Holy Smoke & Sacred Cocoa

In this episode of the Mixed Monks Podcast, Brothers Horacio and Hugo dive into the smoky, surprising world of chocolate in barbecue. Horacio celebrates cocoa-glazed ribs, cornbread with melted chocolate pockets, and piña colada–brushed shrimp skewers, while Hugo explains how dark chocolate deepens flavor by balancing sweetness, bitterness, and smoke. Together, they reveal how chocolate transforms barbecue from a simple meal into a sacred, memorable feast—equal parts philosophy and finger-licking joy.
