My First competition results

[restless hog]

Well, my first competition has come and gone. It was an amateur comp not far from my house at the KY State BBQ Festival in Danville, KY. Ribs only. While I hated everything about my ribs, color, taste, etc. I did end up taking 3rd place. I was totally shocked. I was pretty discouraged going to the awards. When they called my name, I just sat there. My wife hit me and said, "that's you!" I was 2.5 points out of first. I had a great time, met some great folks, and ate some great ribs. Can't wait to do another comp soon.

Just goes to show that what we consider great Q is not what the judges look for.

That's great news. I'm my own worst critic too, so having someone else think your food was better than you were thinking is always a nice surprise. I can't wait to find one here in San Diego I can go to and test my skills out.
