In this Episode 5, I interview Connie Stegall @the.mother.heifer.  This interview is different in that we are not talking Instagram but we're digging deep into the competition world of SCA (Steak Cookoff Association) and what that means, what it takes to enter, and most importantly win.

You will hear all about Connie's journey from start to current where she just won TWO first place awards at two different competitions and all that goes into getting ready, competing and winning that Golden Ticket.   Watch, listen and learn as we discuss all this and barbeque on this episode of Strum Pluckin' Good LIVE.

Today we are interviewing Laura Parsons @dangerously_delicious_bbq.  We covered a lot of topics including Laura's background in the U.S. Airforce (thank you for your service!), her ongoing love for reqteq which showed when she gave us a tour around her house showing all 5 recteq's!  If there was anyone living the recteq lifestyle it's Laura Parsons!

We also learned Laura is now one of the newest sales and marketing staff for The Best Damn BBQ Sauce to help them grow their line of sauces now on the market. I did receive a sample last year to try and my favorite was the NW Gold Rush which is a Carolina style mustard type sauce without a strong mustard flavor but delicious for sure.

We talked about so much, ya'll have to see the show to get all the great information including my challenge to her to go ride on Jennifer Plemmons @thegirlthatgrills tractor while drinking pickle juice.  If that means nothing to you then you have to watch my interview with Jennifer Plemmons and you will then understand this challenge 100%

Today was our largest watched show ever with nearly 50 folks watching us live on YouTube with over 150 followers live on IG Live. Thanks Laura and as always I greatly appreciate you and everyone on the show.  See you in Georgia on our tour.  SMOKE ON!

We interviewed Dr. William Accousti @drbillssyrup who is the inventor of Dr. Bill's Cane & Maple Syrup.  Dr. Bill is a board certified pediatric orthopedic surgeon in New Orleans. He is a surgeon by day and Cane & Maple man by night and any other time he is not working on medical issues for his patients. 

Dr. Bill talked about his background, Vitamin D and why it is in his syrup, distribution, getting the product in stores, and even gave us a LIVE tour of the bottling facility where he had a big vat of Dr. Bill's Cane & Maple Syrup just coming off the production line.  We are excited to be sponsored by our very good friend, amazing inventor and a great guy at heart.  We hope you enjoy the interview.

We LOVE Jennifer Plemmons @thegirlthatgrills. Jennifer is so down to earth, and that Southern draw is so nice to listen to. Jennifer is not only a massive influence on Instagram (she reeled me in!) but is a down to earth woman who is a full time worker, wife, mom and yes rancher. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/-3BOoPuCzVI if you want to see her driving her tractor while drinking pickle juice!  It's a visual you have to see.   Jennifer has over 14,000 followers and growing and once you see her feed on Instagram you will know why.

Jennifer and I will hopefully be cooking together and doing it live when I hit the road after Covid.

What a great afternoon with Misty @seattlebutcherswife up in Seattle!
We learned about Misty and @mondoandsons which is her husband's family business which has been in the family for four generations!

Misty also talks about her Arteflame grill, her other grills and answered the questions our viewers had about  the "Pork Pretzel" and "The Bacon Wrapped Donut" (which really isn't what you are thinking but you'll see it here explained).  For those who wonder about when to post, what to post, and where to post on Instagram, she answers some common questions everyone asks along with an interesting tid big on the food photography.  It was an interview packed with great information and some of it rarely talked about.  Thank you Misty for your patience, and providing us with all your fantastic insight!
