A toast to you Dave:
"Here's to a Master Judge who is respected and honored by both cooks and judges. A feat rarely accomplished."
Congratulations on all of your efforts! Most of us in Iowa and Missouri know how much you travel and how seriously you take your responsibilities, but for those of you who don't know, Dave travels far and wide and is very committed to the judging process. He should be the poster boy for BBQ judges. He also comes around on Friday night and visits the teams and brings homeade smoked cheese that is awesome.
If Mike Lake can't make it to a judges class, they should call you to teach it. :becky:
