One hell of a weekend at Big Smoke Bonnyville! 🔥🏆
Sometimes everything just seems to come together, and this weekend was one of those weekends.
We started off in the KCBS Backyard competition and came away with 1st Place Chicken 🥇, 1st Place Ribs 🥇 and Grand Champion 🏆!
That Grand Championship also punched our ticket to the KCBS World Chicken Championship and World Rib Championship in Lebanon, Tennessee, in May 2027!
We followed that up with a 2nd Place finish in the Drink Ancillary 🥈, and had an absolute blast doing a sampling event where we served up BBQ chicken drumsticks and Russ Turner brisket to everyone who came by.
Then came Sunday and the KCBS Masters. We put our food up against some of the best teams in Western Canada and came just short of the Top 10 in both Brisket and Ribs.
Couldn’t be happier with how the weekend turned out.
A couple of big wins, some beautiful trophies, amazing BBQ, awesome people and memories that will stick with us for a long time.
