Imagine cooking a steak that’s worth $10,000. We talk to the man who made that a reality on Episode 180 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast as Brett Davis joins us. Brett, of Springfield, Missouri, won the big prize at the High Steaks Showdown in St. Louis underneath the Gateway Arch after a unique final round as eight finalists grilled ribeyes inside a steel-cage called “Steaktagon.”

We also talk it over with one of the most-consistent cooks on the 2022 KCBS circuit. Jason Halterman from Can Country Outlaw has 14 overall top-10 finishes in 21 events and he does it with a distinctive style of using drum smokers in conjunction with his Outlaw stick burner. Jason tells us how he got into competition cooking and discusses the reason behind his inspirational, motivational stories he posts on Facebook.

Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve also recap their cooking weeks and take a look at Albert Pujols’ continued pursuit of 700 home runs. And what about Patrick Mahomes’ and the Chiefs’ demise after the loss of receiver Tyreek Hill? What a shame.
