Jordan Kirkpatrick and Janky Leg BBQ recently passed the seven-year anniversary of their first KCBS competition, a 27th-place out of 30 teams in Effingham, Illinois. Jordan recalled being "lost, confused and disappointed" with the results. On Episode 318 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Jordan reflected on the humbling start and the road to becoming a world champion a years later. Janky Leg is still going strong and nearing the fall, when the team is always at its best. He also hits upon some interesting theories, including that you're not cooking against the other competitors, but instead against yourself.
We also take a trip to the Grill Guys of Missouri for a visit with Skyler Spartan. And co-hosts Lyndal and Steve also review their cooking weeks, preview what's ahead - including a trip to Excelsior Springs, Missouri this weekend for the competition side of the team.
