The BBQ Central Show

Episode 423

Taking you back to 3/22/2011 - This week we feature Tim Bryan From Greenleaf BBQ. Long time fans of the show might recognize the name…especially “Green Leaf BBQ”. Tim was a longtime “giveaway” sponsor of the show…giving away his “wine soaked wood chunks” back in the day. Within the minutes of this segment you will learn how Tim got into this business, how he originally marketed it and how he was trying to leverage “BBQ bloggers” of the day to promote his product and grow his business.

Outside of the chunks that he was selling…he also owned a BBQ supply shop east of San Frisco…are they still in business…I don’t know?? Jon does not know either…

Have you ever used wine soaked wood chunks?? If you have…what were your results?

Episode 422

Taking you back to 2/19/2019 - This week we feature…my favorite person…ME!! Back, 6 years ago, I was talking about my first experience with seeing/hearing corporal punishment in school…specifically middle school.

For those who don’t know…I originated in upstate New York and moved to Cleveland in the middle of 6th grade. My Dad took a transfer from then…Saratoga Springs, NY…to Bomb City USA.

Within the first few months…I saw a kid I knew (who was in my class) get walked into the boys bathroom by the math teacher…the teacher has a wooden paddle in his hand…and minutes later…SWAT!  And, of course, my man Marcus Esoniza, screeching like a bitch…

It was a scarring moment…one that made me think twice about doing ANYTHING sideways…becuase in Cleveland…they will beat you!!
