In this episode I chat with Tedd Romero of Sticky Business Barbecue in Napa California. I first met Tedd and his wife Alesha at the LA Food Bowl earlier this year and recently ran into them at the Texas Monthly BBQ Festival. Tedd is a trained Executive Chef turned Pitmaster and Alesha is an Accountant. They've been popping up in Napa, Oakland and San Francisco for the past 3 years and they're excited to bring Craft Barbecue to their Local Community. They have their first Pop Up Dinner with very limited seating coming up this weekend in San Francisco. Check out their Social Media for ticket information.

In this Episode I interview the very talented Photographer and Entrepreneur, Ben Sassani. This Family Man who got into photography to take clear pictures for his family Albums, has converted this passion into a successful career. He photographs beautiful ethnic weddings and also has a project entitled Shoot My Chef which was an Idea from a late friend of his. We chat about his photography business, his side projects and dive deep into his latest creation, BBQ Confessional which has taken the BBQ Community by storm. BBQ Confessional is a series of personal stories that are usually reserved for close friends and family but Ben manages to get the stories out. You can find the narratives featured on Instagram with a beautiful Black and White portrait of the Author. We'll get the inside scoop on some of these stories and learn how the process works. You'll definitely want to follow Ben and look at his business websites to get a glimpse of his talent.

For the past 8 weeks I've interviewed some of the best Tex-Mex Barbecue joint's for our #TexMexBBQSeries. This week's episode will conclude our Series and we are definitely ending with a Bang!! In our Final episode of the series I chat with the OG of Tex-Mex BBQ, Miguel Vidal of Valentina's Tex-Mex Barbecue. This is easily one of my favorite interviews since I started the podcast. I'd never heard of a Tex-Mex Barbecue joint until I ran across Valentina's a few years back. The Smell of Mesquite, the fluffy tortillas, the Beans, the fresh Salsa, the smashed avocado with salt, the beautiful brisket, heck everything Valentina's offers reminds me of my upbringing in West Texas. Miguel grew up in San Antonio Texas and worked in the restaurant industry from an early age. He was a talented Soccer Player that aspired to be a professional but a knee injury caused him to trade the Pitch for a Lot filled with Barbecue Pits and Picnic Tables. This is an inspiring rags to riches story that only keeps getting better. I hope you enjoy this episode!

For our 7th installment of our #Texmexbbqseries , I chat with Esaul Ramos of 2M Barbecue and Catering in San Antonio Texas. From the first time I met Esaul, we hit it off and became good friends. We often text each other on weekends when there is a good UFC fight Card and any time I'm in or around San Antonio you can always find me there. 2M's story is one filled with Grit, Determination and overflowing with passion, walking into the building you can see the results of their blood sweat and tears. They literally put this restaurant together with their own hands, it's not fancy and they don't have a large state of the art pit room with several rigs. They have one Pit an incredible team and some badass food. This formula has landed them on the Texas Monthly Top 50 List, Food and Wine's Best Foods in America and many other publications. We chat about their incredible journey and some really cool upcoming events! We even talk a little UFC and Cars! I hope you enjoy the show!!

For our 6th installment of our #Texmexbbqseries , I chat with Tony Salazar of The Taste of Texas Tex Mex BBQ in Beaumont TX. Tony Tone AKA Pork Skin has been cooking since he was 16 years old and in 2016 he flipped a switch and started an underground BBQ Business. This Welder by Trade is born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas and grew up with Cajun and Mexican cultures. Eating Gumbo with Tortillas was a way of life for him and his family and now he's bringing those influences to his dishes. Through a chance encounter he met Michael Fulmer of Houston Barbecue and when it was time to research potential candidates for the Inaugural Tex-Mex Block Party, Fulmer reached out to Tony. Not only did Tony prove that he could run with the big boys of Tex-Mex Barbecue, he was one of the standouts at the event. I have a feeling we will be hearing a lot more from Tony in the near future. I hope you enjoy the show!

For our 5th installment of our #Texmexbbqseries , I chat with Brandon Hurtado of Hurtado Barbecue in Arlington Texas. Brandon is a successful Business Professional that owns a Marketing Agency in Arlington. He's born and raised in the DFW metroplex and his love for food and cooking dates back to his Grandmother and mothers cooking and his dad smoking Briskets as far back as he can remember. Although Barbecue was never in his plan he quickly got sucked in by the bug that catches many folks in the Barbecue world. He never thought it would lead to a business and why would he, he was already living out his marketing dream and getting a good night sleep every night, but the newly discovered passion was pulling him in. His Creative dishes along with a solid lineup of great central Texas Barbecue has really drawn quite a bit of attention to him. With a little help from Local and social media the business has grown enough that he's now a couple of months away from opening a brick and mortar location. This is an inspiring story filled with passion, hard work and dedication. I hope you enjoy it!
