He hasn't contributed or cooked better meat than me. I've been cooking on and off for 16 years and most of the contributors on this forum are not on my level at all. I'm certified by cordon bleu and all of this is nothing more than a hobby for me. I don't try to profit from this at all. What I won't tolerate is someone going out of their way to be a smartass. I'm the type of man that if you have a problem with me I will have my secretary set up all traveling expenses free of charge just to prove a point.
So here we are.. If you think your a better cook than me and you specifically have it out to prove that you know more and that you're a better pitmaster... I will have my secretary set everything up to where you don't have to do anything but pack a bag and get to your local airport. yes, I'm that confident. So if anybody here thinks that they can out-cook me let's see who's the best. Until then, STFU
I'm going to go against my better judgment and respond to your over confident cocky tirade.
I've been cooking bbq for over 30 years. Been to the American Royal invitational 9 times, the Jack world championship 3. Placed top 3 in several categories multiple times at these championships. I have collected 16 grand championships and I lost count of reserve grands and top 3 finishes over 15 years of competing. I've cooked side by side with some of the best cooks in the business. Chris Lilly, Ray Lampe, Paul Kirk, Aaron Franklin to name just a few. We've had multiple American Royal grand champions in our ranks as well as Jack winners and TV chefs. ..I've also competed and either lost to or beat them at various contests at one time or another. My trophy table spans 32 feet on 4 8 foot tables that I only use at catering events when the want to see the bling. I'm CIA educated back in the 90s and have awards from multiple culinary federations for contribution to the arts, philanthropy and charity. I was invited by our US Navy to cook for 2000 Sailers on 3 Navy destroyers during memorial data fleet week in NYC. 3 destroyers left the parade of ships to be fed southern style BBQ prepared by members of this forum and they performed flawlessly. Aside from all that, I founded this organization in 2003 and have had some of our best known cooks in the bbq world as membership.
So, with that being said, I would bet that only a handful of our members know this about me because I dont go and attack members based on my accomplishments. Instead I mentor, i teach, and contribute to the art. I dont challenge them and beat my chest.
So I cant help but laugh, giggle, piddle and smdh when I read your little tidbit about how great you are. Its pretty funny in a very sad delivery. And no I'm not getting on a plane to feed you crow. No fun in that.
Reality is youre outgunned and outclassed by many folks silent in this forum.. eat some humble pie dude... it may help you make friends.
