Here's a few shots of the competitors areas:
 
Were you able to pick up some tips? When I went to the Jersey Championship last year there were a lot of "vendors" selling their product. Most places offered a 3 rib section of you wanted to go around just sampling. It was cool that you got to walk around the competitor tents and watch them plating and all that.
 
I didn't really talk too much to any of them and unfrotunately, no samples... they were way busy getting ready to plate and I didn't want to get in the way. Timing is everything, and I timed it poorly. I did get some good ideas however...

We had lunch in the food vendor area... pretty disappointing IMHO. My wife patted me on the back and said my Q was much better...
