Description

In today’s episode, Rasheed and Bryan sit down with the newest member of the misfitsss barbecue crew Tyler, a professionally trained chef from Canada who’s making the leap into the world of live-fire cooking.

Fresh off our first big pop-up residency at RoundTrip Brewery, we break down:

• What it’s really like transitioning from chef life to pitmaster life
• The surprising similarities (and real differences) between the two crafts
• The wins & mistakes from our first official misfitsss BBQ pop-up
• How passion, pressure, and community shape the way we cook
• Why “tenderism” has Rasheed fired up again
• Behind-the-scenes moments from the RoundTrip event
• What we’re improving next time and what worked better than we expected

Whether you’re a chef, pitmaster, backyard griller, or someone who just loves the culture of barbecue, this episode has something for you. It’s honest, funny, and packed with the kind of real-life lessons you only learn standing next to a live fire.
