Stoned Appetit

On this week's episode of NVC's "Stoned Appetit" the gang sit down with Texas Monthly editor & esteemed author, Daniel Vaughn, to hunt for the best brisket & Texas-style BBQ Colorado has to offer. The episode may be a tad long-winded, but that's because there is alot we needed to learn about clean & dirty smoking... the difference between actually grilling & pellet grillers, and the Texas-Q revolution, taking over the country... state by state.... after we sat down to talk all things food & life, Daniel dubbed Owlbear BBQ (on Larimer St in RiNo) one of the best Q spots in town, and we had to know why... so half we thru, we sit down with Karl, Pitmaster of Owlbear... and let Daniel drag him over his coals about his inspiration, how he got his Q knowledge and how he gets his meats so tender. For those that don't know, Daniel is one of the top writers & foodies for the BBQ scene around the country, and the globe.. so we took honor that he was willing to sit down with us, shoot the shit & make him use new words like "dank" and "food that fucks" -- you're welcome, Daniel. Follow @BBQSnob on IG & Twitter, and be sure to follow his magazine @TexasMonthly too... (while you're at it: Follow @NoVacancyColorado on IG for food & life pics from around the state!!!) Cheers.

The two chat it up over growing up and moving to Colorado, his tenure in Boulder as a Buff, and how his world changed after finding the benefits of marijuana.

After getting to know one another, the guys talk about the Clinic's Charity Golf Tournament, August 9th, which benefits the Rocky Mountain MS Society, and the National MS Society.
