Hi all - I wanted to inform you of my first judging experience. This was at Mason City today.
I wanted to know what the judges see when teams turn in boxes. Boy there were a lot of different boxes.
First was anything butt. we got beans and a dilled fish of some sorts. Both were pretty good.
Chicken - I was amazed at the amount of fruity sauces we had on all the chicken entries. Had one chicken that was breaded?
Ribs - all were good. of coarse some were better than others. Had a mix of loin backs and spares.
pork - a lot of sauce was used on the pulled pork. I mean one I couldn't see a piece of pulled the sauce was so heavy. Most of them had slices.
Brisket - not as many boxes with burnt ends as I would expect. some over done, one cut with the grain, but all in all they all had good flavor.
I'd say this opened my eyes to what is sent to the judges and kind of what the judges look for. I but the people at my table were getting tired of me asking questions about how they would like to see and entry and what would make in great.
If you haven't judged a contest, I would recommend it.
