I'm going to check it out. I need a rib fix!

Wish I could go. We do have a great rib place here. Think I'll get some this weekend. It is not a chain and is open only on Saturdays. A little shack with a great big smoker outside. No eat in, you have to take it away.

You may be able to find cookoffs in Florida. If there are BBQ cookoffs in Massachusetts, they must also have them in Florida.

I think I'll be able to visit 2 or 3 this season, along with a chili cookoff if I'm lucky.

andy, is the motto of the contest "eat free or die"????????

Bucky:

I guess they're not that passionate about BBQ. It's not a very big spread. Their website indicates 10 competitors and some local restaurants. But, it's something I can get to in about 30 minutes or less.

Most rib fests are geared more to vending/selling ribs to the public than competing. That is why there usually aren't very many teams. The more people selling, the more it will cut into everyone's profit.

Rainee:

Thanks for posting all the events. I wish there were more in the New England area.

 

[Raine]

They are working on it.

Know of any in So. Cal?
I think there should be tri tip cookoffs here!

 

[Raine]

They probably have an extra category for tri-tip.
