Inside Competition BBQ: Golden Tickets, Big Events & What’s Next

Kathy and Tom Trainer from Inclusive Barbecue join the Wise Guys BBQ Podcast to talk competition barbecue, earning a golden ticket to the World Steak Cookoff, and what it takes to grow a major BBQ event in the Northeast. In this episode, we catch up with Kathy and Tom on their recent competition experiences, the nerves and excitement of cooking on a bigger stage, and how their August event in Maine is growing after being selected for the World Cup. They also break down what they’re seeing in the current competition BBQ scene, why some teams are being more selective with contests, and how organizers are adapting. We also get into what makes the Inclusive Barbecue community special, how new teams are getting welcomed into the sport, and the logistics behind running a bigger event for a great cause.
