Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 329: American Royal preview

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

Episode 329 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast is our 45th American Royal World Series of BBQ preview. First up is a conversation, beginning at the 6:30 mark, with American Royal BBQ Manager Kayci Vincent and director of communications Allyssa King about what teams and spectators can expect from the world's largest BBQ competition. The fun is set for Nov. 6-9 at Kansas Speedway. Then we bring back our roundtable of first-time American Royal competitors with a trio of pit masters - Kurt Brauner from Rack City BBQ out of Las Vegas; Dan Wright of Take it Easy BBQ from St. Louis and Bradley Vollmer of Meats My Mistress BBQ from Pilot Grove, Missouri. The segment starts at the 20:43 mark as we learn a bit about each team and why this was the year to make their debut at The Royal.  We also check in with Charlie Wallace from the Grill Guys of Missouri at 42:48 with the latest from the Republic, Missouri, store plus a review of a big cooking weekend for them and a preview of another one ahead. 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 next.  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).
