Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 369: Tina Cannon; Jordan Kirkpatrick

Tina Cannon is one of the most-respected names in open-fire cooking, with numerous competition awards to her credit along with an array of television shows on various outlets. The classically trained chef joins us on Episode 369 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast to discuss her career, a website TinaCannonCooks.com full of helpful cooking info and a preview of her appearance at The Grill Guys of Missouri on Aug. 29. Tina's first appearance on how our show is a fun conversation that we hope you enjoy.

Our second guest this week has been on the show multiple times and always brings the heat - just as his Janky Leg BBQ team cranks it up when the summer temps rise. Jordan Kirkpatrick takes us inside the 2026 season, which finds Janky Leg back atop the KCBS Team of the Year standings after two Grand Championships in two weeks. Ever wonder about the mental part of competition BBQ? It's real and Jordan breaks it down.

Meanwhile, co-hosts Lyndal and Steve talk about their cooking weeks and what's next on the smoker while also touching on the latest from the sports world. A big thanks to our show sponsors and marketing partners. Please support them:
