Episode 281 features outstanding stories from Barbecue Hall of Fame inductee, Famous Dave Anderson and New York State Baseball Hall of Fame member, Dom Scala.
Dave Anderson known worldwide as Famous Dave Anderson is dedicated to making outstanding barbecue.  In 1994 he opened The Original Famous Dave’s in a small Wisconsin town where he was serving as many as 6000 people a week in a place where only 2000 people lived.  The sucess of that first restaurant lead to the opening of over 180 restaurants nationwide and over $500 Million in sales and the creation of over 20,000 jobs.  How Famous Dave achieved this level of success and the road he took to get there is filled with plenty of curves, twists, and bumps in that road.  Listening to Dave talk about his life is an education in what to do, as well as what not to do.  Dave is one of the most award winning BBQ Grillmasters and has become known as “America’s Rib King!” Dave's philanthropy is another  part of his life as he and his family founded The LifeSkills Center for Leadership which provides leadership experiences to at-risk and underprivileged Native American youths.
Dom Scala is a baseball lifer.  After playing in the minor leagues he made the decision to become a coach and in 1978 Dom earned a World Series Championship with the New York Yankees while working as their bullpen coach.  Dom's career is filled with honors and accolades, too many of which to list here.  As Head Coach of the Adelphi University Panthers from 2003-2021, Dom has seen dozens of his former players drafted or signed to professional contracts. His efforts for the the Adelphi University Athletic Department have raised well over 1.5 million dollars. The funding has built a new baseball field and the construction Adelphi Panthers Baseball Team Clubhouse in 2017. In 2019 Coach Scala had an unprecedented season, clinching his 400th win at Adelphi University and being named the North East 10 Coach of the Year. In 2021 Dom left Adelphi University after 18 successful seasons and is focused on expanding his youth camps. In 2021, Dom was inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame.
