I got back from the food show Monday night! What a great experience it was!!
We set up our booth on Thursday night, it should have been much earlier in the day but tire troubles slowed us down. Friday started out with the awards brunch for the Americas Best Professional Food Competition. The food at the brunch was great! We waited until they got to the BBQ rub category. When they finally did they announced that D-dog’s BBQ Maple rub had won second place! I was so excited and I went up to have my picture taken and accept my ribbon. While I was standing there getting my picture taken they announced that D-dog’s BBQ Original rub had won first place! I was stunned! I grabbed my trophy and had more pictures taken. I was so happy!
After the food competition we went over and put the final touches on our booth. Then we spent the next three days talking with people about BBQ and selling lots of D-dog’s BBQ rubs! We met a lot of great people. We also had several of the food network stars come through our booth and try our rubs. The Dean brothers really liked my rubs! We talked with them about BBQ for a while. They are great guys!
We had a lot of fun and made some great contacts! I can’t wait until the next one!
