It was a pleasure hangin' with two BBQ legends at the Memphis in May World Championships.
From left to right:
Johnny Trigg: Pitmaster of Smokin Triggers – aka "the Godfather of BBQ" - featured on TLC's BBQ Pitmasters (Season 1 & 2) and 2012 inductee in the National Barbecue Hall of Fame
Mitch Benjamin of Meat Mitch
Tuffy Stone: Pitmaster of Cool Smoke – featured on BBQ Pitmasters (season 1 & 2 on TLC, season 3 on Destination America) and owner of "Q Barbecue" in Richmond, VA
Mitch Benjamin didn't set out to build a barbecue empire, he just wanted to hang out with friends, crack some cold beers, and figure out how to beat 400 other teams at his first-ever cookoff. Somehow, it worked.
