Episode 297 features former Major League Baseball player and executive, Ed Lynch, inventor of the BBQ Hooker, John Garcia with his son, Gabriel, and winner of Netflix's season two Barbecue Showdown, Thyron Mathews

Ed Lynch was drafted by the Texas Rangers and after three years in their minor league system he was traded to the New York Mets and had the opportunity to play with several outstanding players, including Dwight "Doc" Gooden and The Franchise, Tom Seaver. Ed was eventually traded to the Chicago Cubs, which is where he ended his playing career. Ed then made the decision to attend law school and shortly after graduating was back in baseball working as an executive. There is nothing better than hearing stories from someone who lived his life as a player and an executive and has many opinions on the game of baseball.

John and Gabriel Garcia are a father and son combo. John, the father, is the inventor of the BBQ Hooker, a device which is meant to be a better way to flip your various proteins while grilling. We met them at the National BBQ Festival and were impressed by the device, but more than that we were impressed by John and Gabriel who are trying to "build a better mousetrap."

Thyron Mathews is an award-winning barbecue chef and pitmaster, known for his appearances on Netflix's Barbecue Showdown, where he won the season two title. He is also the founder of T&T Barbecue and Catering in Iowa which he started with his wife, Terri. Thyron is originally from Royal, Florida, and his Southern roots heavily influence his BBQ style. He made his way back to television as he is on the Food Network's sixth season of BBQ Brawl. We met Thyron at the National BBQ Festival where he was cooking for a huge crowd, but still was able to spend some time with us.
