    KCBC - Worth the membership?

    Morning all, Like the title says, I've been looking into the KCBC and am contemplating joining. I am by far in no place to be competing yet - but hopefully one day. Is it more for those competing, or is it still a good value for the average backyard BBQ enthusiast?

    Headed to Texas

    So work is sending me to the Arlington / Dallas Area of Texas in 2 weeks. Any good recommendations as to a good BBQ place? Work is reimbursing for meals, but I still don't want to break my bank lol Staying at a Hotel on I20 in Arlington if that helps with the choices.
