This Is What It Takes to Feed a Crowd in Memphis: Inside Al Frugoni’s Smokeslam Kitchen

​‪@SmokeSlam‬ 2025 wasn’t just about incredible barbecue—it was about the grind behind it. In this video, we take you behind the fire with my crew as we prep, cook, and serve thousands of plates of unforgettable food. No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just teamwork, flames, and pure passion for open-fire cooking. From 6am fire-ups to late-night cleanup, this is what it really takes to deliver big flavor at one of the largest BBQ festivals in the country. 🔥 If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a massive BBQ event… this is it. ➡️ Hit play and step into the fire.
