My $.02 on the whole Salisbury contest thing...
Teaming up with Bill has been... well....hmmmmm..... lets just say.... I got some more sleep than usual.
but seriously... Bill is a great team mate and we have a few bugs to work out and I am very happy we teamed up. I can finally go to sleep at night and not worry about things being taken care of.
as far as the contest goes... it was a great contest.. could have been a bit more organized and the toilets could have been closer...
as far as our turn ins go...
I was almost happy with our Anything Butt turn-in... I didn't bring enough broccoli to fill the bottom of the box like I wanted.. I'll take the blame for that one... taste was good.. presentation could have been better, neater, and the wine sauce drizzled better....
Chicken... Bill cooked some Awesome chicken... we got hosed on that one...
Ribs... I was very happy with an 8th place call for my Ribs... sure 1st would have been better.
Pork.... we placed 26th... middle of the pack... typical for me... room for improvement.. I only wish I could figure out where and how to improve.
Brisket.... I think we kinda knew the brisket was a bit dry... Bill and I cook brisket entirely differently... he normally outplaces me... so I can't criticize ... his technique and flavors are totally opposite mine ... but as of now.. brisket is his ball game...
(I'll give him one more shot... then I am taking over)
overall it was a good weekend and a good first time out with the new team.. I am proud to have Bill as my partner................for now
