketplace. We will also talk about their cattle raising process, what becoming "vertically integrated" has meant to their business and, perhaps most importantly, what you can expect as a consumer if you are looking to give their beef a try.

Show notes

(January 23, 2024 - Hour One)

9:14pm - Can you believe we are NEAR the end of January already? 2024 Rapidly coming to a close and tonight we lead off with Christie Vanover from Girls Can Grill. Christie lives in Vegas and attended the 2024 CES that Wes and I talked about last week. We will get her take on what some of these items looked like in person, her take on how successful they might be and what else she has going on in her live-fire word! Christie also just launched a new podcast hat we will discuss as well.

9:35pm - After Christie, I will be joined by official show cigar expert, Mr. Jonathan from The Cigar Authority podcast. As you might recall, we have been going to "Cigar School" the last few times Mr. J has been on going over the parts that make up a cigar. Tonight we explore the last part...the "filler". What tobacco makes this up, what is its purpose, what flavors do they add and all the other things that filler tobacco is known for. We will also talk about the 2023 Cigar of The Year as chosen by TCA and some other topics as well.

Call to order today: (850) 458-8782 and ask for Kevin! Mention The BBQ Central Show for 10% off your entire order!!___________________________________________Taking you back to - 1/19/20010 - Being featured this week are the co-founders of the “Officially” unofficial band of the BBQ Central Show, 3 Years Hollow. Lead singer Jose Urquiza and then lead guitarist Tony Reeves, joined me for the first time and we talked about their journey into music, who inspired them and what it was like trying to break into the industry at that time. You might recall, a little over a year ago, Jose actually sat in as a guest judge for the final season of BBQCS American Idol…the season that I won!This was a very fun interview to do and listening back to it a week or so ago, it was great to hear it again and also its fun to get outside the box of the normal conversation of BBQ and Grilling and get some perspective on other industries…especially one that most of us have dreamed of doing at one point in our life…who wouldn't want to be a rockstar?I still use 3YH music to this day and I am a huge fan of all of ther music. If you are into that Sevendust, Breaking Ben, Chevelle type music…but in their own voice…I suggest giving them a search in Spotify…all their music is there and it’s really good!!

Wisconsin Is Selling BBQ Supplies; CES Is The Place To Reveal New Grills! Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

(January 16, 2024 - Hour One)

9:14pm - The 2rd Tuesday bring new guests of many sorts. We lead off the interviews tonight with someone who has been in the BBQ Supply business in Wisconsin for the past 3 years. Mike Luce joins me to talk about why he got into it, what business has been like and what you want to consider if this is something you want to get into.

9:35pm - After Mike, I will be joined by 3rd Tuesday of the month regular guest, Wes Wright, from Cookout News (dot com). Plenty of new items have popped up over the past 4 weeks and we will get all the insight with Wes. Perhaps one of the most important items we will cover tonight is if ALL major grill/BBQ makers should be looking to go to CES first before any other industry/trade convention during the year going forward. CES happened last week, NBBQA happens between 1/31/2024-2/3/2024 (San Antonio) and HPBExpo happens 2/13/2024-2/15/2024 (Nashville). Which one really bring "the heat" for your dollar?
