Episode 193 Sept 20, 2016 - A look back at September 11th from 5 years ago...this Saturday will be the 20th anniversary of this event...one that changed our way of life in many ways...especially in the ways we travel now. I have said it before and I will say it again...the further we move past the event itself, the more it becomes “something you read about or see on TV” on that day only. The details fade...especially for those who were too young to remember or who were not even born yet and just know it as an event that happened like WW1 or Pearl Harbor or the Vietnam war….etc. I will continue to close the show the same way I have for the past 13 years...by the single sentence of “September 11th 2001...I will never forget”...because I refuse too...and I hope you refuse to as well.

Show notes

(September 7, 2021 - Hour One) 9:14pm: Welcome to the end of Q3 in 2021! Malcom Reed from How to BBQ Right (and maybe Mark Williams of Swine Life) joins me tonight to talk about tailgating recipes, tailgating best practices and something we haven't really talked about a lot on the show...DEEP FRYING! Malcom and Mark have been playing around with a deep fryer that I have plenty of questions on. If you have a question for Malcom, please send it to me and I will mix it in during our segment tonight! 9:35pm: After Malcom, I am going to try and re-load Carey Bringle of Peg Leg Porker. We tried last month and the technology did not seem to want to participate with us nicely. So we give it another shot tonight. I will get a quick history on Carey and how he got into the BBQ business. We will also talk about his rise to whole hog notoriety, TV appearances and the growth of his brand through various offerings, especially his Tennessee bourbon. BBQ Central Show Sponsors!

**Bonus Content – Greg Guest’s On The Real Food Real People Podcast** Sep 04, 2021

Show notes

Recently I was asked to be a guest on the food based podcast entitled "Real Food Real People" The show is hosted by Pat, and her husband Doug is the "engineer/producer". The show talks about a variety of different food topics and they also have a number of expert guests on to cover whatever the topic of the week is! New episodes are released each week and some even come with a "Second Helping". If you haven't gotten a taste of how The BBQ Central show started, how the show has grown and what my take on wood smoke and cookers are, then you will want to give this a listen! If you find the host (and producer) to be enjoyable, then I suggest you subscribe to their podcast...just search the platform of your choice and give it a follow.

Episode 191 September 4, 2012 - Today we feature one of the most iconic Pitmasters in the Northeast (and the country) Chris Hart from I-Que who was my guest back then and we were talking about the impending Jack Daniels BBQ World Championship he was going to compete in. Back in 2012, Team I-Que was going for their 11th year in a row!! A huge feat regardless of team or sport...they were a past grand champion of the event back in 2009, but 11 years for this event is not something that many, if any, have ever matched or beaten. Chris shares what it was like to win back in 2009 and how a team should gear up to both balance the “experience properly” while also not getting lost in everything going on around them and having it bite them in the butt on game day. A great interview and the info is something that really holds true almost 10 years later. Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Topics we will hit tonight include the new Tex-Mex rub she just announced a handful of weeks ago, Smithfield video shoots, flanken cut beef ribs, washing meat under the sink and much much more. If you have a question for Jess, please email them to me and I will try to mix them in during the segment tonight! 10:35pm - There is a REALLY good chance that we will go a bit longer in the segment with Jess so we will take up the balance with another passage from the book I have been going through the past many months and, perhaps, we will do a few giveaways as well! Maybe none of that will happen and another guest will pop up instead...tune in to see how it unfolds! BBQ Central Show Sponsors!

Episode 191 August 24, 2010 - BBQ Fan favorite Rod Gray of Pellet Envy, is featured on this episode and we talked in-depth about where Wagyu briskets were in that era. If you can believe it, there was a time where wagyu was not the mainstream pick...in fact, 11 years ago or longer, many of the top Pitmasters actually poo-pooed all over it. One of the key points in this segment was me asking Rod if he thinks that wagyu briskets will stick and become the norm...much like injections were roundly dismissed back in the day, they are now something that everyone does...and look what has happened in 2021...wagyu, injections...all standard operating procedure!
