He actually phoned me a month or two ago and we tossed around a few ideas for his cook-off. I was wanting to compete in it, but I leave for vacation on the 13th, so I can't.

I didn't want to place your check in my personal account.<br /><br />Although I am not competing in this contest, I will be doing some q'n, so maybe we can swap some food. The items you post on your blog always look delicious and I'd love to try one or two of your ABT's.<br /><br />In a week or so, I plan on posting some information about a few of our judges. One of our judges is a Jim Beam Sponsored National Competition BBQ Pitmaster, he is also KCBS certified. Another is the head culinary professor at the College of DuPage. I'm still working on obtaining a third. <br /><br />We've also hired a band, which I'll be posting some information about in the following weeks. This band specializes in blues, R&B, soul.<br /><br />Blues and BBQ, it doesn't get any better.<br /><br />Now, about them Berkshires...you must be reading my mind. They're supposedly the Kobe Beef of pork. I have not had the opportunity to get my hands on any yet, but have found a few places that carry them on special order. After competing in Westmont, I've been on a quest to find the best. most fresh ingredients possible.pig daddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835261660388810972.post-4670876307307613682010-07-13T18:09:04.631-05:002010-07-13T18:09:04.631-05:00Did anyone attend ribfest this year?
