We competed at our very first KCBS & NEBS contest this past weekend at the Roc City Rib Fest, and with some amazing help & guidance from DivaQ we managed to take home a trophy (second place bacon, 6th overall nebs) and enough cash to pay the entry to our next contest, The Crossborder Blues, Brews & Que. We sure learned a lot at this contest, it's amazing how easily something that's been practiced over and over is a whole new ball game when it's during a competition. We'll be working hard to bring up our kcbs scores for the next contest. Full results can be found here

I Somehow forgot to post about this weekend's BBQ Competition in Rochester NY! After a number of false starts, the BBQBlog.ca "Pork Ninjas" will be making their debut this weekend. We're cooking every contest that's offered at Roc City (Ribs, KCBS, NEBS, Kids) and we've been really looking forward to it all winter! 2 members of our team (myself and Jamie P) attended last year and became certified KCBS judges, and had a blast eating.  If you are in the area of Ontario Beach Park in Rochester pop by and say hi!

I'm headed down to Memphis in May  again this year, I had a blast last year,  and hoped I could return again this year, and I'm going to be able to do it! This year's trip started out with similar planning as last year, except this year I'm driving down with my friend and brother in fire Jamie P. We had already signed up  and payed for the VIP program again this year, even though the price had increased.. I should really look into selling my vip pass to someone, as it' looks like I'm not going to have much of a chance to use it this year as I've been invited by Yazoo's Delta Q (last years Memphis in May Grand Champion!) to help them cook the ancillary categories. It should be an interesting week, and I hope I'll learn lots by being in such great company. As always you can follow me on twitter.
