This Week In Barbecue

Smoke Signals & Soul Plates: A Memphis in May Recap


Listen Later

Welcome back to This Week In Barbecue, the podcast where we’re bringing more heat than plantation fires — and this week, we’re smokin’ on all cylinders.

We kick things off with a full recap of Memphis in May: who took home the trophies, what it felt like to be the event’s first-ever ambassador (hint: surreal), and how the food, nightlife, and fellowship made this year unforgettable. Plus, we’re already scheming for 2026.

Then we shift gears and get real: Sheed and James drop a hot take on why some trees you plant won’t give you shade — and why that’s okay. This one’s for the builders, the dreamers, and the slow-cookers grinding toward greatness.

From there, it’s all flavor:

  • Why that BBQ tub and heat blanket combo might just change your life

  • What forks, Devil’s Food Cake, and smoked desserts have in common

  • How to find your BBQ tribe — and why community builds confidence better than solo grind ever could

  • A listener-submitted question that sparks a powerful convo about support, growth, and accountability

And for dessert? Juneteenth BBQ stories, your cousin’s unsolicited brisket advice, DJ grill-side commentary, and the “Gingers Are Black” trend that has TikTok both confused and cracking up.

Whether you’re tending a fire, dodging Auntie’s third plate, or just looking for your tribe — this one’s for you.

Hit play, pull up a plate, and let’s build together.
