Taking you back to 11/20/2013 - Being featured this week is the first Tuesday of the month regular guest in the 2nd hour, Sam The Cooking Guy! What’s even more special about this show…holding Sam to the side…is that this is one of those “Wednesday” shows…remember, there was a short but definitive period in time when the show DID IT LIVE on Tuesdays…and then did an additional hour on Wednesdays!! It was so long ago, I forgot that I did that…

this show took place in the basement of my Amy and Ed Levon’s house…Yes, of the Wickliffe Levons…because I was in housing transition at this point in time…had to move out of my current home because renters needed in…home we were building at the time wasn’t finished…so had to move in with the in-laws for about 8 weeks until everything was done…so I was doing all shows from their basement…they let me take it over, set up the studio and DO IT LIVE from there basement…WOW…that was a time! 

There is actually a show that Job did a number of months ago where he featured Amy Levon as a guest…we talked about how her, then, young son had an aversion to mashed potatoes…I know…CRAZY!!

Anyway, check out the Best Moments show this Friday and listen to a Wednesday show with me and Sam The Cooking Guy talking about Thanksgiving.

This year specifically has seen some of the biggest names in the space bring their version to market for you to buy. Which one is best, who has played with any or all of there? The answer is The Barbecue Lab!! David recently released a video on his YouTube page going over all the popular options, putting them through different paces and letting you know which ones performed and which ones were a tad lack luster. We will discuss during the segment tonight!

9:35pm - After David, the creator of Cookout News join me. Wes Wright and I will discuss the latest business happenings over the past 30 days to include new items being released by Char-Broil and Napoleon.

Taking you back to 11/15/2011 - Being featured this week is a guy by the name of Shane Draper…he was the founder of “Draper’s BBQ” back in the day. He ended up becoming a very successful seller of sauce and rub…and eventually became quite an integral part of Grilla Grills before they sold to AOB a few years back…so Shane, if you still listen…hope you are well and that you and yours enjoy a great holiday season.

If you go to the full show…there is also a segment with Dr. BBQ talking about deep frying turkeys, so if that’s something you might be getting into during the Thanksgiving Holiday, you might want to give that a listen and see if 14 year old content still holds water.

By the way, the talk out of this particular best moments show is great…Jon REALLY goes over the top to sell it…and he does it well…even I went to the old show and listened to the whole thing…and, as he promised, it was great and filled with value! So…thank you Jon for the build up!

Taking you back to 11/3/2015 - Being featured this week is the pitmaster of Sweet Smoke Q…long time friend of this show…Jim Elser. At this time of Jim’s life, he had won the WFC BBQ side of things in 2014…so we were talking about his chances of repeating as BBQ champ, if he was going to switch profiles and what products he was thinking about using for the event in an attempt to go back to back…and I won’t spoil it for you. 

Jim has been a tremendous competitor for years, has a great BBQ business and, most recently, fought and is currently winning his own battle with a very serious cancer…so if you don’t know Jim, this is a great segment to get to know him and hear about the WFC…by the way, the WFC is set to start this coming weekend in Indianapolis.

Taking you back to 11/3/2015 - Taking a break from the American Royal lead up from the past few weeks, today we enjoy a visit from BBQCS Guest Hall of Fame'er, Ray Lampe (Dr. BBQ). In this segment we were talking about a book he was writing from Big Green Egg. It was something that had never happened during his 10+ year relationship with them (at the time). We also answered some "Ask Dr. BBQ" questions as well since Ray was doing a monthly guest segment at that point in the show's life.
