DC BBQ Battle 2009

I had the chance the other weekend to compete in my first official BBQ competition. The Safeway Barbecue Battle on Pennsylvania Ave in the heart of Washington DC. It was amazing and I wish I had the time to do it more often.

A friend of mine knows a guy from Atlanta who owns a pretty sweet smoker and I volunteered to help out. I was in it to learn and boy did I. It was the first time any of us had ever entered a real tournament and we were pretty proud to pull a 6th place finish in Pork Shoulder in Sunday's Memphis in May contest. Overall, we finished 25th out of 48 teams and I think it is a great start.

I am sure I'll write more about it on here soon...just wanted to get the first post in.
