This one's been a long time coming.

My buddy Mel Chmilar Jr. (Dark Side of the Grill) finally sat down with me, and somehow we managed to balance absolute chaos with one of the most real conversations we've had.

If you know Mel, you know he's the guy screaming "FIRE IN THE HOLE!", cooking all over the world, and somehow turning every event into a party. But this episode isn't just about barbecue. We talk about the road that's taken him around the globe, the memories we've made together, and some of the personal battles he's been carrying behind the scenes.

More than anything, Mel wanted people to know it's okay to talk. You never know what someone is going through.

And because no episode is ever normal... Ty randomly joins us at the end while the three of us are somehow in three different countries.

Give it a watch, leave a comment, and let us know your favorite Mel story.
