#72 Kathy "BBQ MOM" Trainor | How BBQ Is Bringing Everyone to the Table

🔥 This week on the BBQ Therapy Podcast, we're joined by Kathy "BBQ MOM" Trainor—a passionate advocate, educator, competition BBQ enthusiast, and the Executive Director of Inclusive BBQ Events.

Known throughout the barbecue community as BBQ MOM, Kathy has spent years proving that barbecue is about much more than great food. It's about family, friendship, community, and creating opportunities for everyone to feel welcome around the pit.

In this episode, Kathy shares her journey into competition BBQ, how her family became deeply involved in the barbecue world, and the inspiration behind founding Inclusive BBQ Events, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing people together through cooking, education, and community outreach.

We also talk about:

🔥 How Kathy earned the nickname "BBQ MOM"
🔥 The welcoming spirit of the BBQ community
🔥 Kids Q and why introducing children to barbecue matters
🔥 Building confidence and life skills through cooking
🔥 What goes into organizing successful BBQ events
🔥 Funny competition stories from the road
🔥 Why food has the power to bring people together
🔥 And the friendly competition happening this year as Kathy goes head-to-head against her husband on the BBQ circuit!

Whether you're a seasoned pitmaster, a backyard griller, or someone who simply loves hearing great stories from amazing people, this conversation is packed with inspiration, laughter, and plenty of barbecue wisdom.
