The BBQ Central Show

Episode 238 Taking you back to 6/12/2018 – This week featuring our pal Daniel Vaughn from Texas Monthly. You might recall, from time to time on this show, we talk about “being courageous”…but where did that come from? Well, back in 2018, Daniel Vaughn was a guest and he is the one who coined the phrase “I thought you were courageous on this show”…or something along those line…and, like many things on this show that are cool, it STICKS forever…so if you weren’t around for it the first time, here is a look back into a piece of show history and how it happened in the actual conversation. We actually talked a bit about the “purposeful undercooking of steaks in America” project I did with the EC’s as well…and he took a dump on the temperature we picked to use as a guide…We all know that Daniel is a fancy boy!

(July 12, 2022 – Hour Two) 10:14pm & 10:35pm – After an unrealized (then realized) chase over the past 3 years or so I finally land, not one, but two segment with famed writer, sportsman and food enthusiast, Larry Olmsted! Larry is a best selling author (of all the best sellers lists), writes for the biggest news outlets today and has definitive views on where the world of food and BBQ sit today. Since it’s Larry’s first time on the show tonight, we will build the segment from the ground up, getting a good understanding of where Larry came from, what his culinary pillars were growing up and how he has developed into one of the most respected food/sports writers of our time. He is also one of the most well traveled guests on this show, second to only Steven Raichlen. Join me for what promises to be an instant classic and should find us visiting again on a regular basis.

(July 12, 2022 – Hour One) 9:14pm – Steaming through July we find our regular visit with Meathead from Amazingribs.com. We have had an eventful past few segments and topics that you are really loving and we hope to continue the trend tonight as we go “Myth Busting” and dive into “The Water Pan” myths that exist out there. What is real and what is crap?? We discover the answers together with Meathead! 9:35pm – After Meathead we take a visit from co-founder of The Fireboard, Red Conrad. Fireboard has been a long time sponsor of the show and tonight, Ted joins me from his top secret location in Kansas City to tell us about the latest update/feature you can expect from them.

Episode 236 Taking you back to 7/1/2014 – We feature Pitmaster of Simply Marvelous “The Genie” Steph Franklin. You might find it interesting to note, as you will hear in the show, that Big Mista was the one responsible for introducing Steph to competition BBQ. Neil was a pretty big name back in the day…he’s since gotten out of this part of the industry. So, anyway, we learn about Steph’s catering business and how he got into the rub business. For years, Simply Marvelous and Big Poppa Smokers rubs were linked together because they made up the very popular “West Coast Offense” flavor profile that many different cooks were doing…and to a point…are still doing currently. If you aren’t familiar with The Genie…this is a show you will want to check out. Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Episode 235 Taking you back to 6/26/2012 – Being featured this week is one of my favorites, Diva Q…Danielle Bennett. We go IN DEPTH breaking down the time she was on BBQ Pitmasters and she broke EVERYTHING down that happened on the set and set all of the records straight. This is why people love Danielle…THIS is why people don’t like Danielle…it’s straight shooting, no bullshit, and that tune hasn’t changed over the almost 20 years I have known her and, by the way, it’s the thing that endears me to her most of all. So, on the off chance you aren’t familiar with Diva Q, there will be no better intro to her than this episode! Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Episode 234 Taking you back to 6/21/2011 – My guest this time is fan favorite Ted Reader…and we talk about planning a party and being able to enjoy it instead of being trapped in “working the party” instead of being able to enjoy it. Ted gives a number of tips to help guard against that…we also talk about appetizers and main dishes…all the good stuff. As I was listening back…I did note that Ted seemed to be a little more subdued than the normal energy ball that he is, however, the info is still great 11 years later and, if you aren’t familiar with Ted, this is a great introduction to him…go search his name on the site and see all the times he’s appeared…you WILL find the lamb’s testicles segment if you look hard enough!

(June 21, 2022 – Hour One) 9:14pm – Last month we missed our monthly visit from BBQ & Grilling icon, Steven Raichlen because he was in France and, well, the time zone difference didn’t make for a good match (3am in France).

There is the trip, the most recent BBQ University from a few weeks back and plenty of other stuff as well! 9:35pm – After Steven, I will be joined by the Product Manager from Oklahoma Joe’s Smokers and Grills, Zach Miron.

(June 14, 2022 – Hour One) 9:14pm – Last month when Meathead stopped by we talked about “combustion”.

