No matter how divided we may become as a country, there is one thing we can all agree on - BBQ is amazing. Of course after we agree on that, we often get into arguments about which style of BBQ is the best… But since our guest today is Daniel Vaughn, the BBQ Editor of Texas Monthly, we think there’s a pretty good chance we know where he stands. And yes, TM has a BBQ Editor, and yes, it’s probably the best job in existence.

Join Eva and Julia for a smokin’ hot episode full of juicy tidbits and the best (tri)tips on where to travel - and more importantly - where to eat if you want to go whole hog on this uniquely American culinary tradition. Also, BBQ puns. Lots of BBQ puns. Julia, Eva, and Daniel talk the difference in styles, BBQ Line etiquette, and the emergence of Texas BBQ Fusion.

Plus the answer to a question we have all wondered about - what kind of chicken does Beyoncé contractually require to be in her dressing room at each gig?
