Welcome to August and welcome to Episode 29 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Show. Summer might be starting to wind down, but we always keep the fire hot and the tailgate down for some great BBQ talk!

This week, we’re joined by Kansas City's Megan Day of Burnt Finger BBQ. Not only does Megan and husband Jason form a championship KCBS team, she’s a Food Network’s “Chopped Grillmasters” champion, among a growing list of TV appearances that makes Megan one of BBQ’s best ambassadors. Find out the latest about Burnt Finger BBQ in a fun conversation with Megan.

Want to cook a great steak? John Lindsey of All Qued Up from Jonesboro, Arkansas, offers up advice whether you’re cooking on a gas grill in the backyard or on an elaborate professional charcoal grill in competition. John is one of the nation’s best on the Steak Cookoff Association circuit and he tells us about his season and the appeal of steak competition cooking.

The guys also preview this weekend’s Route 66 BBQ Festival, where the Tailgate Guys will be firing it up Saturday in the KCBS portion of the competition.