Episode 232 Taking you back to 8/5/2012 – Featuring Meathead from Amazing Ribs.

This isn’t the original segment, but this one occurred a few years after and we revisit this conversation as, at the time, Meathead was worried about me not representing his side of the argument properly, so, we got into it to clear everything up! It’s pretty great even 10 years later! 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!

Tonight, Chuck and I will talk about how the all mighty hamburger is making its way into more and more traditional BBQ restaurants and why that trend is growing.

May 4th, 2022 – Rebecca King, aka The Bad Jew, made a return back to her original home in Cleveland, Ohio. The past few years, Rebecca has been hard at work getting The Bad Jew going out in her new home in LA and she has had great success introducing her “Porkstrami” to the west coast folks…and anyone she runs into along the way. On this particular day, we met up for a quick lunch at my pal Jeremy Umansky’s restaurant, the multiple time James Beard nominated Larder Delicatessen on the west side of Bomb City, USA! After lunch, we hit the coffee shop next to Larder where we recorded this podcast. Thanks to Rebecca for taking the time to speak with me, share her passion for food, business and, most of all, the porkstrami!! Her passion for pork and for The Bad Jew is infectious, undeniable , and perhaps, unstoppable!

Episode 227 From 5/26/2015 – being featured this week is one of the pitmasters of The Pork Brothers Competition Team – Mike Fritz! He and his 2 other team members were running the rib burner circuit back then…the rib circuit is much different than a KCBS, FBA, SLBBQ, the Texas sanctioning bodies or most any competition BBQ sanctioning body really…if you ever have the “rib burn-off” events in your hometown…there were MANY back in the day here in Cleveland and there are still a few big ones each summer…THAT is the rib circuit. They go from festival to festival, pay pretty large entry fees…and then VEND…at the end of the weekend, there is usually a people’s choice winner and sometimes there is a “local celebrity” judge panel judging to proclaim a winner of the weekend as well…really, when you strip it back, while I am sure everyone wants to win the weekend…they all just really want to make as much money as they can vending their ribs. I remember a guy by the name of Billy Bones…he was BIG on the rib burner circuit back in the early 2000’s…he told me one time that it was hard to even get in the circuit…spots were willed down to family members…kind of like HLSR spots…So, you’ll get a background on Mike Fritz (a private jet pilot) and he talks about a few recent events…pretty interesting stuff!

Episode 226 From 5/3/2011 – This week we feature Chris Hart from the I-que BBQ team…We work through a bit of technical issues right up front, which you will hear…but the big topic of the segment was Chris being a part of a TV show called “Best In Smoke” that was on The Food Network. Chris explained how the show was going to happen and it was taking place over a 4 episode run…back in 2011 BBQ and TV was still a thing. In fact, there were a number of cable networks that were trying their hand at it. Food Network, The Cooking Channel and Destination America were the 3 biggest…Destination America would probably be considered to be the network that was king of BBQ TV at that point. There were a few other items that were mentioned before we started talking about the show…one of which was an axe that I was continually grinding on back in those days with KCBS and garnish (I have since stopped caring)… The other was Chris’s prediction that, back in 2011, there was going to be a growth in ”Big Money Contests” according to Chris…I would say, that not soon after, all of the big money events tailed…and 11 years later, that is not a phrase you really hear at all anymore…that being “big money contest” Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

Episode 215 Taking you back to February 2017 – Following up on his appearance last week, Ray Lampe (Dr. BBQ) is the feature on this week’s Best Moments show. This particular show, I visited with Ray who was, at the time, 3 months or so into opening the Dr. BBQ restaurant and what it had been like for everyone involved. If you remember, we did a number of segments leading into the actually opening of this place…it just went ON AND ON…I think it was near 2 years…maybe a little less…before this place opened so there was a ton if hype and anticipation when the doors finally opened…and from all accounts, it appears to still be quite a success…so congrats to Ray and the partners on their success.

Episode 214 Taking you back to 2017 – Clarence Joseph of Momma and Poppa Joe’s BBQ joined me. This time of year brings the San Antonio Rodeo and BBQ Cook Off. Back in 2016, CJ won that event and, during this visit, I had him back on to talk about his chances of going back to back GC at that event…we also talked about what it was like for him to teach competition BBQ classes…and then have his students go out and beat him at the events that followed later in those years…a bitter sweet issue that we talked about! If you aren’t familiar with CJ, he is as genuine as they come, an incredible human and a great competition cook…so this is something I know you will enjoy.
