John and Rebecca are joined this week (and next) by L. Drew Pumphrey of the Smoking Swine Food Truck. We run through a bunch of topics up top and then get into the BBQ. We talk about how he started, how he gamed the system to get to the start and how he had a plan to fail before everything started. We end right as Drew was about to get the nod from everyone's friend Guy Fieri. Thanks for listening. Cheers!
