Cooked this cookoff up until 2007. Several things learned over the years are
1. DO NOT FEED the homeless unless you want a riot
2. DO NOT feed the rats which run around at night, this includes sleeping on the ground.
3. Kiss the pig, did so in 2007 and took RGC to Dales GC
4. Don't set up on the open end of the street as pits do wonderful things in the wind coming off the sound, to include flying. Also, place your name on your canopy so that when it's found, it can be returned
5. Try the donut holes just down from the flying fish market (to the left of the pig. Best in the world
6. Try the blueberry tea at Anthony's
7. Good beer in the market pub
8. If still there, World Class Chili, is great but Joe, God Rest his soul, passed last year and it may not be open now. He always asked, when you ordered your chili, Mild, Hot, or do you want to meet Jesus
9. Make friends with security as they have the keys to the restrooms (the clean ones, not the public ones on the lower level.
