See what we did there...catchy title and all? Geez, we crack ourselves up..
But seriously - we continue our roll call of BBQ competitors for
the 2022 Bull City BBQ Bash with our next team called -
The Meatwave is helmed by Josh Bousel and got its humble beginnings as he and his friends gathered around a dollar store grill in celebration of moving to a place in New York City with outdoor space - a rarity and a bonus!
He immediately found a love for cooking with a live fire and started hosting cookouts every other weekend in the summer, which was dubbed "The Meatwave."
After a few years of doing this, Josh began to write a recipe blog about his cooking experiences, which led to a position that he kept for 10 years - as the primary grilling and barbecue writer at Serious Eats.
In 2012, he decided that The Meatwave was ready for its next adventure, successfully raising funds to start up a competition team, and competed in a number of events in the New York area.
In talking about joining the BCBB BBQ Compeition, Josh said, "My competition endeavours got put on hold after I decided to relocate to Durham in 2015 and I'm so excited for The Bull City BBQ Bash to be my first time back to a competition since then!"
