I Got Candid

In this 3rd episode of 'I Got Candid - the Behind the Food TV Podcast', I get candid with brand new Texas Monthly Top 50 inductees Sunbird BBQ’s Bryan Bingham and David Segovia, the star of the most recent "I Got SCHOOLED by the Abilene Oil Man Turned Pitmaster" and new Top 50 inductee, Jay Stearns, and star of one of the most popular videos I’ve made, "I Got SCHOOLED by the Coal Miner Pioneering Eastern KY BBQ", Shawn Thatcher! We of course discuss the new Texas Monthly Top 50 list and how these 2 bbq joints ascended to be on the list, but all four guests also share some invaluable advice for those who aspire to be where they are now.

In this 2nd episode of 'I Got Candid - the Behind the Food TV Podcast', I get candid with Trey Hutchins, Kenneth Cunningham of North Texas BBQ Addicts, and the stars of last week’s I Got Schooled video Jill & Jeff Bergus. With segments like “The Best Bite of BBQ”, “Tradition vs. Innovation in Barbecue”, and “Trendy Barbecue Practices that Need to Just Stop”, the conversation explores their experiences in the barbecue industry, reflections on past episodes, and some really interesting backstory on the Hutchins BBQ family.
