Its not every day you get to sit down with a BBQ Hall of Fame member but at the inagural SmokeSlam BBQ Festival in Memphis Tennessee we had that opportunity. Melissa is two time World Champion at Memphis in May and this year she found herself at the upstart competing event, SmokeSlam, where she was one of the faces of the event as well as the reason that the largest prize in youth BBQ was being given away that weekend too.
We talked about her passion for BBQ, business and her founding of the World Junior BBQ League where she hopes to inspire the next generation of competition pitmasters.
