On Episode 339 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we welcome our friend Richard Fergola back to the show. The pitmaster of Fergolicious BBQ already has had an eventful 2026 with a vacation to Kenya before teaching a full-on competition BBQ class in Louisville. Now “Fergie” is off for a 10-day BBQ excursion to Costa Rica and Panama. There’s never a dull moment when Fergie is around and he also breaks some news of two new Richard Fergola BBQ sauces that are nearing release.
Joining the show for the first time is Mitch Heath of new show partner Lovely Jubbly BBQ out of Wisconsin. Along with competition cooking, Mitch has a lineup of Lovely Jubbly rubs and gives us a rundown, plus an overview of his BBQ background – and how in the world he came up with his team name.
Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their cooking weeks, news and notes from the BBQ world and breakdown the busy weekend in pro and college football.
