I am the only one who sees a problem with receiving a comment cars from a judge that say please inject or adjust cooking temp??

Tack · 09-10-2011, 07:33 PM

make that comment cards not cars LOL

tmcmaster · 09-10-2011, 07:36 PM

I think such a thing from a judge is offensive.

PimpSmoke · 09-10-2011, 07:36 PM

Would you rather they just gave you a crap score with no card?

No, but I would rather not have a judge tell me how to cook. If it's rubbery, tell me. If it's dry or under-done, tell me. I'll learn from it and make adjustments...
If a judge tells me I need to inject, that's offensive.

no give me the comment card but don't try to insturct me as to how to cook. Yhe entry was a poor one but it was MY fault not the cooking style or seasoning. I failed to put it on in time

Tack · 09-10-2011, 07:49 PM

If ya don't like the entry thats fine just tell me why. If ya want to teach me to cook find me and mentor me.

PimpSmoke · 09-10-2011, 07:56 PM

Eh, there's gotta be a middle ground. I got a card that on brisket that said "too salty" and that was it. I would have been thrilled if it had said what was too salty, ends, slices, au jus, bark??

Tack · 09-10-2011, 08:08 PM

speaking of salt got another one that said my pork entry needed salt. as you can tell it was a BAD day at the judges table for me

Tack · 09-10-2011, 08:10 PM

I got one on my ribs that saud they were dry too. Now that was TOTAL BS and I got witnesses to that

PimpSmoke · 09-10-2011, 08:15 PM

Those do sound like crappy cards but, at least there is an attempt. I think that a lot of judges may think that they are being helpful instead of just slinging sanitized comments. I guess what I'm saying is, as a cook I would rather see a little more, non offensive descriptive cards than no comment at all.

If something is off tell me, just don't tell me how to cook, I agree with that. I just would hate to see the usefulness of the cards disappear because they are being used other than intended.

I'm not a CBJ and don't have to be to see that you could be looking for fire where there is no smoke. There are so many variables that nothing short of climbing into that judges mouth when they take the bite can guarantee anything.

Hey Pimp see the quote at the bottm of my messages??? That was on a comment card last year at the same comp. See the pattern?

Tack · 09-10-2011, 08:25 PM

Seems the judges are watching a few TV shows and are trying to impress people. Just tell me why ya didn't like it and I'll decide what if any adjustments need to be made. Clearly comment cards are good if used for the intended purpose. I just think that this judge went beyond acceptable limits for the card.
