Rasheed Philips is an open fire pitmaster, writer, and host of This Week in Barbecue. A breakout finalist on Netflix’s American Barbecue Showdown, he now blends storytelling, cooking, and meaningful community work through Philips Barbeque Co and The Fireside newsletter.
Rasheed is the new USA correspondent of BBQ magazine. One of barbecue’s most trusted voices and recognised pitmasters, Philips will be taking deep dives into the people, places and ideas shaping modern BBQ, from neighbourhood pits to global stages, with stories, trends, and tough questions from inside the smoke – real conversations from the fire line, where craft, culture, and community all share the same grill.
