Roll Call. Inside 30 days. Great Pork BarbeQlossal--Des Moines, IA June 4-6

[musicmanryann]

Exactly....

So did they make sausage out of the knuckle meat? Otherwise, I don't see how that is within the rules. I guess I will inquire with Anne.

 

[Smokin' Joe]

Have fun! And good luck with the loin...

Scottie

Thanks Scottie..gonna need it:lol:

 

[Buster Dog BBQ]

The winners made a gumbo.... If you recall, a few teams didn't think that was right... But they said that sausage was made out of pork... I would think they would have to tighten those rules a little bit...

I'd also make sure you have enough cocktails to drink... Makes it a lot more fun... I got to cook it last year with YankeeBBQ as Hawgeyes Nation... We even had a cheering section... But no cheerleaders, as they never showed up...

Well, I didnt want to say anything. We were right next to them and it said the only protein was to be what they gave you. Oh well. I was more impressed with wonton's from the other Illinois team.

 

[Scottie]

Quau is a machine!! lol. I was too busy watching him... OK maybe I was watching those fine hurricane's that our cheering section was supplying too.

Just go out and have fun is my recommendation, after being involved with 2 of these cook offs.

 

[Butcher BBQ]

How about El Dorado, KS the end of July? That is about half way for both of us. I'm already entered. Wanna team up?

That would be fun, we have a contest were in at Waganer OK. May we can team up some other time.

 

[Caseyjoenz]

Late entry...but Smokin' Caboose BBQ will be there again. Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Steph from TheSlabs.com will be my partner in crime for the Big Green Egg Scramble. I'm recruiting the big guns for this one. Apparently Clone... er... Smokey D, got wind of it and backed out.

 

[KC_Bobby]

Is Shad in it?

 

[musicmanryann]

Is Shad in it?

I don't think so...At least his email wasn't included in the ones that went out. Gracias a Dios!:wink:

 

[Plowboy]

Is Shad in it?

No. Thank gawd!

This was a joke, BTW. Darren, obviously, has no need to fear anyone.

Anybody familiar with the area have a recomendation for a grocery store with good produce?

I also need a liquor store. It's time to contribute to Rev. Randy as well:lol:

The closer to the fairgrounds the better.

There's a drive through liquor store right by the fairgrounds on University Ave just west of the fairgrounds.

Its Last Stop Liquor, and they usually have the Templeton Rye on hand. Guess its not a big seller on the east side.

There is a Hy-Vee East on University as well. We'll be going there for a few things.

 

[KC_Bobby]

Sorry folks, park's closed. The moose out front should have told ya. Word is the place is full and they're turning teams away.

 

[Plowboy]

...a drive through liquor store...

That sounds like a bad idea. :icon_bugeyed

 

[Learnin Querve]

I'll be there to walk around and hopefully meet a few people.

Someone mentioned a couple of spots for provisions near the fairgrounds. There are other, larger grocery stores fairly close by, as well as a few ethnic markets if you need something really special.

If anyone has any questions about where to get what in the immediate area, shoot me a message. I literally live just up the street from the fairgrounds.
