(April 30, 2024 - Hour One)

9:14pm - John and John (J2) McLemore join me to lead off the show tonight as we talk about their new book "Gather & Grill". Currently available for preorder, John and J2 will talk about the recipes that make it into the book, what those recipes mean to them and, of course, we will talk about how this book came together. What is especially interesting to me is, during their time of ownership at Masterbuilt, there was plenty of opportunity to drop a "brand-based" book but it never happened. Tune in for what will be a great segment.

9:35pm - After The McLemore Boys, the creator of the World Food Championships, Mike McCloud, joins me to talk about two different topics. In no particular order, we will discuss the 2024 version of the Famous Dave's All-Star BBQ Challenge Series. We will also talk about the 2024 version of the World Food Championships and why they pulled up their steaks in Dallas and planted them in Indianapolis. Both are big topics and both need to be dug into a lot more! Catch it tonight and be the first to hear why Mike is doing the move!
