We like KCBS judges. We really do. It’s just that a small percentage of really bad ones cast a dark shadow and drive many teams out of the sport. On Episode 75 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Show Podcast, we discuss our thoughts on this topic after getting a first-hand look at … um … interesting scoring the past weekend.

Meanwhile, we then move on and talk to people a lot smarter than us about BBQ. Lee Thompson of Florida BBQ Association Team of the Year Pig Chicka Cow Cow joins us to talk about the frustration of how contests – with or without good judging – have ground to a halt in his neck of the woods.

Also this week, Jeni Huelskamp from the Pits N Grills BBQ teams reflects on a fabulous weekend for that team at Smokin’ on the Osage in Osceola, Missouri. Jeni also owns and operates Manly Cans, a great business that fans of BBQ might be interested in.
