Knows what a fatty is.
I see info all over the place about the competition but nothing for the little guy who wants to come see you guys. Is there a link for info on attending this event? (Woops, event in Manorville on the 6th and 7th.)
Don't let him fool you,folks. It's a barbie corvette with the rear tires worn smooth and a seat that smells like day old farts.I will be offering golf carts rides for $5
BBQ events can be a huge let down for "spectators". Unless there is some sort of festival going on or you were invited by a team there will nothing for you to do, or eat and nowhere to sit and hangout. Spectators beware! You may have a great time or wish you stayed home watching I Dream of Jeannie reruns.
Thanks for all the replies. Hey sledneck, I met you at Will's in Bay Shore. I'm sad it's not there now. The Barbie ride would be great (for $2 of course) as long as I was eating some of Phil's Prime Rib. You all need to run a comp like on the food network where all the spectators get to eat your fine Q.
I absolutely agree. Because I cook with very minimal equipment, I get quite a few folks stopping by to ask questions because we don't have a large, trailer mounted cooker. We're using, basically, the same equipment that they have in their back yards. I have been asked exactly twice 'How can I get some of the food?' and I explain that we aren't set up for vending and point them in the direction of the folks who are set up for vending. That takes care of that.Last weekend at the Western Maine comp, there were tons of people looking to see what was going on during the Sunday morning chaos. We had our cookers out front, which drew plenty of fellas all pointing and talking. After chicken turn in, I left the "leftovers" sitting out on our kettle for them to look at. You'd be surprised at the attention. Of course several wanted to eat, but most understood that they couldnt. It was good enough for most just to look. I tried to talk to as many as possible while I was out front probing. I think we as teams can help to make it more enjoyable without having to hand out food.
I'll have a bouncy castle and a slip and slide.
