What’s in a name? Daryl Walker aka Sweetie has been in the bbq game for some time now. As a competitive bbq cook, as a backyard warrior, as a food truck operator, as a restaurateur, as a rub and sauce maker. He even did a little TV time for bbq. This makes him super well rounded as a Pitmaster but he remains the ultra humble guy in the room. Sweetie is also the guy that you know exactly how he feels. Especially when it’s a winning weekend, dancing, singing, hooting, passing out or shedding a bit of a tear as he makes his way to the top. His raw emotion is as real as it gets. It’s why the TV folks were after him to be on the show it’s why he is one of my favorite bbq guys. He is real, he is raw, he is talent. The real deal trying to make his family proud and doing a great job at it. Sweetie was one of my favorites to have on the show and I can’t lie talking to him gets you in your feelings too.
