American Royal BBQ
Anyone going to the giant party disguised as a BBQ contest? Might be a little cool this year.
Some big-time competitors, as always. Johnny Trigg. He will be inducted into the BBQ Hall of Fame. http://worldwest.media.clients.ellin...082bf6ded075dc Myron Mixon. http://images.huffingtonpost.com/201...yron_mixon.jpg Chris Lilly of Big Bob Gibson's BBQ: http://static.flickr.com/63/165312013_4dfea10338.jpg And last but not least, Guy Fieri: http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image.../113834323.jpg |
The Royal sucks now. All the parties are "private tents." Like a big clique fest.
It used to be a lot more open and friendly. Now it's a big corporate dick sniff. Pass. |

Hung out a couple of years with the KCBT people and it was fun. That was early 90's though, so it has probably changed.

Most parties are welcoming especially if you're willing to provide a small donation. We hang out with a team and bounce around to others. The whole thing is really an exercise in how ****ed it is to get in an out of the West Bottoms, though.

I've always wanted to go... and saw the episode on BBQ pitmasters.
I def wanna make it out this year, but probably won't because I am a baby making machine. |
I used to go about five or six years ago. We were friends with a team from Waverly, MO. Very nice people. Always had a good time hanging out at their tent. But unless you are an invited guest to a private party, you're basically just a party crasher. So I would say if you've been invited to a private party tent, go for it. If not, be prepared to be treated like a stray dog sniffing around for food.

Johnny Trigg won this season of BBQ Pitmasters, cooking a couple of things he'd never cooked before. The guy is a master.
And the only thing bigger than Mixon's trophy case is his ego... |

The thing I liked best is you could buy BBQ sauces from all over the country for $5 a bottle. Got some great stuff out there that you can't find in stores.

Add to it that some of those guys, especially from the southeast, don't cook beef at all and it's easy to see how that happens. |
