Your BBQ Sauce is Best: How to Create Your Own BBQ Sauce Recipes

Jeff Slankard was born in 1954 and grew up just outside of Kansas City on what used to be an Indian reservation. His ancestors (Swan Creek band of the Chippewa Indians) disbanded the tribe in the early 1900s. He went to college in Phoenix and then worked in the oilfields for 10 years as an engineer. That’s when coworkers gave him his nickname, Hipshot. He then earned his Masters degree and taught school until his retirement in 2012. Today he lives close to Austin, Texas and enjoys retirement, family, and of course BBQ. BBQ has been a lifelong hobby. Now, building the website www.original-bbq-recipes.com and writing about BBQ makes everything even more enjoyable.
