Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, Episode 267: Darren Warth, Norris Sydnor
Description
Happy 4th of July to all! To celebrate, Episode 267 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast features two great guests. Leading off is one of the best to ever light a pit, BBQ Hall of Famer Darren Warth from Iowa Smokey D’s. While he’s won more than 100 grand championships during his career, including multiple majors, Darren accomplished a first last weekend in Idaho as he won a KCBS competition by cooking all four meats on one Gateway Drum Smoker. We visit with “The GOAT” about how he did it, what still drives him to compete and about his latest BBQ adventure in his hometown of Des Moines, Iowa.
It’s then time to catch up with Norris “Syd” Sydnor from Good Googly Goo BBQ out of Baltimore. Syd captured the recent Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle on historic Pennsylvania Ave., in Washington, D.C. He breaks down how he overcame some obstacles to pull off career GC No. 5 and previews the rest of his season, which will include a trip back to the Jack Daniels World BBQ Invitational this fall where he was Reserve Grand Champion in 2022.
Meanwhile, we take our weekly trip to The Grill Guys of Missouri and co-hosts Lyndal and Steve review their latest cooking adventures.
