Balancing Presence and Trusting Staff

This week on the HowToBBQRight Podcast, we're fired up to welcome back our good buddy Dave Williamson — AKA Meat Dave — for another mouthwatering episode (00:14)! He's got big news: Dave just opened a BRAND NEW restaurant (01:10)! Now that he's running the show, we had to ask — is Dave still out front slinging BBQ like the good ol' days (11:43)? And what's it really like selling BBQ in a bar setting — is it harder or easier (15:35)? Dave also drops his famous Mac n' Cheese recipe, and it was passed down by a good friend of ours (22:15)! When it comes to seasonings, Dave knows his stuff (27:26). We talk about why the Primo Ceramic Grill might just become your new favorite backyard cooker (33:40), and how Malcom and Dave's lunch at Bain's BBQ was straight-up deliciousda (34:23). Dave also traveled down to Key West to defend his BBQ festival title (40:01), and yeah… Peanut Butter Jelly RIBS are officially a thing (45:06)! He's cooked on all kinds of smokers, but RecTeq is still Dave's go-to (49:13). We also dive into the current state of the California BBQ scene (52:58), and we wrap things up with a look at how Dave is balancing comedy with the restaurant biz (57:17).
