The Best Moments of The BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

Episode 190 August 21, 2021 - Remember the incredibly popular showed on the Food Network called "Chopped"? Of course you do...aside from me, everyone thinks that show is great! In an effort to change it up a bit, Chopped went to a "grill-master" style show that had a number of personalities on it to include Ray Lampe. We talked about how he got on the show and what the experience was like and we also got into having to audition for shows even though he was so accomplished even back then! Ray is always a great guest and this appearance is no different! Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own?? Email Jon Solberg and let him know what you would like to hear on a future episode!

The Best Moments of The BBQ Central Show in 10 Minutes or Less Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

Episode 189 July 10, 2010 - Hot Grill on Grill Action was a guest on the show back then. This was actually done in the “After-Dark” segment before the show blew out to a full two hour weekly show. Logan Hendrickson and Ryan Amos showed up and we talked about their background and how they got into cooking. They were getting ready to be on the 2nd season of BBQ Pitmasters back then. I also gave a quick take before we started talking with the guys about “teams that just wanted to be on TV”...a fun interview to be sure. BTW, Hot Grill on Grill Action has been tied with the show in a number of ways...Flabong-Gos, Original BBQ Songs and more...a great team, a great group of guys and THE BEST BBQ TEAM NAME EVER!! Ryan, Logan, Matt and Chris...shout out!! Hope you guys are doing well. Don’t forget...Matt Framption is also the guy behind Urban Slicer Pizza. Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Jackee Taylor of Relative Unknown Shares Her Story of WITSEC And What Needs To Be Done To Fix It! Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

(August 10, 2021 - Hour Two) 10:14pm - Tonight in the 2nd our I will break format in a fairly dramatic way. A number of months ago, show contributor and Texas Monthly BBQ Editor Daniel Vaughn, turned me on to a podcast documentary called "Relative Unknown". He said I might be interested in it because there was a "Cleveland connection" in it. So I took his suggestion, loaded it into the podcast app and was HOOKED from there! If you are into motorcycle clubs, Hells Angels, the Bomb City and everything else that was going on in Cleveland back in the mid 70's and 80's, then this is a podcast for you. Jackee Taylor, narrator of the podcast and daughter of the main character of the podcast, will join me to talk about how this documentary came together and what it was like living with Butch Crouch before they were spit apart and she was sent into the WITSEC program. The 2nd half of our conversation will focus on the WITSEC program itself, what her experience has been like and what she would do, if she could, to make it better for those in the program now and in the future. Is it BBQ related...NOPE! However, if there is some way I can use the show's platform to help shine on a light on a program that very few of us know anything about and try to help make it better, than I am happy to do this for Jackee and anyone else that might benefit from it!

Episode 188 July 15, 2014 - A visit with Sterling Ball of Big Poppa Smokers...One of the main topics hit that night was “regions of the country” and how it related to flavor profiles.
