This week I talk with Luke Short of RB3 BBQ —  we’re joined by a man who’s built a name for himself one rib at a time—Luke Short-Sr. Known for his fierce flavor and consistent presence on the Rib Cookoff Association circuit, Luke has become a standout competitor in one of the fastest-growing formats in barbecue. Whether he’s behind a pit or sharing stories from the road, his passion for ribs and competition cooking shines through every bite.

In this episode, we’ll dig into Luke’s journey into barbecue, what makes the RCA different, and how he keeps his edge in a game where one bite is all it takes to win or lose.
