Episode 450Taking you back to 9/5/2017 - This week, I’m featuring a person who many feel is the GOAT of competition BBQ...and NO...it's NOT Darren Warth. Travis Clark of Clark Crew BBQ joined me back in September of 2017 and we talked about that year's American Royal BBQ contest. He was top 40 on the Open side but, the day before, he won the Invitational side. At that point in time, it was Travis's biggest and most important win to date (according to him).If you aren't familiar with Travis, this is a great introduction to one of the best who has even done it.**Don’t forget to rate and review the show on your podcast app.**Want to hear more from this episode?
