ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Sam Jones joins Nick Pencis of Stanley’s Famous Pit Bar-B-Q, Wayne Mueller of Louie Mueller Barbecue and Justin Fourton of Pecan Lodge for a conversation about life, barbecue, friendship and the real cost of success.
In Part One, Sam opens up about the serious health scare that nearly took his life, the lasting impact it has had on him and why it forced him to look differently at his work, his family and the years he spent constantly travelling.
He reflects on the rise of Skylight Inn, watching his daughter grow up while he was on the road, the friendships forged through barbecue and why every opportunity now needs to offer either an emotional return or a financial one.
And because this is still Sam Jones, there are plenty of unbelievable stories along the way, including the time someone managed to set an entire barbecue trailer on fire with four bags of charcoal.
This is Part One of a deeply personal, funny and honest conversation with one of barbecue’s greatest pitmasters and storytellers.
