On Episode 365 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with two of last weekend’s big winners on the competition circuit. First up is Brad Bess of Rowdy Pig BBQ, who enjoyed a spectacular doubleheader at Smokin’ on the Osage in Osceola, Missouri. He scored 707.3944 both days – a remarkable feat that earned him Grand Championship honors on Day 1 and RGC on Day 2 to Bad Dog BBQ. Brad, from Bonne Terre, Mo., tells us a bit about his start in competition cooking and who’s helped him along the way.
Then we head to central Iowa to learn more about Jeff Wilkerson, postmaster of Smokey D’s Wannabees, grand champion at the Shenandoah Shen-Dig in Shenandoah, Iowa. As you might have guessed by the team name, the Wannabees is a tribute to the Hall of Famer Darren Warth of Iowa Smokey D’s BBQ.
Meanwhile, the co-hosts break down their week, including the first competition since April. It was a productive weekend and a good time at Smokin’ on the Osage where Tailgate Guys BBQ walked away with plaques for 8th-place ribs on Day 1 and a thrilling 1st-place ribs call on Day 2.
