How Black Pitmasters Shaped American Barbecue

All right, when we come back, we'll answer your questions from the old mailbag.

All right, welcome back to the Off the Menu podcast.

If you have a question, comment, or suggestion, please send us an email at mailbag at theoffthemenu.com. All right, let's go to our producer, Tom.

What is in the mailbag this week?

This week's mailbag question is from Joanne in Denver, Colorado.

And Joanne says she's a big fan of the show and her son is almost six and a picky eater.

Tom always talks about growing up a picky eater.

What suggestions do you have that I can cook for my son? So,

funny question.

This is not how I was raised because I was pretty much raised with one meal, you ate it.

However, I am a pushover.

When my kids were growing up, we cooked multiple meals.

If I knew they were going to love grilled cheese or if I knew they were going to love chicken nuggets, which most kids do in fries, we had basically several options as I am a pushover.

You

are a pushover, Joel.

I am.

I

would be the worst person to hold someone hostage.

You know, we'd be playing games and all that other stuff.

So, yeah, so... we, I, I catered to, we catered to our kids growing up and sometimes I ate kids food.

Yeah.

Were you a picky eater, Joel? No, you're not.

No, I wasn't.

I'm probably more picky now being a pescatarian than anything.

Yeah.
