Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 237: KCBS Chicken champ Norris "Syd" Sydnor

When he first tested the competition BBQ waters in 2018, Norris “Syd” Sydnor of Good Googly Good never envisioned being a points chaser or contending for any Team of the Year honors. But when he began having big-time success in chicken a couple of years ago and got off to a great start in the bird category in 2023, Syd and wife Li took an early lead that he never relinquished. On Episode 237 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with Syd about Good Googly Goo’s KCBS Chicken Team of the Year honors and what went into becoming prolific in the category. We also recap a busy year that saw Good Googly Goo cook in 15 states and Canada and what’s ahead for the Maryland-based team in 2024. Meanwhile, it’s a one-guest show this week as we were unable to make connections with Robby Royal of Rescue Smokers after his Grand Championship at the Big Pig Jig. Robby’s out in the deer woods, where phone service is scare, so we’ll plan on having him on the show next week. Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve talk about their cooking weeks and how to start planning preparing for that Thanksgiving meal, plus other tidbits of food and sports.  Thanks to all our sponsors and marketing partners for making the show possible:  Blues Hog #blueshognation Royal Oak Charcoal #teamroyaloak2023 The Butcher Shoppe #alwayshandpicked  Clark Crew BBQ #clarkcrewbbq  Proud Souls BBQ Kansas City #proudsoulsbbqkc #kingdomofq  The Grill Guys of Missouri Allquedup #arkassippicombo Vietti Marketing Group #marketing  Marty "Real Sign Man" Prather #pizza Have a great BBQ week and thanks for listening! #SmokeEmIfYouGotEm
