We’ve seen countless top-notch competition BBQ teams leave the sport over the last several years, but on Episode 364 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast we tell you about one who’s coming back after an extended break. Sanj Kirubakaran of Thump and Strum BBQ blazed to four Grand Championships and five RGCs from 2013-19 and, after feeling burned out, Sanj took time away. Now he is back with a renewed enthusiasm. We get the details from Sanj with his thoughts on the state of today’s comp world.
We also welcome the new owners of long-time show supporter The Butcher Shoppe in Pensacola, Stelio and Cristen Peterson. We talk to them about their culinary background, including a Greek catering business, and how they view the competition world fitting into The Butcher Shoppe. Good news – the great A9s are not going anywhere.
Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their cooking adventures and discuss a few sports topics.
