We've had many American Royal winners on the show before, but not like this guy.
It's never been done before! Our guest this week just won BOTH major events (Invitational and Open) at the 2022 American Royal World Series of BBQ. No one saw him coming - it was his first ever American Royal. An Executive Chef out of the Chicago area, Grant Basiliere did the impossible by first defeating over 200 other teams in the Invitational Competition and then again, the next day, ended up on top of over 500 other teams in the Open Competition.

Dave and Andy talk about making that fall classic, chili.

What's the one thing BBQ legend Johnny Trigg had wished Tim Scheer had told him about hot and fast drum cooking before he started? We've got it right here for you. If you are thinking about making the switch to a drum cooker (like the Gateway Drum Cookers) then this show is for you. World Champion Pitmaster Tim Scheer blew the literal lid off of the "low and slow" barbecue world when he masterminded the Gateway Drum Smoker and beat over 600 teams at the American Royal BBQ Competition in 2012 with his ribs that were cooked in two hours and 15 minutes.  His "hot and fast" method, as well as his Gateway smoker, is rapidly becoming a backyard favorite. Dave and Andy will discuss the melding of BBQ and salad?!? They might take away our BBQ cards for this one!
