This week’s Wise Guys BBQ Podcast is a special one! We sit down with 2025 James Beard Nominee, Executive Chef Andy Teixeira for a two-part conversation you won’t want to miss.

First, Tommy takes you on-site at Andy’s Fire Dinner (recorded live back in July) for an exclusive interview as the flames roar and the dishes come to life. Then, Chef Andy joins Tommy and Vin on the Wise Guys set for a deeper dive into the creative process behind his unforgettable meal.

From procuring meats from local farms to making jelly from foraged dandelions, sourcing fresh vegetables from Newport Vineyards’ own farm, pairing wines, and designing a menu cooked entirely over fire — Andy shares the passion and imagination that drive his cooking.

Tommy also recalls some of his favorite dishes from the dinner, while Andy gives us a peek inside his mind as he built the experience plate by plate.

From the crackle of the flames to the unforgettable dishes, Andy shares what makes his live-fire dinners such a one-of-a-kind experience. Don’t miss this rare inside look at a chef pushing the boundaries of BBQ and live-fire cooking.

👉 Tune in for an inspiring conversation with a chef who truly lives to cook and create.
