Air Date: December 1, 2021 Welcome to Episode 179 of the podcast. My guest this week is Eric Dalton from the @dalton_eats Instagram account. A pharmacist by trade, Eric is working towards turning his passion for BBQ into a potential full time career. He is currently doing some catering and meal prep with the hope of getting into a BBQ trailer for catering events. Eric and his wife live in Houston, having moved there from Orlando, FL with a brief stop in Nashville, TN along the way. Eric has formed a partnership with podcast sponsor Barrel Boss Q and is currently cooking on 2 of their smokers. I’m looking forward to watching Eric’s progress and we will plan to chat again about our shared interest in bourbon!
