This technique has proven to be a little bit of a challenge when getting the fine details ready for the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019re literally cooking two recipes every day for the cookbook, just to nail the exact ratios and the exact spice amounts,\u201d Segovia said.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the amount of followers and views his social media accounts has gained over the years has definitely been rewarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Segovia offers a word of advice for people who look to get into barbecue competitions, content creation, or anything anyone aspires to be good at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p> \u201cAnybody can do it, if they find whatever their drive is, they can do it,\u201d Segovia said. \u201cBut it is a job, it\u2019s still work. You have to plan, execute, think of everything you\u2019re going to say, how you\u2019re going to say it and then you gotta get it all edited and make it look good and put it out there and it\u2019s challenging, but it is fun and like I said if it\u2019s something you like and you enjoy doing, that\u2019s something anybody can do quite frankly.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about ArnieTex visit <a href=\"http:\/\/arnietex.com\">arnietex.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is Timothy Chapman for Vaquero Radio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timothy Chapman The comments read \u201cEverybody\u2019s favorite Tio&#8221; In just about every \u201cArnie Tex\u201d video, with millions of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":7048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[652,80,44,112],"class_list":["post-7047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-barbecue","tag-food","tag-news","tag-rgv"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
