Meet Your Host
Smoked meat barbecue enthusiast, news journalist, and sports radio broadcaster Michael “Chigger” Willard collects a storybook of life captured through the lens of people he encounters. With a perspective seasoned by small town life in the Deep South, he dedicates conversations to uncovering savory nuggets of information, light-hearted moments of humor, and revealing glimpses of humanity.
An Alabaman by birth and North Carolinian by choice, Chigger’s barbecue tastes vary as widely as his curiosity about new flavors, cooking processes, and honored traditions. Still, his favorite low and slow styles slather pork in sweet and spicy sauce concoctions built on mixed measures of vinegar, tomato, and brown sugar.
