Welcome to Episode 253 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, where we're joined by the founders of America's foremost weekly digital news authority on live-fire cooking. It's been a while since we visited with Ryan Cooper and Sean Ludwig from The Smoke Sheet. Their weekly newsletter that arrives in subscribers' in-boxes each Wednesday and Friday with a variety of content including BBQ trends, restaurant features, product news and recipes. On our extended conversation, Ryan and Sean tell us about a recent excursion to the Carolinas where they experienced old-school and new-school BBQ restaurants. Later, they tell us storylines in the BBQ world they're watching in 2024.
