Ep73 - Veronica Meewes

Episode 73

Wednesday, January 21, 2026 • Duration 57:31

In this episode, I chat with Veronica Meewes, the gal behind the book entitled Texas BBQ, the Art of Low and Slow. Veronica spent three years traveling around Texas, gaining a thorough knowledge of barbecue, eating some of the most delicious food, and listening to some amazing stories. Along with these stories, this beautiful denim-covered book displays some stunning illustrations from several familiar photographers. I personally used it as a kind of yearbook while I was at the Texas Monthly BBQ Festival, getting folks to sign it for me, and I plan to carry it with me when I make my barbecue runs so I can fill it up! This is the story of her journey. I hope you enjoy the show.

Ep63 - Smoke-A-Holics BBQ

Episode 64

Saturday, June 11, 2022 • Duration 44:43

In this Episode, I chat with my buddy Derrick Walker from Smoke-A-Holics Barbecue in Fort Worth Texas. Derrick has been slanging BBQ for many years, he was doing popups before popups were cool! I dropped by during a BBQ Run I did with my dad where we hit 26 spots in about a week back in December of last year. Smoke-A-Holics was definitely one of the highlights of that trip and I was able to chat with Derrick earlier this year. With his Culinary background and homestyle cooking they coined the phrase TexSoul which is Texas Barbecue with a Soul Food twist. If you haven't been, you have to stop by this Texas Monthly Top 50 BBQ Joint! BTW, Smoke-A-Holics has already confirmed that they will be at The Heritage Barbecue Invitational, which is an event that will be held in San Juan Capistrano California to celebrate Heritage Barbecue's 2nd Anniversary on August 13th. Get your tickets to that if you haven't yet! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the show, this is Derrick Walker with Smoke-A-Holics!

Ep60 - Dayne’s Craft Barbecue

Episode 61

Wednesday, February 23, 2022 • Duration 01:04:17

We Kick-Off Season 4 with my conversation with Dayne and Ashley Weaver of Dayne's Craft Barbecue. Stories like theirs is why I have a podcast in the first place. Although you might think of struggle and sacrifice when you hear them share their experiences, but that's not really how they felt. Their Strong belief in each other and the hard work and determination that's instilled in them made it feel like oh well it's just another day, we can work extra hours and just get through it. They were made for each other and they were made to cook great Barbecue, believe me, I know! I recorded this show back in December of 2021 and I was able to make it out there with my dad later in the month and my goodness, we were blown away. That Brisket, that sausage and those dang Burgers are to die for. If you're not a fan of Dayne's after listening to this show, you're probably a robot. I hope you enjoy the show!

In this episode I chat with the BBQ Snob himself, Mr. Daniel Vaughn. He's the BBQ Editor at Texas Monthly and Author of The Prophets of Smoked Meat: A Journey through Texas Barbecue and Coauthor of Whole Hog BBQ: The Gospel of Carolina Barbecue.
