Who's Coming To The Plant City, Fl Bbq Competition This Weekend?

If you haven't already heard, there is a KCBS sanctioned BBQ competition in Plant City, Fla. this Saturday, November 18.

The Fourth Annual Plant City Pig Jam will give guests a chance to ask cooks about their pits, the wood they are burning, how they prepare their meat and what cooking temperatures they prefer. And of course, it's a great excuse for a down-home party with loads of savory BBQ!

In addition to some of the finest BBQ in the Southeast, there will be music, live entertainment and plenty of activities for the kids, so bring the whole family!

It all happens from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Randy L. Larson Softball Four-Plex, 1900 South Park Road/1401 Albertsons Dr. in Plant City, Fla. Parking is $3 per vehicle and admission is free.

For more information, contact the Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce at 813-754-3707

Well, here's a few I know are attending:

Bonesmokers Big Time BBQ
Fast Eddy's/Cookshack
Smokers Wild
Jerry King Midland TX
Smokin' Triggers

I'm sure all of the Florida heavy hitters will be there as well. Buttrub.com, Home BBQ, Woodhouse, Firehouse, Bill & The Dixie Chicks, Swamp Boys BBQ Team, Smokin' Cracker, and on, and on, and on . . .should be an awesome contest.

Good luck to all!

Awesome time. Grand champion homebbq.com i will post details about contest later 2 much 2 type on cell phone

Congrats all on a fine showing. I'm sure someone will list the placings at some point.....I hope.....

Just got home and half unpacked.
Exhausted, mentally and physically.

Great to see Big John (JohnMc "something") and his family, as always!
And Steve (Sledneck) was a joy to have around. What a great guy (and I will not even add "for a New Yawker" :lol: ) He is just a fine person!
Thanks to both of you for the help and support!
Ray (DRBBQ) was a "hoot" as always.
Also got to meet Fast Eddy and see the FE500. Great guy and you could smoke a Volkswagen inside that thing! Another work of art from Cookshack.

Wonderful weekend-- all the way until awards.
Well run event. Field was "kinda impressive" :redface:
I had a man that I respect a lot tell me--"You can not judge your teams ability at this event--just look around at who is here". Or something to that effect.
You know what?
Fl is becoming a winter "tour" for the full time teams you see on Food TV, the BBQ Challenge, and all of that. These teams are awesome--they do this stuff 40 times a year or more for a living! And, they are damn good and damn consistant! :twisted:
If Dave and I wanna compete, we gotta play at their level.
Do not know if we will ever get there :redface:
There is no "bottom feeding events" down here, either KCBS or FBA.

Cooked my first 10 egg omelet for breakfast on Sat. Guess I gotta start packing more breakfast fixin's :redface: Kinda nice starting to be "the place" for breakfast :lol:
Can't seem to please the Judges, but pleasing fellow cooks is even better :lol:

I was really proud to see the Brethren walk and also some of our friends who are not Brothers.

Kevin and Clara (HomeBBQ) are well on the way to establishing a dynasty as the dominate team in the SE! They may have to share that status with Jacks Old South, but nothing wrong with that company!
My hat is off to them.

Learned a lot and we will be stronger in the Spring.
Lots of thoughts in my little head, some of which I may share later.

TIM

I agree Dave, very well run. And congrats on the walk!

I actually saw Sledneck (t shirt gave him away), but couldn't say hi at the moment. I was changing clothes in my truck when he walked by. :lol:
