Earl Tatum

Name’s Earl "The Rib Whisperer" Tatum, a 57-year-old retired firefighter from Kansas City, Missouri. I’ve spent decades perfecting ribs—spare, baby backs, you name it—smoked slow with applewood for those perfect ribs with a whole lotta love. My BBQ tales come straight from the heart, warm and patient, just like my cooking. Pull up a chair, and let’s talk ribs the Kansas City way.
