This week’s episode fires on all cylinders—birthday shoutouts, Windy City recap, brisket-fueled hotel plans, and a BBQ restaurant on a British airfield. But it’s not all fun and burnt ends, Sheed and James get serious about food safety in summer heat.

From why coleslaw is a silent killer at the cookout to BBQ-inspired junk food you’re too ashamed to admit you love, we’ve got tips, hot takes, and hard truths for every backyard hero and plate-piling guest.

We also tackle one of the hardest questions for anyone starting in the food business: “Where do you even begin?”

This one’s equal parts laugh-out-loud and eye-opening. Tap in, take notes, and clean that grill.
