Well, the big A/R event is only a few days away now. After an initial season that saw much more success than any of us thought likely, we are poised to go cook in the World Series of BBQ contests, as a rookie team no less!
For those that aren't familiar with the American Royal BBQ Contest, it is referred to as the World Series of BBQ contests, but it really should be called the Mardi Gras of BBQ contests. It is hybrid event that combines elements of a street fair, a community wide party, a series of BBQ contests, a trade show, a poker tournament, and a tremendous amount of alcohol, all packed into a few small city blocks in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
This year's event is scheduled to be the biggest ever, as this excerpt from a local media source attests.
We think we have everything planned to compete in 13 different events this weekend. The GC in the Hy-Vee contest back in April gained us an invite to not only cook in the big 500+ team contest, but also in the coveted Invitational Contest. So we think we have everything planned to to cook in 13 different events, navigate the logistics of the Royal for the first time as a team, host a party, etc.
