What a day, a dam good day.
Yesterday, I was given a cooler with a 3 pack of ribs, double pack of pork butts and 2 full packet CAB briskets. Not meat I spent time sorting through, inspecting and looking for the perfect stuff to cook. 42 other teams received random coolers as well.
Do with what you’re given, I did pretty good:
🐔 - 6th The BBQ Bus
🍖 - 10th
🐖 - 20th
🐂 - 4th (lost 3 way tie) O.G. Bandits BBQ
Overall RGC! 699.9544

Congratulations to Charles Winslow-Bey with Smokey Bey's Barbecue on the GC! You’ve been on fire! Love it! I can’t wait to eat at your restaurant on my work trips.

Corey Linton calling the final top 4 teams was nerve racking needless to say!

Good morning from Weston, MO!
Hunsaker Smokers fired up with The Good Charcoal Company waiting for the meat!
Made for KC competition is a one of a kind, winner takes $10,000 and lands an 18 month contract to the KCI airport for a restaurant.

Great article about my friend’s Ava Weitl and Jordan Williams

Over the past 62 years, more than 2,000 participants have competed at the Iowa Farm Bureau Cookout Contest. This year marked a full-circle moment for a couple of the chefs. Story link below.

Early flight, grabbing some Meat Rushmore BBQ - hoping it brings me luck this coming weekend so I can eat at my own place next year!
