              ItsAllGoneToTheDogs I just don't associate him with BBQ. My impression is of a general cook/chef not a dedicated Pitt Master.

              Old Glory I completely understand, you hear his name an BBQ isn't the first thing that comes to mind for almost anyone. But he is part of a BBQ competition team... with a pretty catchy name I might add How often he participates vs if he's just a marketing face to fund the team is a question I don't have an answer to though
