COMPETITOR

Gettin' Basted

HEAD COOK: Brad Leighninger

COMPETITION: World Barbecue Championship - CBA Division


Brad Leighninger is the head chef of the world championship winning Gettin' Basted Competition BBQ Team. A professional slacker with a keen eye for obscure collectibles, Brad recently opened the award winning Gettin' Basted restaurant in Branson, Missouri. Many wasted years spent in the bartending and restaurant business honed his passion for all things food and drink. Brad travels the globe seeking his next transcendental pork experience. His current goal is to make something that 'tastes like that pig I had in Puerto Rico'.
