Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 176: Joe Pearce; American Royal

<p>Joe Pearce has been one of the world’s top pitmasters for the last decade and 2022 is no exception. Joe’s <span class= "s4swhuz0 rifmn7f6" spellcheck="false">Slap's BBQ</span> ranks No. 2 in the <span class="s4swhuz0 rifmn7f6" spellcheck="false">The Kansas City Barbeque Society</span> Team of the Year standings after a frenetic run of success in July, with three Grand Championships in three weeks of cooking doubles. On Episode 176 of the <span class="s4swhuz0 rifmn7f6" spellcheck="false">Tailgate Guys BBQ</span> Podcast, we ask Joe about staying mentally sharp, what it’s like to cook with TV cameras around and which contest he would rather win if he could only pick one - the American Royal or The Jack? And could another SLAPS restaurant be coming to Kansas City?<br /> <br /> Speaking of the <span class="s4swhuz0 rifmn7f6" spellcheck= "false">American Royal World Series of Barbecue</span>, the world’s largest BBQ competition is just a few weeks away at Kansas Speedway. We find out what teams and spectators can expect from Kayci Vincent, manager of BBQ, and Allyssa King, director of communications for The American Royal organization.
