It’s American Royal World Series of BBQ week and the Tailgate Guys BBQ competition team is headed to Kansas City for a great weekend! The help preview the weekend, we talk it over with one of BBQ’s great pitmasters and ambassadors, Harry Soo, who will be at Kansas Speedway helping some friends and kicking off a two-week, multi-state BBQ adventure. Harry also has launched a new line of 10 Slap Yo’ Daddy rubs and he tells us about that, plus his thoughts on cooking with beef tallow. Does it make a difference?

We also bring back the roundtable discussion for first-time American Royal participants. Pitmasters from Machette Boys, American Heroes BBQ, 16 Mesh BBQ and Ash Kickin’ BBQ gathered to talk about their goals and expectations in their first trip to the world’s largest competition.
