This are some of the pictures of the Charlotte's Smokin' Flavor Fest BBQ competition, on April 17, 2010. It was a fine day for a cook-off and really nice time. Our team, Butts-N-Gutts, competed in all 4 catergories (pork, ribs, chicken and brisket) and the bonus category of, Open Grill. Here is our chicken cooking. Looking good so far.
Here is our ribs box, ready for presentation for the judges.
Our brisket is also ready for turn in.
My lovely wife holding up our 1st.Place Chicken win and 3rd. Place Brisket, we came in 4th in the open grill category, our entry was a marinated skirt steak fajitas with grilled onions and peppers and Peter Luger steak sauce. Our team came in 4th place overall, out of 16 competitors. This is our first win for the 2010 season.
The crew worked very hard and put in some long hours. Our backs were achy, feet hurt, hungry, a little cranky, but nothing puts a smile on your face, like winning! Thanks to all who support us and the fans that wished us well. Get ready, we need to practice for the next one, so bring your hunger.
