Looks like an east coast bias to me. :roll:
There are few that have not made the list like a little cook down in Houston.

There are a number that could go to list, but I have not been to all of then on the list, Hell they be right.

The American Royal is rated too low. That's a little "nowhere near a coast" bias for ya! :wink:

Yep. HLSR cookoff is #4.

Anybody going to that one?

If you were there for all the days last year, you would have been with 180,000 of your closest friends.
