The word is just out that Key Largo,Fl is a definite go,after the hurricane.

This first time contest has the state championship proclamation and already enough teams to be a qualifier.

Nov. 4-5, 2005: The Great Key Largo BBQ Championship
Key Largo, FL

There might be a couple of spaces left,if you move quick.

This also is a great chance for our southern neighbors to visit a cookoff.

There will be at least a couple teams of pelletheads to show off the FEC s.

Our old friend drbbq will also be there cooking the contest with his FEC,signing copies of his hit book,and demoing the Big Green Egg, we were discussing last week.

This is the southernmost sanctioned cook ever in Fl,as far as I know.

As always,Friday is a good day to visit teams and look at equipment.

Here is info just in from Ribdog,for any of ya'll thinking about coming down for the cookoff.

Make sure you plan on going to the Island Jubliee Cookoff on Thursday night. The chamber told me that anyone on the BBQ competition teams are invited to the Cookoff as VIP guests at no charge. Here is a little blurb that they emailed me:

"Also info on the Island Jubilee Cook-off:


Thousands of people are starting the countdown for one Key Largo�s favorite culinary events, the 24th annual Island Jubilee Cook Off, sponsored by the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce.


The cook-off � set for Thursday, Nov. 3 at the Key Largo Sheraton Beach Resort � features four divisions: professional haute cuisine, professional just good cookin�, amateur and junior (younger than 16).


�The cook-off is always an awesome event,� said Jim Boilini, cook-off chairman. �The time and talent given to preparation is nothing less than terrific. It is a fun event for everyone and really fun if you win because the competition is so keen.�


Last year, more than 140 individuals and restaurants entered the cook-off.


Trophies and prizes are awarded in each of the categories, including soups and chowders, salads and side dishes, appetizers, entrees and desserts.


Judging starts at 6 p.m. and is open to the public, at $10 per person, after for delicious sampling of the entries.


For more information, call Jim Boilini, chairman, at 305/451-1481 or 305/451-2660; or Jane Van Fleet at the Key Largo Chamber of Commerce, 305/451-1414."

See you there.
