Show notes

(November 2, 2021 - Hour One) 9:14pm: Opening November with a BANG...and there will be plenty of turkey talk over the next few weeks as we gear up to make sure you have the best holiday yet! First up, is the pitmaster of Swine Life BBQ, Mark Williams. While we usually chat with Malcom Reed, he has some other things that require his attention tonight and, luckily for me, Mark was free and happy to jump in to discuss turkey, competition BBQ and steak! 9:35pm: After Mark, BBQ journalist Dr. Robert Moss joins me. Tonight we talk about his big event coming up in about 10 days and what you can expect if you will be attending. It sounds like this will be an event that you will remember forever! Robert also has some fairly pointed thoughts on the Texas Monthly BBQ top 50 list. There appears to be some scuttlebutt between Texas and Carolina as well...at least from the Carolina side. Robert will air it out tonight so be sure to tune in! BBQ Central Show Sponsors!

The Best Moments of The BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Episode 199 October 10, 2017 – We have been heavy on the Smoked Cream Cheese trend which is all over social media recently. Well, back in 2017, there was another huge social media trend that was sweeping the nation! Remember a thing called pork belly burnt ends?? In this episode, we spoke with Matt Pittman from Meat Church as he was rebutting what Ray Lampe had to say on the topic the week before. It was a very entertaining segment and, if you listen real close, you can hear Matt accuse Ray of being a "Jerk"...classic!! If you missed the craze back then, here is a good refresher and Matt was a great guest! Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??
