Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 375: 'Under the Radar' with Sasquatch Smoke N Que

Episode 375 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast is focused of the 46th annual American Royal World Series of BBQ, where we're headed later this week to judge after five years of on the competition side. We visit with not only a first-time American Royal team, but a foursome that has barely cooked competition at all. That's Sasquatch Smoke N Que out of Kansas City, a group of military veterans who met while playing hockey for disabled vets and have taken that friendship to BBQ. Johnny Neal and Jeff Schmidt of Sasquatch Smoke N Que discuss how the camaraderie and friendships are a bigger piece of the puzzle than the scoresheets at this point and what cooking at The Royal means to them.

We also have an encore segment with Kayci Vincent, manager of the American Royal BBQ about the move to a new venue on the American Royal Association campus and what teams and a limited (for this year) spectator base can expect.

Co-hosts Lyndal and Steve talk about their cooking adventures to open the show - including Steve's seafood selections - and wrap things up with a quick tour of the sports world, focusing on the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Chiefs.
