Who is on the BBQ Mt. Rushmore? Not talking about success in comps—I’m guessing that’s easily quantifiable. Here’s what I’m talking about:
Who are the national figures who have inspired and taught the most folks at the deepest levels? Who are the grill masters who have advanced backyard BBQ to the greatest degree from the standpoint of freely sharing their vast knowledge, with that knowledge resulting in BBQ being significantly changed and improved by their efforts?
I’ll admit up front I really can’t speak with authority on this, but I’m a sports nut and the Mt. Rushmore question comes up all the time in sports so it got me wondering about BBQ. I’ll give a feeble list based on my own learning:
1. Aaron Franklin
2. Meathead Goldwyn
3. Chris Lilly
4. Mike Mills
