The Wise Guys are back from Fort Worth, Texas, and this week’s podcast is all about the start of our Texas BBQ Safari. Vin, Chip, and Tommy the Butcher sit down to recap the trip, the travel chaos, and the Texas barbecue spots that lived up to the hype.

Inside Da BBQ Ninja’s Flavor Game | Competition BBQ Taste Test
This week on the Wise Guys BBQ Podcast, Rich Yang — better known as Da BBQ Ninja — doesn’t just talk BBQ… he brings it to the table.

Between bites, Rich breaks down how The BBQ Ninja brand came to life, how he builds his flavor layers—from a touch of sweetness up front to savory depth and a little heat on the finish—and what separates competition BBQ from cooking for a crowd.
