Awesome Podcast and even better hosts.

The knowledge and experience that Rusty and Anthony bring to the table is top notch. The featured guests are phenomenal. I love the comp guests but my favorite guests are the guys and gals that have a food trailer/truck. I am traveling that route and I am taking all of the knowledge and mistakes that are mentioned here to help my food truck life start out hopefully flawless, well small flaws are part of the learning curve.

Keep up the great work and keep the podcasts coming.

Could be five stars, but..

I love listening to these guys. It is definitely informative if you’re into competition barbecue, which I am not. I really wish they would change the direction of the show a little bit instead of pure competition . I mean how many people out there are into competition compared to people that just cook in the backyard. I honestly enjoy, just listening to their chatter before the podcast start and generally just delete it after that. Sorry but that’s the truth..

Awesome Podcast

I never miss an episode. Love the interviews, tips-and-tricks along with the updates on what’s happening in the BBQ world. Speaking of updates, any word on the November Backyard down in St. George this year. Love that event, I go every year. As a long time listener, Thank you both for all your hard work putting on the podcast. Keep it up , you two work good together.
