Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 322: Hugh Munro, Steven Raichlen

from Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast · host Lyndal Scranton, Steve Koehler

Hugh Munro of Ambition Que might be the oldest man in competition BBQ. But the 73-year-old former drag racer doesn't mind the title one bit - particularly after likely becoming the oldest KCBS Grand Champion at last weekend's Bud's, Brews & BBQ in Columbia, Missouri. On Episode 322 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with Hugh about his late-start to competition BBQ and how it feeds his hunger to high-level competition after being involved in national-touring drag racing for many years. The Minnesota native now based in Springfield, Missouri, discusses how he got started in BBQ and said it's not about the money but rather the love of the sport that has him looking for his next big trophy.  An encore segment from earlier this year brings Steven Raichlen back to explore his latest book, Project Griddle. It's the latest in a long line of great cookbooks from the BBQ Hall of Famer, who's always a fountain of information about outdoor cooking. Charlie Wallace joins us from Grill Guys of Missouri to review the latest from the standout BBQ supply store in Republic. Co-hosts Steve and Lyndal also talk about their latest cooking adventures and review the start of the NFL season. Check out the show in the link below or on your favorite #podcast platform.
