BBQ competition on TV is back and this one is looking really good. Myron, Tuffy, Bubba-Q from Georgia, and Neal Strawder from California were cooking and me, Chris Lilly, and Mike Lake we're judging. Look for it in may on CBS. Lot's more to come.

Next,Saw you on local TV eating turkey at Big Bob Gibson's last week. What a job!

This last is one of drbbq's many visits on the Food Channel.This one on "Greatest Thing I Ever Ate"

Those of ya'll from the comp circuits and dining in north Al know Chris and the great turkey and wonderful pies at Big Bob Gibson's.

I watched it, but was kind of disappointed (maybe it's because I don't know much about BBQ competitions). Why were the contestants only given 4 hrs? Speed BBQ? Isn't "low and slow" the way to go?

Is this normal for competitions?

No. KCBS contestants can begin cooking once the meat is inspected...usually Friday afternoon. Then it's up to the cooks to determine when to start cooking.

I rolled my eyes at the 4 hr time limit, too. How Brad Orison had his ribs done on time, given his pit issues had me scratching my head.

TV producers just can't seem to get BBQ right, albeit this is Best in Smoke.

At experienced contests,with plenty of KCBS help,we are often inspected by late morning.They will graciously hold the window open for late arriving teams-as late as needed.

A few cooks could arrive at 6 AM Friday. Eeker

Many teams have all the entries trimmed at home,or Thurs evening-if they arrive that early.

Of course,no meat prep is allowed until after inspections.

Discussions indicate this "series" will be the closest to actual comp cooking,but we all know there will have to be some "drama" to interest "real housewives" watchers. Big Grin
