Ep. 30 - The Queen Returns & Brisket Finger
Ready Set BBQ Podcast
09/08/21 • 50 min
In this episode I am joined by Hector, Jaime and Hiram from Los Angeles. We also welcome back the Queen of BBQ, Alma Vera. We start with out Joe review of the Jake Paul and whether we thought the fix was in. Things go off the rails when the gang predicts he will fight a donkey in his next fight. We talk about the next upcoming barbecues in the following months and which we predict we will compete in.
There is still time to enter into the context with Elda's Kitchen. We are announcing 3 winners who will each win a 3 pack of Elda's Kitchen's top selling sauces. Just tag 3 people on our post.
Jaime gives a barbecue review on a local bbq restaurant called Ace's BBQ. He orders a barbecue botana for 4 people. The botana was a pizza box filled with chips and nacho cheese topped with 3 smoked meats. He also provides a review on another local restaurant where he went to have a chicken fried steak.
I give Yuengling beer another try with their light beer offering since most of the team prefers the light stuff these days. We are still not blown away with our reviews. Hiram wants to know the best way to present brisket to someone who has not tried your brisket before. Hector's answer might surprise you. We also give a review of what we think of the snake method of lining up your charcoal in a barbecue pit. We play a game called was it a cookoff or tailgate as I present scenarios of stories and the team guesses if it was a cookoff or a tailgate.
In honor of Hector's birthday we talk about what we remember from our 21st birthdays and reminisce about the first time we drank or got drunk. Hector takes over the red carpet as he tries to play matchmaker for Hiram and Kaley Cuoco.

Ep. 36 - Smoke Crafters & Sausage Making
Ready Set BBQ Podcast
10/20/21 • 46 min
In this episode we are on location as we do a remote podcast from Smoke Crafters Barbecue (Awesome location). I am joined by Jaime, Hector and Johnny as we sit down with our friend Jaime (Co-owner of Smoke Crafters. We start by talking a little football as we ask Jaime about his fandom between the Cowboys or Texas. Jaime argues that the Cowboys have the best offense in the NFL. Hector may beg to differ.
We then discuss the feast we just finished before recording. We had a spread of Brisket Waffle fries, brisket mac & cheese, brisket sandwiches, carnitas sandwich, brisket street elote, two kinds of sausage, bread pudding, brisket burnt ends, and an oatmeal cream pie. Food was all great. Jaime gives us a little bit of history behind Smoke Crafters. From starting as a catering business, to a food truck to a full blown permanent location. He gives our fans some tips on cooking barbecue.
We talk about making sausage. We tried the Jalapeno Cheddar sausage and an Italian sausage with marinara sauce. We ask for some advice on how we can make our own sausage and some dos and don'ts. He gives us some examples of some exotic recipes that he's played around with. We are a little surprised about how much work goes into making your own sausage.
We finish off by talking a little movie night as Smoke Crafters will on occasion host their own movie nights. He tells us about some up coming movies they plan to show during Halloween and some plans for expanding the location.
