somebody shut me the fark up.
Yep! T and I took the judging class this past weekend, taught by Ed Roith. I went into it thinking I would learn better as to what the judges are looking for, and came away shaking in my boots and even pissed off at some of the scores these new trainees were giving out. Mr. Roith was quick to tell them that their scores were low, and pointed out how much we spend in doing a contest and how we depend on them being honest with their scores. There was one table of gents that just cut everything down, and at one point T had to pretty much muzzle me as I was about to go off. This was average Q, just the way the cooks were instructed to cook it, average is a 6.....these guys were consistently giving out 4s & 5s, a few 3s even!:evil: I bet every one of these farkers use Matchlight or lighter fluid as they torch their T-bones in their backyards!:roll:
Now,do we cook average Q? I certainly hope not....but I don't have a warm fuzzy about this weekend's scores if these guys show up to judge, and everyone in the class was invited to sign up to judge.
So we have to face the facts, no matter who teaches the class or how well it is taught, there is going to be some judges out there that are only there to eat Q, fill up their coolers, and wreck our day! And they get a badge and a certificate that says they can!:evil:
