BBQ Pitmasters Show

[chisoxjim]

probably the last episode I will watch. Turned it off after 30 minutes.

Bickering, near fisticuffs, and chest thumping are not what bbq is all about to me.

Myron can play the competition game, he does what the judges wan't. Complete butt, I guess some a that is fer tv, but ya wonder.

Now when it came time ta feed the general public good Q, he failed, I heard his resteraunt is closed. Can't imagine why with that sparklin personality!

The show's got one more chance with me, then caputt. I sorta watched it last night, didn't give it all my attention. Better pick up the pace perty quick.

Idiot comes to mind...

The wife and I have been watching and so far I kind of like it. Not really learning much though ( I was hoping to learn something about smokin')

I loved the comment about kicking Myron in the balls made earlier. Made me laugh out loud.

I figure the kid might not have made this event. I never did see him. It seems his budget is a little tighter than some.
I can't believe how much money some of these people have wrapped up in this stuff. I am just blown away by that each week.

Question from a newbie.

Are these guys on the 'circuit' sponsored / have endorsement deals, or do they have to cash a check for gas and meat money? (Not just the few spot lighted on this show, but other teams also on the circuit.)

Are whole hog competitions rare? That was awesome!

BBQ competitions certainly give away big trophies.

I caught it last night, can't say I was all that impressed. One thing that caught my ear was; when the fellow from Slap yo Daddy BBQ said he was using sugars on his brisket.

It might be me but sugar on beef.........yuck!!!!!!!! The only meat I use sugar in the rub is pork, that's it.

Paul was there, just did not talk on the camera, you can see him at the cooks meeting when they are talking about brisket turn in time, and he is listed as 42nd overall, 40th in chicken, 38th in ribs, 40th in pork and 43rd in brisket

Tuffy with Cool Smoke was 7th overall but I don't remember seeing him, I'll have to watch it again.

 

[kurtsara]

Some are, some are not.

One question I have about last night. I always assume that people with big rigs like Myrons did not have a water heating system (like the ECBs have). But Myron clearly has it on at least one of his "grills" because he talked about it to the judge last night.

So, is his a bit unique or is my original assumption wrong?

 

[oneshot]

Notice how Myron only talks "BS" to the cameras but is nice when he confronts the others face to face.....It's either the directors having him do this for some tv drama or he is a complete backstabbing hypocrit and a coward. There are a lot of people out there exactly like that. But I think most of his comments come from the directors. I will continue watching to see if I can pick up anything.....

 

[nwdave]

Ok, now you guy's have gone and done it

. Just when I was getting over Hell's Kitchen ( now there's a guy with anger issues), you go and point me towards another cooking drama show. I take it you gotta watch this show with a grain of salt. Sunday for rerun?....Hope it doesn't interfere with the football games. Gotta prioritize, you know.

 

[docjangles]

I learned that I need to swear alot more while doing BBQ

 

[TulsaJeff]

It seemed to me that last night was all about Myron vs. Lee Ann with a little Johnnie Trigger thrown in.

I think it is designed to show lots of drama.. that's why some folks watch TV hence all of the reality shows these days

 

[old poi dog]

Stayed up last night to watch the show. I enjoyed the drama. I'm pulling for the Smoke Yo Daddy guys to do well in every episode. I was wondering if their change up on his rub had a positive effect that resulted in position that they placed. I gotta admire them using those Webers. .......maybe next time the producers will find a team using UDS.

 

[polishmeat]

Jeff - I couldn't have said it better myself. My wife is crazy about these reality shows, but the one and only I watch is COPS - lol.

 

[oneshot]

Marty, I'll bet you got a lot in common with "COPS" !!!!!! ROTFLMAO

 

[got14u]

Last night was not very good of a show...I expect the "kid" didn't do anything special so didn't really make the editing. As for myron WHAT A ASS !! I wouldn't give 2 $hitz for his bbq....One thing I did notice and correct me if I am wrong but all the brisket pics in their smokers looked like they had the fat side down...correct me if i am wrong but I even rewinded it to see. and it sure looks like they are on both myrons and the lady's...I will still watch the show because I like bbq but If this is anything like what you can expect from comps I will not be going any time soon. Just not my type of people.

 

[richoso1]

My words to the producer are. "Save the drama for your momma".

 

[TulsaJeff]

I have never become involved with competing in a circuit.. I am not saying I never will but the bug has not bitten me.

I HAVE been to a lot of competitions as a bystander and I have to say that the food has NEVER impressed me.

I have left several competitions so disgusted with the mediocre food that I just wanted to go home and cook something just to remind myself that smoked meat is one of the food groups that I actually LIKE.

I have heard it said before and I think it bears repeating.. cooking for judges is in a whole different category than cooking for the general public.

 

[rhankinsjr]

They do focus a lot on the drama because that's what sells shows. John&Kate was a hit, but it blew up once all the drama started. That's what sells, violence on the news and everything is a soap opera now.

I will say that if Myron was as big of a d-bag as they make him out to be everyone wouldn't have been willing to sit and b.s. with him and stuff the night before. He's a wise ass joke cracker from everything I have ever seen him on. Doesn't make him a bad guy.

Interesting that he said he used dehydrated(? iirc ) honey in his rub though.
