Who's gonna win KCBS TOY

DMDon · 12-02-2009, 12:38 AM

While I have GREAT respect for for Pellet Envy and ISS, I'm going to have to go with Iowa Smokey D's. My friendship with Darren goes back 25 years, since we were both freshman in college. At that time he fancied himself as a stud golfer. I know this year he even took a weekend off for his daughter's senior year homecoming.

Whoever wins, will have really earned it. Any chances there could be a tie with 2 or more teams?
Who do you think will win it?

AzQer · 12-02-2009, 07:26 AM

Im not sure who will win but Im sure glad I will be there should be an awesome comp. for sure

BBQ_Mayor · 12-02-2009, 07:32 AM

It sure is fun watching and awaiting the BBQ battle these top teams have between them. Both are well desevered of the TOY but if I have to chose, I'd go with Iowas Smokey D's. Home town favorite, Iowa BBQ society member, mentor and friend.

Good luck Darren.

I will try to post videos from the contest on my site
There should be 3G in Tempe

I know Rod and Darren and have the utmost respect for both of them and am proud to call them friends. I hate to have to choose one. The race has been exciting, but Darren sure has a knack for flying into a contest, picking meat up on the way there, and winning while cooking on borrowed cookers. For that I would give him the edge.

Scottie · 12-02-2009, 08:18 AM

One of my good friends will win it. I can guarantee you that!!!! ;)

I would find it funny if Clone wins TOY, but he can't do it in Iowa!!!!

Ron_L · 12-02-2009, 08:19 AM

All three are great cooks and any of them would deserve the win. If forced to choose I guess I would pick Iowa Smokey D's. That way I can say that we were beat by the TOY champ at Shannon this year

Jorge · 12-02-2009, 08:36 AM

I'm not sure that I can pick just one. Whoever it is, will be deserving! Best of luck to everyone competing!

Is that a jab?

That will get him all fired up. What kills him in the Iowa contests is, he trys to do too much at the same time. Its not uncommon for him to make 2 or more trips from Des Moines to the contest and back, while vending, catering and competing all at the same time. Good thing Sherry is really the brains, I'll bet she could hold her own, if she did a comp without him.

KC_Bobby · 12-02-2009, 08:42 AM

What's the count on teams? Is it enough for Steve to make the trip?

32 confirmed, with several more expected. Steve needs 33 I believe...but he's listed as confirmed for the contest.

Well being an upeaster here I will throw my vote to ISS!!!. I have heard a lot of good things about Rod and Darren and look forward to meeting them some day. Steve and company, however, are quite familiar to me and are great people one and all. I'm crossing my fingers for them and wish them all the luck I can muster.

ique · 12-02-2009, 09:13 AM

It will come down to a Brisket call

Good luck Steve, Rod, Darren

Alexa RnQ · 12-02-2009, 09:23 AM

I'm just happy to have a front-row seat to watch it all go down in real time.

Good luck to all!

musicmanryann · 12-02-2009, 09:26 AM

What if they all three tied for the GC and it came down to a coin flip? That would be interesting...

Good luck to all three! I wouldn't be comfortable putting money down on any of them.
