I had the pleasure of meeting the board for this comp saturday morning in CT. There is no doubt in my mind that this contest will be first class. The group of people running it are very involved and truly care about the competitors.

There are so many extras that no other contest I have ever been to offer to there teams.

The location cannot be beat IMO.

Please read and hear what they have to say and go to this competition, you will be blown away by care and effort put into this.

This in my mind will be the east coast RITZ of comps.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, I have contact with the board and would be happy to pass on any comments or questions.

Thanks everyone and see you in Norwalk, CT.

I will never regret not paying $350 for an entry fee

 

[Jacked UP BBQ]

You are getting a lot for the money. I sat down and went over everything. If you put everything together and the total prize money opps you have to win, 350 is actually cheap for this comp. You really need to see the prize money break down.

 

[Jacked UP BBQ]

Cook some chicken wings supplied by the event and win 500 for first place???? Don't sound bad to me.

Is that money guaranteed or is it based on entry fees?

 

[Jacked UP BBQ]

The money is guaranteed. I'm telling you steve, this is going to be great. Come cook with me.
