In this segment we talked about his 2013 competition season and we also talked about the WFC…which was in its sophomore season at that time. Bob won the ribs category that year and we talked about that as well.Interestingly enough…during Jon’ s talk out of this week’s show, he mentioned that Bob Trudnak is one of, if not the most, under-vslued people in the industry…I have to say, I am not in a position to disagree with that statement. I know there are those of you who go way back with the show and you know what Bob has accomplished…but there is a new generation of live-fire enthusiasts who probably have NO IDEA who Bob is, what he’s done in the industry and what he has accomplished on the competition and business side of things…it’s just a name…so I will agree with Jon on this…Bob is highly under-valued in regards to his whole body of work in this industry…and from a show perspective…has been associated with me since DAY ONE…legitimately DAY ONE!Bob, hope you are well…hope you are having a great holiday season…and look forward to catching up with you next year!!!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??

This segment was done on the Embedded Correspondents segment…from length of time to wait to hear awards to feeling like the BBQ event was treated as a second class citizen, to rules not being clearly written, to people and teams not getting checks on time…Doug really…GAVE IT…to that version of the WFC…so much so…as to say he would never be going back to this event again…EVER!The best part of the segment is the former Tennessee EC, Steve Ray, telling Doug that DOUG was the only one who didn’t seem to know the rules…so classic!Ready to make a “BEST OF” show all your own??
