KING's Q The Life and Times of a BBQ Snob

Okay here we go with episode 2 of BBQ Pitmasters. I really enjoyed the second episode! It was different than the first which will keep people interested I think. Doing two contests at the same time like that must really be a challenge! I was feeling the stress just watching the show let alone actually being there and doing it.

I have never done a whole hog and my father-in-law made the comment that was one thing I haven’t done yet. He was laughing when he said that but little does he know that come summer time I will be cooking one out in his front yard. If it’s hot enough I may break out the Daisy Dukes.

Damn I’m one hot and sexy guy. At least that is what I tell the mirror and it doesn’t disagree and say anything back.

Okay enough about my hotness and back to the review.

Harry Soo – Slap Yo’ Daddy BBQ

How about a little sugar Harry? That was so sweet!

One thing about being in California, if you are a cook, is realizing how tastes and appetites are different here than the rest of the country. Most people here do not know what real bbq is so their tastes are geared to what they think BBQ is to them. I think they really did a Hail Mary changing up their plan and making it sweeter. They ended up 18th overall and I wonder how they would have finished if they didn’t change their plan?

Johnny Trigg – Smokin Triggers

And in this corner weighing in at a few hundred pounds from the bottom of the barrel Buddy Weiser! In the other corner we have all the way from Texas “Son I’m gonna whip your butt” Trigg!

Okay I’m all for drink once in a while just don’t drink and be an a$$! It doesn’t make for a real awesome experience or so I’ve noticed. I’ve heard from someone that was there that this wasn’t staged at all and the guy almost got a beat down. My favorite part was at the end when he came by to shake Johnny’s hand. He was more blitzed then before!

I think I will toast you drunk buddy with my favorite drink for making an entertaining show!

Lee Ann Whippen – Wood Chicks BBQ

I can’t believe someone who hasn’t cooked a hog before would enter a hog and a KCBS contest at the same time. You have to have some serious cojones or just want to get on TV. Okay I would have done it too! I was stressed just watching her before the dog an pony show. How would I have done it?

“Nice to meet you sir….pull my finger?”

“You ever hear the one about pig, nun and jack hammer?”

Okay maybe whole hog competitions are not my calling!

Myron Mixon – Jack’s Old South

I’ve have been reading numerous comments about Myron from the last episode. I’m not kissing his butt at all but boy a lot of people must be up for sainthood!

“We couldn’t let our kids watch!” Maybe I have a special TV but I thought they were beeping words?

“This is taking competition BBQ the wrong way” What? Maybe making people actually cooking something from scratch instead of going out and buying a dipped in flavor hamburger patty?

“It makes him look like a pompous ass!” Well it’s his ass and he can be pompous all he wants because he can back it up.

He didn’t do as well on the KCBS portion as I would have thought. 10th place overall and was bettered by Lee Ann who came in 5th overall. There priorities were a little different. Myron focusing on the whole hog and Lee Ann on the KCBS and their scores reflect that.

Jamie Geer – Jambo Pits

What you did to that hog was amazing! The bark, the sauce glistening, those specs of secret spices…..Oh sorry wrong dream he wasn’t on the show this week again!

I am working on getting a couple recipes out this coming week and will continue my review of this show next week.

Until then I leave you with a couple of clips from the show:
