What does it take to transform from a joiner to a culinary entrepreneur in just three years? Join us as Steve from Charred Food Company shares his inspiring journey, ignited by casual pre-lockdown cookouts and fueled by a deep passion during lockdown. Steve recounts his evolution from a barbecue novice to running a professional barbecue kitchen, highlighting the importance of community feedback and the trials and triumphs along the way. His story is a testament to following one's passion and turning it into a successful venture.
Ever battled imposter syndrome while chasing your dreams? Steve's transition from a building site to a professional kitchen provides valuable insights into overcoming self-doubt. Balancing his existing contracts, he gained experience in local food businesses before seizing an opportunity in a fine dining restaurant. Through hard work and dedication, Steve now runs a barbecue restaurant kitchen, demonstrating the importance of trusting one's instincts and understanding the quirks of barbecue equipment.

With Owen away on holiday, Dan takes his time to find more out about T from Cookin With The Duke. A huge personality on instagram and YouTube, T does the majority of his cooking on a Weber kettle as well as on his brick bbq he has built in his new Shack.

If there is one message that T has, it's to not take yourself too seriously. BBQ is about having fun and he more than practises what he preaches!

Listen to what he gets for BBQ Bingo this week.
