This week on the Barbecue Radio Network… Freddie Bell sits down with Ruben Santana — the self‑taught pitmaster who went from pandemic backyard briskets to one of New York City’s hottest barbecue destinations. Hear how Dominican heritage meets Central Texas smoke, why his chopped chicharrón brisket sandwich sells 600 a day, and what makes Bark Barbecue’s new Bushwick flagship a true live‑fire spectacle. Don’t miss it — only on the Barbecue Radio Network.
