From what I've seen and read of this in the past, it looks like it would be fun to experience. Although I only see TX and NV representing the western half of the country. Possibly missing out on some of the various BBQ flavor profiles and techniques. Anyone know if that's due to no invite or lack of response from potential representatives from those areas?

Do any of those representatives us UDS's? I'd love to see some smokin barrels lined up in NYC.

It is a cool event to experience at least once. Key is to have a plan of attack - a team of eaters arrive really early to work the lines together and coverge with all the goods. Then after it's over, head over to RUB for more BBQ right up the block.

I worked with Chris and Big Bob Gibson team at the '07 event but could not make it last year. A lot of work but a lot of fun.

Definitely no UDS's... need tons of capacity as there are thousands of patrons over the two days.

Don't know about invites or lack of responses but I do know there is a relative lack of space..
The pitmasters are literally lined up along two NYC blocks that perimeter a park. Cooking in the park is really not an option.
