Not looking good for Guitarbeque...I will post to let you know as the merger isnt going well and they may cut all events in Asbury Park for a year! Will know for sure next week sometime. If it is cut we are planning on moving it inland to a different site in 2008.

Thanks, Arlie

Sorry to hear that and I am sure you will keep us all posted.
Good luck and hope it all shakes out for the better.

Wow, this is a big time bummer! I was really looking forward to Guitarbecue.

Damn! We had a great time there last year and was sure looking to go again this year.

Figures one of the few i planned on cooking and it might be gone anybody know what is the alternate? Edit just checked KCBS weekend before is Lake Placid weekend after is wildwood nj, depending on schedule i am leaning towards Lake Placid. I would much rather drive to asbury than lake placid

Q Haven · 04-04-2007, 05:22 AM

Go to Lake Placid. Cooked there last year, it was a great contest. Organizers were very cooker friendly, low entry fees, large prizes, free ice, contest is sited in the Olympic oval where Eric Heiden won his 5 gold medals in 1980, and in the shadow of where the Miracle on Ice took place.

The fact that virtually every team that cooked there last year is returning is a sign that this is a real good time....

I don't know if your a new cook or not but you need to send your entries in as soon as possible. Wildwood is as tough to get in as Harpoon and is full. Lake Placid only has a few spots left and may be full. Last year LP was begging for cooks and I'm sure there will be a wating list soon. I think it was a couple years ago thet Asbury got some guy's off the street to cook to make it a qualifier.

Oh, I've always wanted to meet Eric Heiden!

Looks like a great contest. FYI, I spoke to the Wildwood folks yesterday and they had ONE open slot after returning teams and it went to the first application received after Monday. I should have checked in last week.
