23 teams
Several Brethren getting to walk.
Congrats to Skip and family for getting the Grand Champion award.
Congrats to Team Q on their 5th place finish.
Congrats to BellyBro and BBII for their walks in chicken (9th) and ribs (7th).
Judges didn't like my pork (16th) and brisket (17th) this time.....
I'm still trying to justify the judges marks, but I can't.......worst scoring I've ever seen, no consistancy. No way our presentations were worthy of 5s and 6s....you guys have seen pictures of our turn in boxes and made comments that they were some of the best you've ever seen....The brisket taste was right on, tenderness was close, pork was a sure top 10, in my books.
The Bellys did a great job.......Myself, I expected better from, and personally, I think it was there....Ol' Mr. Kick just didn't pull his weight in this one....
Again, congrats to all that got to walk......
