Competition Barbeque Team...

|
For 10 years now the barbeque circuit has been my
home away from home. It has been a great venue for marketing
Butt Rub® but mostly it's been a whole lot of fun.
While cooking amongst friends is fun, the
competitions are as competitive as it gets. Having said that I
know of no other competition where the foes are as friendly!
BBQ folks, organizers, judges and cooks are as good as they get.

"While the Worlds of a Culinary Institute of America trained
Chef and a BBQ Champion are really quite different, the very
best of both Worlds clearly seem to share a common
characteristic. Both have that personal involvement in
a labor of love that makes their end result so superior." |
