Houston Livestock Rodeo BBQ contest, 2/26 - 2/27

[ZILLA]

Have a Winston Churchill Marrakesh & Gentleman Jack and that will go a long way to smoothing thing over between us :biggrin:

Dr. BBQ hope to have a drink or two with you also

OK, brother! I'll see if'n I can rustle up a special stogie for us. :wink:

 

[gilbo]

So, got an invite from a team to join them and compete and cook a couple of categories.

HLSR has been one of those contest I think a lot of us want to do (MIM, Jack, Royal, etc).

So, anyone who's competed, any advice? I've got a lot of info, but I'm looking more for competition help/advice. The whole process as far as differences, tagging, etc.

Appreciate any help. I'll post photos during the contest.

[Smokin J]

Great time!

Man, this is a gret event! I flew in from NY yesterday morning, out of a snow storm, and I'm so glad to be here. I was partying at the "Brisket Cases" tent last night, and will be there all day & night tonight. Great food, music & people! I will be on the look out for Brethren. I would love to have a drink with you guys!

Good luck to all competing!

OK so who won???

 

[ZILLA]

Grillin & Drillin were the winners. I don't know these folks.

Ronny Wade was the chief cook for "hill country" the "official" name of the winner.

Someone on that team was discussing the whole idea of inviting me, but I didn't go that route anyway for other reasons.

:shock: I'm confused.
I think you have posted some incorrect information in this entire thread.

Grillin' and Drillin' was GC. They are a cooperate team and I have not heard the name of their chief cook.

We made finals which means they came by for a second sample.
Only 24 entries make the finals, (the top 8 ribs, 8 briskets and 8 chickens)
and only the top 3 in each catagorie are recognized at awards.
We had 4th rib and came in 7th overall.

 

[Jeff Hughes]

7th is great out of that crowd any day...

What Okie comps are you all doin' this year?

You should add Bixby, then just stay for Claremore the next week. Stay down at Darcy's and hang by the lake...

Not trying to be confusing, the other team that invited me gave me some bad info.

Either way, we didn't win but we had a good time.

 

[Saulnier]

We spent about $1200.00 overall and that was with a free space and only serving a few folks. :shock:

That Jack & diet was appreciated! You and the Jellyman made me a happy camper.

In all seriousness... The hospitality was appreciated. You and Craig did it right!
