I did it but it didn't go over well.

Jacked UP BBQ · 06-01-2010, 12:30 PM

I was at Roc City Ribfest this weekend and one of the contests was their house comp, the roc city rib off. It was open garnish inedible was fine. I thought it would be funny to do what everyone always talks about and garnish it with $1 bills. I put foil on the bottom and up the sides to protect the food from hitting the money. Well needless to say, the rep was not very happy with me. I still think it is funny as hell as do most others that were at the comp. It was just fun. BUt the rep and the judges were appalled by this. One point was proven to me in this case. Garnish is huge factor in scoring, because I got all 4 and 5's in appearance and one 7. The ribs were at least a 7 all day. Lesson learned go garnish or go home!!!!

next time try $5

landarc · 06-01-2010, 12:37 PM

They were appalled, did they throw the money back at you in disgust when they were done judging?

Jacked UP BBQ · 06-01-2010, 12:39 PM

The best part is, they never gave me my money back!!!!!

Alexa RnQ · 06-01-2010, 12:48 PM

Now there's one entry I'd really like a photo of. That's a crackup.

Divemaster · 06-01-2010, 01:01 PM

Too funny and all to often to tempting!

LMAO!

mgwerks · 06-01-2010, 01:17 PM

Maybe next time try lining it with IQ tests...

MattTee · 06-01-2010, 01:27 PM

Did you hear back from the judges or are you just going from the scores? How did you end up overall? It was my first comp and I did not do the NEBS or KCBS, just ribs on Saturday.

Jacked UP BBQ · 06-01-2010, 01:31 PM

@MattTee - I do not have the results in front of me to see where I ended up. I never looked at the placing. I looked at my scores. I did however talk to a few table captains and a rep who told me how mad everyone was. It was quite obvious they took it out on me. One of the Reps walked over with my box to lecture me but i was not there. The stink and deal they made out of me doing that took any chances I may have had of winning. I was already sour grapes in their books.

B C BBQ · 06-01-2010, 01:35 PM

I thought you were kidding when you told us you did that.

Jorge · 06-01-2010, 01:40 PM

Personally, I find it funny. As a cook do you think it might have pissed off some judges, and possibly had some impact on the entries following yours?

Dan - 3eyzbbq · 06-01-2010, 01:48 PM

Slill laughing at that one.

06-01-2010, 01:53 PM

Matt, I would have put a note in the lid that all money was laundered and sanitized.....

And silly us, here we were thinking judges were supposed to be scoring the appearance of the meat, not the garnish.
