Cowboy Coffee Hour with Cowboy Kent and Shannon Rollins

by Pionaire Podcasting

Welcome to Cowboy Coffee Hour: gather round for stories from the trail from Cowboy Kent and Shannon Rollins that are full of heart, faith, and of course - a little of fire. Kent Rollins is a cowboy and has been a chuck wagon cook for over 30 years, cooking for ranches all across America. You might’ve seen him on Food Network’s Chopped Grill Masters, Cast Iron Cowboy on the Outdoor channel, or alongside his wife, and cookbook co-author, Shannon, on their YouTube show with over 3.4 Million subscribers, where they share the humor and history behind cowboy philosophy. Whether you’re looking for authentic tales from a real-world cowboy, wisdom from way out West, or some of Kent’s famous cast iron cooking tips (and his legendary cowboy coffee recipe), you’ve found it here. So pull up a stump by the fire and get ready for some life lessons in grit, faith, and the cowboy code, straight from the frontier to your ears.  And remember: life is like gravy, you just gotta keep stirring to get out all the lumps.
