Omfg!! Thats all I can say about this amazing weekend! I Headed down to one of my bbq families J&C BBQ and Catering restaurant at Lebanon for a double header block party weekend. Friday was a rcoa cookoff for wings and spare ribs. I managed to walk in both categories. Great job team Icebox Performance and all of the Garrets ( Will Garrett) for absolutely killing this cookoff. Great job kids. There was also a kids cookoff that i had the honor of helping Audrey Tyler mini me with my brother Allen Carter. Congratulations aury (wish i knew how to spell your name)on your 2nd place kids cue burger challenge.
Next up was the unbelievable event, outlaw bbq association today where I had a fun time cooking with Brittany Poteet for her first outlaw event where she managed to snag a 2nd place ribs call with what she knows best. Restaurant ribs with a twist!!! Great job girl. Hope you can come to the next one. I also had the pleasure of cooking with Jason Hertz. Congratulations on 3rd place overall and many thanks for teaching me how to dial in the Smokin’ Iron Fabrication reverse flow offset. Ran like a dream today! Congratulations Joseph Poteet for reserve grand champion where he has upgraded from one rack joe to one drum joe. And finally for my results. I snagged a 3rd place chicken, 4th place ribs and a 2nd place brisket for my first ever grand championship and b**g for the jack daniels invitational drawing. So stoked! They had the most amazing trophies i have ever gotten. Custom made knives from Texas with hand made leather sheath and bags. Custom Texas handles. Unfortunately I didnt now get any picture except for my chicken.
