Well its not very often that I say that I was not ready for a cook-off well this one my friends I was not ready. Long shifts at work and late nights helped in my demise this past weekend. Also 50mph winds dont help. Thank God my wife came to play she placed 2nd dessert, 10th beans, final table in cooks choice, I managed to come up with a 8th brisket and final table in ribs and chicken..
First of all we would like to thank our good friend Darwin Hoel for the free entree. Its not very often that we have the chance to cook in south Texas but we did. We placed third over all out of 25 teams 1st in ribs, 1st in pork, 7th in chicken, 4th in brisket. Had a good time with our friend James next stop is Geronimo.
There were over 267 Teams this year!!! We were blessed to take 10th in Ribs and 1st in Cooks-Choice. Weather was great and the beer was cold!!
Talk about some of the worst weather we have cooked in. But there was a silver lining to this story my right hand man took 1st in Chicken and I took 7th in Ribs and 8th in brisket.. Next stop San Antonio Rodeo BBQ Cook-off..
