Jess Pryles is one of the world’s foremost authorities on cooking meat. An Australian native who now calls Austin, Texas, home, we’re pleased to welcome the “Hardcore Carnivore” back to the Tailgate Guys BBQ Show for the usual, terrific conversation. Jess tells us about being accepted into the Meat Science Graduate Certificate program at Iowa State University and what that involves, plus how she’s staying connected to her many fans during the pandemic.

Episode 78 of the show also brings Justin McCabe of Boom Chicka Cow Cow to the show. Justin discusses his team’s first KCBS Grand Championship, last weekend in a star-studded field of teams in Enid, Oklahoma and the history behind his team’s rapid rise to prominence in competition cooking.

Meanwhile, Lyndal and Steve chat about their own backyard cooking adventures and what’s happening - or not happening - in the sports world.

Thanks to our sponsors/marketing partners who make the fun possible: Blues Hog, The Butcher Shoppe, The BBQ Central Show, Royal Oak Charcoal, Code 3 Spices - www.code3spices.com, Affordable Income Tax & Payroll, DDR Fabrication DDRFab.com, Colaw RV and The BBQ League. Special thanks to Vietti Marketing Group and In the Garden of Eden for supporting our competition efforts.
