Well,that's nice to hear,and we'll pass it on to Tommy.They are always pleasant and helpful to others.
They run a large scale vending operation ,at the same event they compete in{Todd can tell you what managing the 30 extra hired hands for four days and dealing with all the local inspection depts. can do for your blood pressure ]
Often,it is a requirement of the organizer to do both-so they make double money. They are also running their cater and restaurants by cell phone.
Todd is one of the few of us that can appreciate this splitting your focus-successfully.
At large regional cookoffs,there is extra consideration/money given to the cooks from that region,that have the higher placements.
Tommy, usually, wins the top placing team from the Carolinas.[Tough ,when the other teams aren't feeding a few thousand]
These contests will draw top comp teams from half the country.
Also good,to see Todd up and kickin'.
