Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 327: Ryan King; Aaron Huentelman

Since the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast began a decade ago, one of our mantras has been "we talk to champions." Episode 327 features the latest BBQ world champion. It's Ryan King of Kings BBQ out of Jacksonville, Florida, the Grand Champion at last weekend's Jack Daniels World Invitational in Lynchburg, Tenn. Beginning at the 10:22 mark, Ryan tells us about a cook that placed him among the legends - and how it wasn't exactly without challenges along the way. We also explore Ryan's background in BBQ and how Kings BBQ has emerged as one of the top teams in the country, even before making history at The Jack. We also talk it over with Aaron Huentelman, competition meat manager of Mister Brisket starting at the 34:54 mark about the looming deadline to place orders for the upcoming American Royal World Series of BBQ. Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their cooking weeks and take a tour of the sports world while looking ahead to what's going on the smoker this weekend.  Check out the show in the link below or on your favorite #podcast platform, or go to our Tailgate Guys Facebook page (link in IG bio).
