On an unrelated note, I posted this on another thread:
On Saturday, my wife and I went down to Summerville, SC to become South Carolina Barbeque Association judges. After we judge four supervised judging events, we'll be "certified" judges.
I used to judge in KC somewhat frequently, so it's nothing new to me. Mrs. FMB! is new to the circuit.
Decent Q at the event, but nothing special. Out of curiosity, I really focused and judged the catered barbecue as I would normally... rated it at 13.8 on a 17-point scale, which is just above average.
Supposedly, the guy that catered is the two-time Grand champ of the Carolina Cup (a competition of first-place winners of the 50 or so competitions, so a best of the best type of thing).
This guy that gave us decent, but not great, barbecue that I rated at just above average is the best South Carolina has to offer.
I may start cooking here. Need to find a team.
