Competition BBQ’s Big Debate: Scott McDonald Gives a Competitor’s Point of View

from Wise Guys Barbecue Podcast

This week on the Wise Guys Barbecue podcast, Vin and Bob sit down with Scott McDonald of Sticks and Stones BBQ to continue the discussion around recent conversations involving CBA, NEBS, and the competition BBQ community After last week’s episode with Matt Pereira, we wanted to continue the conversation and hear a different point of view from someone who is out there competing. Scott brings the competitor perspective and talks through what he’s seeing, where some of the frustration is coming from, and why so much of this debate seems to center around fairness, consistency, dummy boxes, Team of the Year points, and how contests are being run. This episode doesn’t just revisit the debate. It adds more context from the cook side of the equation. Scott also makes it clear that for most teams, competition barbeque is still about having fun, building friendships, and cooking great food, even when the politics and controversy start creeping in. If you watched last week’s episode with Matt Pereira, this is the follow-up you need. Two episodes, two perspectives, one conversation that a lot of competition BBQ teams have been talking about. Watch now and decide for yourself. #barbecue #bbqpodcast #competitionbbq #cba #nebs #sticksandstonesbbq #wiseguysbbq #bbqcommunity #bbq
