Ottumwa Iowa?

Buster Dog BBQ · 02-24-2010, 05:44 PM

I know it's on KCBS calendar but has anyone heard anything about this contest for this year?

Smokin' Joe · 02-24-2010, 06:42 PM

Yes...I got a letter this monthfrom them about them looking forward to seeing us again, etc, etc. I'm pretty sure they had a app enclosed as well but I can't seem to locate it (imagine that)

Smokin' Joe · 02-24-2010, 06:44 PM

Here is a link to the website, looks like it has updated info
http://www.bridgeviewcenter.com/inde...article&id=143

FWIW, we cooked this last year and I thought it was a very well run event especially for the first year (except the judges clearly didn't know what good Q tasted like

, kidding of course...I bet you can guess how I did

). The tried really hard to keep the cooks happy, free ice, lots of volunteers, etc

Buster Dog BBQ · 02-24-2010, 06:51 PM

Thanks, Joe. I Googled it and ended up at a different site from last year.

Buster Dog BBQ · 02-24-2010, 06:54 PM

Just looked at it. $250 is pretty steep if they still only pay the top 5. I guess you gotta cover the buffet. Wish they had payouts on the site.

Smokin' Joe · 02-24-2010, 06:58 PM

yep, that was the big complaint last year as well...entry fee is a little steep for the payout and location. If you need power and a big space its probably in line with most as they are included

How about $150 for the backyard contest and all you cook is ribs. Day-ham!

Thursday night Moe.Get your grub on!
I whined to them last year about the price. Their response was that they had high payouts...Like I would know what those are...

Ponderosa BBQ · 02-25-2010, 12:05 AM

oh i will be there then on thurs for some eats and drinks.

Buster Dog BBQ · 02-25-2010, 07:07 AM

From what I understood of the buffet Moe is it was Thursday night and it was seafood including jumbo shrimp and lobster, many other good buffet items and an open bar. Now, some of that may not be 100% accurate as I was hearing 3rd hand on that.

Mike, I talked to them in Marshalltown and told them the price wasn't that great and Bobby and I told them to lower the price and skip the buffet since it was Thursday night as not all teams are able to come out then.

I was thinking of doing this one just to meet Radar....

Scottie · 02-25-2010, 09:04 AM

Hmmmmmm. I just can't figure it out, about going to this one or going to PoorQue and get me some of that $70 total purse.... Decisions decisions.
