They kick things off with their favorite cigars before diving into barbecue styles, chili recipes, and unforgettable restaurant experiences. Along the way, they trade tips on smoking techniques for chili and meatloaf, debate vinegar vs. ketchup-based barbecue, and swap stories about memorable meals.

Adding to the mix are call-ins from Lee’s kids, Madison and Jackson, who share personal stories—including Jackson’s work as a special education teacher.
