re: Myron Mixon question

The guy may be a jerk and his restaurants may be terrible but you don’t win that much money, trophies and world championship rings if you don’t know your business about smoking various cuts of meat. Most of these contest are judged by the blind box method with the exception of whole hog. I’m not sure how many of you have smoked pork with peach wood but that’s what Myron uses on pork. I once lived by a peach orchard in Ruston, LA growing up and it’s fabulous for smoking because it’s mild yet has a distinct taste. I much prefer peach over any other fruit wood that I’ve tried on pork but it’s hard to get. Myron also uses wagyu beef and has some guy that supplies him with cherry picked pigs that I’m sure are a notch above what you can buy in the store so right there the guy has a leg up on most of his competition.

That episode on chopped featured his arrogant son who is twice as abrasive as Myron yet he does not have the trophies, rings and cash won from these contest to back up all that bravado.
