I have a new use for my paella pan thanks for sharing:drool

it comes in real handy during comps and especially at the end of the day. but i have to admit , there is usually someone else sitting there watching me work.

Had  a Great time and met some great people. One thing I learned is that I need to take a class on what The judges look for. At this particular cookout we were allowed to deep fry, so I did some of my signature ribs. where I slow smoke the for a few hours, and finish them with a light dusting of...

IT OUGHT TO BE FUN, AND I'M SURE I'LL LEARN A LOT
