In this episode, I am joined by award-winning, BBQ legends and first ladies of ‘Cue’ Sam and Shauna. Here we chat about how they ended up sleeping on Dolly Parton’s drummers’ floor during their six-month USA road trip and later went on to have their food requested by Dolly herself when she played in Cardiff, top BBQ tips, their love affair with American BBQ and how they brought a taste of the Deep South to Wales.
