We do know that the glitterati have a tendency to make it. So using sound judgement as to who will be inducted is snow flakes in the air. Meathead should have been in a few years ago. Based on what a few of you have said Traeger sounds like a shoo in. No disrespect to what he has done, but awards is awards. The largest BBQ organization in the world, the go to place to find everything & everybody is right here at Amazing Wibs (I couldn’t help myself), yes AR!Comment

Congrats, this is the year!Comment

Anyone who wants to go through the nomination process, please do! He deserves it for sure. I don't know of anyone else who has devoted such a chunk of their life to teaching others good cooking and BBQ and food safety, and has done so without rich celebrity status, or supporting their TV show or restaurant.Comment

Here is the list of 9 nominees. Three will be chosen. This is the third year I have been nominated making me the Susan Lucci of BBQ.- Rodney Scott – Rodney Scott is a whole hog legend in South Carolina. He worked at his family BBQ stop in Hemingway, SC until 2017 and then opened Rodney Scott’s BBQ in Charleston, SC. In 2018 he won the James Beard Award for Best Chef, Southeast.
- John Markus – Through his BBQ Pitmasters show John Markus has brought the world of competition barbecue to the masses. John has learned barbecue from some of the best in the business and regularly competes with his team Central Pork West.
- Joe Traeger – Created the pioneering Traeger pellet smoker. Sold the company and partnered with a competitor, Pit Boss.
- Ollie Gates – Runs Gates Bar-B-Q restaurants in KC (6 locations?) as well as its sauces, mail order, etc. His father, George Walter Gates, took over Ol' Kentuck (Bar-B-Q) at 19th and Vine Streets in 1946. Ollie opened the first Gates & Sons restaurant at 12th & Brooklyn in 1958. He later served as chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners and as a Missouri highway commissioner.
