Thanks to everyone that participated. Cooks, judges, folks that came down to say 'hi' (some Brethren that weren't able to compete this year, some Brethren I haven't seen in years). It was a really fun weekend.

The weather yesterday was beautiful. Everyone I ran into seemed happy and appeared to be having a good time. The bands on Saturday and Sunday were great.

A really fun weekend. And who was it with the donuts Saturday night? Those were AMAZING. A team with a deep fryer made their own donuts and were walking around sharing them with fellow teams and organizers. They need to be the first folks to sign up for the 8th Annual Battle of the BBQ Brethren.

Congrats to Tim and the Stubborn Bull folks.

The donut guys were Pigman and the Sounders. Good guys.

i'm glad I made it down, even if only for a little while. Always great seeing everyone and really looking forward to the possibility of the LI triple crown next year. Congrats to stubborn bull, and steve, and all the others that walked!

Thanks

Congrats to Tim and Stubborn Bull on the GC and everyone who was proud of their finish whether you walked or not personal goals are the best and to be proud of.... I really enjoy this event, all the gossip and nonsense that goes on is so entertaining to me. Phil and Steve going chest to chest at 8am, who's talking smack about who because they said this about them! hahaha. One of my favorite events just for the entertainment! But Phil you do a great job running the event, you do even a better job training your side kicks to help things run smoothly. Congrats to you and all that made this another successful year. Lets keep this thing going, especially all the gossip. I Love it!

You would get a velvet rope around waiting for you.

the chit talking is my favorite part! and the only reason i rolled out of bed at 6am on a sunday and made my way there, and i wasn't even competing this year! Always great to see all the brethren. Make fun of each other, and hang out. I was 5 miles away from the event and I could smell the smoke when I pulled in my driveway saturday night.

Great contest!! Nice job stubborn bull and jacked up!!
Phil I think I left a couple tables behind.

All I Can Say Is A Xanax Saved The Poobahs Life

wait, he had xanax!!!????


farker. :tsk:


but, anyhoo, that was my first time there, and i'd have to say, honestly, that was a very good event.

there were amusements for adults, kids, and of course, competitors(da gohsip). :becky:

well done for sure.

I've been to a lot of BBQ contests in a lot of places over a lot of decades and the Battle of the Brethren is as good as it gets. The reasons for being there are so genuine. I came to see some old friends and have some fun but that was the easy part. I also got to help Phil by coming and when you see how hard he works just to carry on the Brethren love and how hard everyone else (Kyle) works to help him it's worth the trip just for that. Then add in solid power, water, shade trees, good money, a well run judging tent, and all the friendly Long Islanders, and...well I'm really glad I made the trip. Cheers to you Phil!

Congrats to Tim, Matt and Steve. You guys are always one step ahead of the competition. Job well done!

Congratulations to our GC Stubborn Bull and RGC Jacked Up, and to all those that walked.. Even if you didnt get a walk, as long as you had a good time, and picked up a thing or 2, it was a success.

There were some major players behind the scenes that helped make this happen that I'l like to thank publicly.

Kyle did a lot of the leg work i couldnt get out to do and was with me around the clock for the past few months. Theres a huge amount of small things that need attention in the weeks leading up to an event this large and in the short amount of time we had to do it, he was key.

Motoeric as always got us some awesome prizes for the raffle and gets word out to the media. Skip and Westex get items for the infrastructure.. and as usual grim reapers were on hand to help get the site setup.

WillieB ran our vending site to help raise money for the John Theissen Childrens Foundation with Matt of Jacked Up backing us up as well as supplying a xanax to save sleds life. One of the most important jobs went to Tom Duval and Boogiesnap who took care of the food and service of our V.I.P tent. We lost some of our sponsors from previous years but picked up some major players this year. Boogiesnap kept our food flowing, did some demos for our sponsors and made them feel like a V.I.P. Tom ensured that the tent was presentable, kept the general public out so the sponsors had some place to relax, made sure the beer taps were full and working and coolers never ran dry. Keeping our sponsors happy and engaged will be key to the event next year(August 2-3) and they did great..

and my kids who work their asses off all weekend lugging ice, trash and tending to anything that needs attention, and of course to the teams and judgesthat come down to make it happen.

Theres alot that goes into this event and I thank everyone that helped and hope i didn't forget anyone.

and now that its over i dont know what to do with myself.... think im going to disneyworld. :mrgreen:




Thanks guys!

Congratulations to everyone who walked. Great job Stubborn Bull on GC and Jacked Up on RGC

I would like to thank all of the teams. I had a great time meeting and working with all of you.

I would also like to thank Phil. I had a great time helping you out, and I hope to do it again next year.

Kyle

Great job Phil and his helpers. Congrats Stubborn Bull and Jacked Up. And thanks especially to the brethren who either stopped by to say hello or welcomed me into their pits to share some food, beer and fun.

I'm proud to hang the Brethren banner on my trailer ........ it covers the decals from the landscaper/previous owner.

Babylon Grillbillies would like to thank Phil and all who helped put on another stellar event at the maples. Keeps getting better and better Congrats to stubbon bull and jacked up on GC and Reserve. Also Blazin butts on winning the grill cook for the 6th year straight maybe we get you next year.
Regards
Ray

Congrats to Stubborn Bull & Jacked up! Matt & Steve made it look effortless. Also to Blazin Butts & Babylon Grillbillies for grilling. As always it was a great event. Thanks to Phil (and his whole family), Eric, Kyle and everyone else that worked so hard on this event. It was great to see everyone and hang out with friends, old & new. Phil thanks for putting a request in for good weather too. It was probably the best comp weather I've ever seen.

you have people lugging trash? hahahah
