Had a blast at Norco (at least, after 1:31pm on Saturday). I thought ribs were our best category - until award time... they were 72 out of 75 teams with a 151.9772 - those dang judges, can't stand 'em :-D
It was great seeing so many Brethren do well, just check out their representation in the Top 10 overall:
Benny Aduato - FunTime BBQ (3rd overall, 700 pin, 2nd ribs, 7th brisket)
Thom Emery - What Wood Jesus Que (4th overall, 2nd pork, ancillary people's choice vote as the coolest man in BBQ)
Steve Aguilar - Vicious Smoke/ViciousGame (5th overall, 10th chicken, 7th ribs, 8th pork)
Sterling Ball - Big Poppa Smokers (6th overall, 2nd chicken)
Sterling Smith - Loot n' Booty/Smitty250 (8th overall, 8th ribs)
Congrats to all who walked (nice seeing you up there Bigmista - great chicken call!)
Annella, you were so fantastic all weekend, I can't say it enough !!
