About this episode
(September 17, 2019 - Hour Two) In the 2nd hour, I will be joined by the brand new KING of the American Royal Open BBQ Contest, Fred Robles of Rio Valley Meats. If you didn't know, The American Royal BBQ contest (almost 500 teams in the open this year) took place this past weekend and Fred took down the crown. He will now rule the BBQ landscape for the next 12 months where he will look to repeat. I will talk to Fred about the weekend, how the cook went on both days and what it was like to hear his name called as champion. We will also talk about some general BBQ stuff that is hot in the industry right now. Be sure to tune in for this! BBQ Central Show Sponsors! The BBQ Guru Big Poppa Smokers Smithfield Butchers BBQ
