In this episode, I talk with Duce Raymond of Sweet Baby Ray’s about the origins of the world’s most popular barbecue sauce. But we go way deeper than that. Duce shares the origins of the iconic Sweet Baby Ray’s sauce, but he also details how one very important lesson from his uncle, Dave Raymond, continues to drive the family’s successful restaurants and catering business forward.

Winner of the 2022 James Beard Award for Research!!! Wow... It was my great pleasure to sit down for a chat with James Beard Book Award Author Adrian Miller to discuss his latest book, Black Smoke: African Americans and the United States of Barbecue. A true scholar, historian, and lover of smoked meats, Adrian and I talk about the contents of this text, along with the reasons he felt it needed to be written. It is my opinion that this is one of the most well-researched books on BBQ in the United States to date.

When it comes to BBQ pellets, you can't do any better than CookinPellets.com. Their Perfect Mix and 100 Percent Hickory pellets are my go-to pellets and have been since before the company signed on as a sponsor of the show years ago.  In this episode, I sit down with CookinPellets founder and head honcho Chris Becker, who started the company back in 2006 after finding the quality of pellets available on the market at that point lacking.  Give this episode a listen. Whether you're on the road, at work, or spending time at the smoker or the grill. I promise you'll be glad you did.
