one of the all-time greats of competition cooking about his latest business venture. Travis Clark recently opened a new Clark Crew BBQ restaurant in Tulsa to go with his flagship location in Oklahoma City. Travis discusses the myriad of issues that crop up when opening a new venue and how his intense quest for winning in his competition days translate to the restaurant world. Travis also confirms that he is finished with competition BBQ after a successful 11-year run that saw him win 60 KCBS Grand Championships in 258 career events, an astonishing 23-percent winning percentage. Included were wins at the American Royal World Series of BBQ, the Jack Daniels World Invitational and two KCBS Team of the Year titles.

We also check in with Charlie Wallace from The Grill Guys of Missouri with the latest news from the Republic, Mo., BBQ supply store and Brad Colter of Smoke n Magic BBQ with the latest tips and tricks for your backyard BBQ game. It’s also good to have Steve Koehler back in the co-host chair after a recent stint on the injured list.
