At least 10 years ago I saw a one-time show about the history or BBQ on cable TV. I think it was either the History Channel or the Learning Channel. If memory serves correctly it was 1 hour long and had experts in the history of BBQ talk about BBQ past and present. It discussed how George Stephens started Weber and gave birth to the Sunday backyard BBQ. It featured such experts as Carolyn Wells from KCBS and Author Lolis Eric Elie discussing the early days of BBQ. This video really inspired me to get into BBQ and I would love to see it again. It is so much better then the crap I see on tv today with all the faux bbq competitions (pitmasters, chopped, etc). Anyone here know of the show I am referring to any maybe have a link to it online somewhere?
Also,
I remember a one-time show around the same time that followed a single BBQ competition. It had Myron Mixon before he became a TV star. It also had Bubba Latimer from Bub-ba-Q', Tommy Houston from Checkered Pig, and possibly Tuffy Stone although I am not sure about that one. I think this might have been hosted by Keegan Gerhard. This video was quality and did not include all the trash talk and producer created drama you get now days. Anyone remember this show?
