So last weekend we went to the New Jersey State BBQ championship in North Wildwood. It's a master series competition, meaning we have to cook brisket, pork butt, ribs and chicken. It also means that we were cooking against the best cooks on the East Coast. The reigning team of the year in KCBS was there, as well as half of the top ten from the KCBS last year. We got to drink a few beers with Big Moe Cason, who's been on all of the big BBQ TV shows, which was pretty cool. We cooked all the ancillary categories on Saturday, including my wife's first entry (Oreo cheesecake cupcakes for the dessert entry). It was a really cool competition, competing against 63 really good teams and cooking right next to the ocean.

We did pretty good too....

Saturdays Ancillaries were;

Burger: 25th (only thing we didn't take pics of, but we cooked Cheesesteak burgers with a fried onion smoked cheese whiz sauce)

Sauce: 6th

Dessert: 25th

And the main comp on Sunday;

Chicken: 13th

Ribs: 1st

Pork: 36th

Brisket: 7th

Overall: 8th

We did way better than we expected, especially considering we were competing against 63 of the best teams in the East Coast. We also met a bunch of people in the business, so we may be able to get some more sponsors for next year, especially after our showing this weekend.

When you make it on that BBQ show on Netflix, I want a @Poopy shout out
