Last contest I had a judge talk to me after judging asking why teams are trying so hard to make their brisket taste so "beefy". My response was 3 words. Because. It. Wins.

Couldn't agree with this more. We struggled a lot this year, aiming for what we thought was middle of the road flavor. Turns out if we want more than a bite or two of our meat when trying it, it's probably not salty enough for comp bbq. You have to amp up the flavor and pack a punch for a small bite. It's one bite bbq...
