Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer but it is also a time to salute the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the service of our country. In this episode of The Low & Slow Barbecue Show, we meet a military member who serves our nation in the U.S. Army and serves barbecue fans through his business, Blue Suede BBQ. We find out about Blue Suede BBQ’s roster of rubs and sauces and how Pitmaster Chris Loschiavo enlisted in the life of smoke – and in the U.S. military after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Listen to learn about the charities Blue Suede BBQ supports and where you can find the Blue Suede BBQ sauces and rubs that provide purchase proceeds for those organizations. As we commemorate Military Appreciate Month and Memorial Day, we talk with Chris about his military service in the U.S. Army, where he’s Lt. Col. and the Division Engineer in the 82nd Airborne Division stationed at Fort Liberty near Fayetteville, NC.
