People's Choice, no matter the size of the prize pool, is a crapshoot at best. Where you are located, where they sell the tickets, how photogenic the people are that are giving out the food all influence the results. Experienced teams know that the teams that win people's choice are almost never the teams that place high in the KCBS events.
Maybe Mike has a secret for people's choice, but we hardly ever do it. In Atlantic City last year we used pork and brisket for peoples choice. There were 66 teams, our pork was 2nd in ?KCBS, our brisket was 1st. We GCd the contest...and people's choice was won by a local team that invited 80 people to a party,all of whom voted for that team. I don't think they finished in the top 20 for KCBS. Having an RV with a generator and a 10x20 tent would seem to be permitting us to death for this one.

Had a good meeting with my non-profit partner in this event, some of the stuff we could help with some it just is that way.
Changes to fees: Registration will now be a flat $400 One 15 amp electrical service will be provided in that Insurance requirement will be covered by Riverfront While the health permit is still a requirement Riverfront will reimburse the permit fee. (This might be able to be a direct pay by Riverfront, still working it). The issue with large tents is a city thing and I have a meeting set up with them to see if there is any type of work around Ice, this is truly the cost. However we are looking around for donations so will see. Hell, worse case I will bring a ton from my restaurants lol. As you can see everything is on the up and up.

Burnside Ice, aka Burnside Brewing, in East Hartford is another possibility. I left a call back number to see if they are willing. Sorry if I stepped on your toes here just trying to help out.

Be sure to tell the city that the tents are used by cook teams and NOT the general public. Our 10x20 tent has *two* people using it. I don't think we require lighted Exit signs and Emergency Power Failure lighting to find our way out of the tent.

Any news on this? The teams that will sign up for this are already making their schedules. Some may be done. Would hate to see this contest lose its draw. This isn't a comp for the two a year folks. With that entry fee you want the big boys and the big boys (and girls) make their schedule as soon as possible.

With the change to a flat fee, and simplification of the permitted makes this sound more attractive. I don't want to put emergency lighting in my open sided tent though. If there are 2 people in a 20 foot tent with no walls, and you can't find the exit without an exit sign - it's nature's way of thinning the herd.
Only other issue: it's the same weekend as the Sam's Club Regional. Now only the top 6 from that will advance, but we won't know if we are in that group until AFTER the weekend of August 8th, and the cutoff for Bear's is July 15. Given that well over half the field in Sam's this year has the chops to advance, I'm sure there are a number of teams taking a wait and see approach here.

I have only done a couple permits so this might be a dumb ? but it seems the meat is not set for PC, but when you fill out the permit online you have to list what you are cooking?
I could not find this on the site, has the prize pool been posted?

I am watching this thread for updates and thinking of doing this comp. I will probably bow out of the Peoples Choice, having a trailer with graphics on the side stating "The Largest NY Jets Fan Club/Tailgate Party" will probably not go over so well in Patriots territory.
