[chefrob]

I haven't tried chuckies chefrob, that's next on the menu!

you know the saying...........

"once you've tried chuckies.....you'll forget all the other f.........um, sorry this is a family site.

LOL meateater! I'd say it's my hiney, but I don't think there's such a thing as a 437 pound brisket! It's the gravity defying brisket! No, wait, it's the bigfoot brisket! Or, is it the lochness brisket! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a SQUIRREL!

C'mon Cheryl,

This looks like it's gonna end up at Squirrelzilla again!!!

But while you're here, maybe you can help me by telling me what part of a woman is a "Yet"?

The other day, I read that a woman was accidentally shot with a bow & arrow.

They said the arrow was still in her yet. 

Bear

BTW: I can't wait to see all the Briskets!

 

[squirrel]

Well I sure hope I never get shot in my "Yet" with a bow and arrow! That could smart a tad. And I always heard if ya touch it you'll go blind.

Chuckie, chuckie bo buckie, banana fanna... never mind. I'm gonna get disqualified before I even become qualified.

Lug! That's funny, I haven't choked on a nut in a while

I would be more than happy to give you some tips on presentation (I kinda do stuff like that for a living) just shoot me a PM, I may sit this one out, not sure yet though. I can give you tips on lighting, camera setting, and plating.

 

[squirrel]

I would like to say that I really did not mean for the above post to come off as cocky, it just so happens that I do food pics for a living so I don't think I should enter these throwdowns, well, because it's all about the pics when it boils down to it. For goodness sakes, if it were about taste I probably wouldn't make it to the finals! I mean, yea, I do cook the food and I am a creative person, but I do have an advantage when it comes to the plating and photos. That's all. Maybe I should apply for a Judge position instead. LOL!

don't kid yerself.........i have 25+ yrs in the industry and it's no walk in the park for me. I also have been known to take a few shots here and there but it isn't always the prettiest pic that wins........the judges know a thing or two ('cept when i score less than 65!

) and usually get it right. don't forget, there are some on this board who can throw it down pretty damn good!

 

[squirrel]

Chefrob, I was in no way trying to insult anyone, only saying that a nice picture can help a person out. That's all. I certainly don't "kid myself" when it comes to any of this, nor do I take it lightly. I'm just saying that I have been doing food pics for many years and have had to take photos of stuff that I wouldn't eat and make it look beautiful. I agree that there are many, many who can throw down "pretty damn good". Including you sir. So, please accept my apologies if I came off snotty, as that was not my intention.

 

[squirrel]

One last thing Chefrob, my comment about applying for a Judge postion was a JOKE! I stated that as a joke, because I do that sorta thing, not thinking everyone would take it literally. I have absolutely NO qualifications for such a position. Just for the record.

 

[bmudd14474]

I just like to see them all weather they are pretty or not.

 

[squirrel]

I agree bmudd, ya gotta look at the content and read the description.

 

[Bearcarver]

Cheryl,

You certainly don't seem cocky or snotty to me!

Just a character that is a lot of fun, makes some fancy unusual stuff that is good for us to learn, takes great pics, and is a little whacky to boot!

Don't change,

Bear

 Don't kid yourself, I ain't no Bobby flay. I've Flubbed a few and I ran a bbq joint years ago.

i will not accept your apology.............................cuz none is warranted! i didn't see where you were out of line..............the point i was trying to make was everyone should enter no matter what thier skill level is. these are anyone's to win or loose and if someone who is new to the game is on the fence............don't be! jump in and get dirty! some of these throwdows will most likely encourage some of us who are new to smoking (that would be me) to try new things that we just might not normally do.

 I would like to say that I really did not mean for the above post to come off as cocky,

 at first i thought this post was going to be about......................

 Lug! That's funny, I haven't choked on a nut in a while

 

[sumosmoke]

Two more weekends in the month, folks. Get those briskets smoked and enter the August contest! Two great prizes are up for grabs!

 

[meateater]

Bump for brisket!

 

[caveman]

Smokin' some brisket today! I must admit, this really is a challenge, because I'm not a big fan of brisket. I have tried it at some of the best brisket places out there, but just don't really like that much. I'm more of a pork kinda gal when it comes to smoking. BUT - just because I don't like it doesn't mean my heart's not in it!

Those are the famous last words heard before someone enters a contest & kicks everyone's butt in it..............

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!  Give it a shot Lug.  The only thing that can go wrong is that you don't get to eat your entry. 
 

 

[meateater]

BUMP!

 

[sumosmoke]

Time for another bump!!
