Step into the heartbeat of New York City and the fire of a rising young pitmaster. This week on the Barbecue Radio Network, Freddie Bell sits down with Dallas BBQ’s own Stuart Wettenson—third‑generation restaurateur keeping NYC fed and fired up since ’78. Then, meet 18‑year‑old Brayden Estrella, a blind pitmaster with unstoppable drive, big dreams, and a cookbook on the way. Two journeys, one love for barbecue. Don’t miss it—only on the Barbecue Radio Network
