## Resource

This podcast episode features the esteemed John Marcus, a distinguished figure in both the culinary and entertainment realms. Our discourse delves into the essence of barbecue, wherein Marcus articulates his belief that all barbecue should be cooked over wood, a sentiment steeped in respect for the craft. Moreover, we explore the evolution of food shows on television, with Marcus advocating for a substantial reduction in their prevalence, citing a lack of originality and authenticity in contemporary programming. Throughout the engaging conversation, we also reflect on personal anecdotes and humorous insights, including Marcus's whimsical contemplation of cooking for historical figures and the challenges faced in high-pressure writing environments. As we conclude, we invite our listeners to embrace the art of barbecue with a renewed appreciation and to remember our guiding principle: turn it, don't burn it.
