I was having a conversation with a guy today that will be vending at a local festival next weekend that I will be vending at. He asked me what I was going to be selling so I told him Pulled Pork and brisket. He says with a straight face I'm doing bbq also. I said that awsome what kind of smoker are you using? he says, I don't have a smoker I am putting it in a crock pot and adding my seasoning that makes it taste like it was cooked out doors!:tsk: :crazy:
Needless to say I had to get away from him before I laughed at him.

REALLY!!!

Come on MAN!!
 
There are 2 types, those who are in the know and then there are the rest.
I applaud your self control, now show him how it's done!
Best of luck
 
He's a lazy fraud. There's a lot of that going around nowadays. The last time I ate at a catered BBQ event I threw the plate in the trash. I couldn't eat the slop. Poorly electric cooker cooked "BBQ" with zero smoke very poorly and only slightly reheated with propane on site, canned beans, Costco cookies, and Giant food cole slaw. It was an abomination.

There should be a law against that stuff.

I agree, or at least a diclaimer.. This is not actual BBQ food..

LOL


Yes he's a fraud, but as long as the consumer continues to support (buy) his crap, he will remain in business.

rgrizzle, keep them smokers going so the customers can smell the goodness of your product.

It's your duty to let others know his product isn't BBQ.

Yikes....
 
I didn't have the heart to tell him he is trying to compete against McDonalds' Mc Rib sandwhich which is nothing but faux-Q. I did tell him to come over and see me if he wants some real BBQ that's done right.
 
You're all posers. Here's the real deal...

A photo of the line in front of your stand vs his would be nice. I'm sure if you have something producing smoke that people will know which line to stand in.
 
Here's the problem, he'll sell cheaper than you can and the people will like it because it is cheap. Most people don't have a clue about BBQ but those that do will flock to your place, hopefully they won't have tried his first because they will be afraid of what they will get from you and they will have spent all their money. Make sure the people know and see your smoker, toss in some onions on the fire to get the smell and you should be ok. You have to get to the people before he does.
 
Might be a good idea to have a sign with words like "authentic", "smoked", "real", etc. on it.
