You might say it’s duos week on Episode 169 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Show Podcast. Up first are Jason Zwiegel and Nick Galligan from newly minted KCBS Grand Champion “Dr. Squealgood BBQ” from the Kansas City area. Jason and Nick tell us how they started cooking together and recapped the relatively quick journey to their first GC, last weekend in Topeka, Kansas.

We also check in with the co-leaders of “Team Arkassippi,” John Lindsey and Ronald Burns. While they have made a name for themselves among the world’s top competition steak cooks, John and Ronald were outstanding BBQ competitors back in the day and now are venturing more and more into

the KCBS cooking world again while spreading their #ArkassippiCombo brand of rubs and sauces. The pair recap a tremendous weekend at the recent National BBQ Battle in Washington, D.C. and preview what’s ahead, both on the cooking trail and for the SCA Ribeye Roundup and Arkassippi Smoke Live programs John and Ronald co-host.

Lyndal and Steve also recap their 4th of July weekend cooking adventures, including the Tailgate Guys’ solid performance at the KCBS Low & Slow Cookoff in Lowell, Arkansas. Yes, we got a brisket call!
