That sums it all up well....when my brother was here, he decided eggheads treat grilling as a sport; maybe we should petition the Olympic committee.

Olympic Committee my foot.....I posted on 6/29 about having a local Lake Martin Barbecue contest. There was not one reply to the post. Are the LM Eggheads afraid of a little friendly competition??????

Them sounds like in your face throw-down / call out / fighting words for sure!!!
I will be a judge - LOL.

No fightin' needed. The truth is, the sport of grilling is very subjective. I think a better idea would be a "flavor, texture, and technique" comparison event. I've tasted both ribs and chili that have won "cook-off" events that wouldn't get a second helping request at our table....not to say they were bad, they just didn't do it for us; different strokes. I've grilled and smoked on many devices over the years, and most decent products will provide good results with a competent chef. However, for MY taste, even the best chef can not compete grilling ribs or chicken if using a gas grill.....that's because I place a heavy emphasis on the quality of the smokey flavor (they also need to remain moist with good body while being fall-off-the-bone tender). I've seen very good results from both electric and gas smokers, but again it's a different flavor than cooking with coal.
I am always looking for new techniques, so a cooking "meet and greet" would be a fun event. I'm certainly not afraid to be judged, but there will be different opinions and I'm sure everyone would learn something. I've been grilling 3-4 times a week for over 30 years, and I'm always learning something new (same goes for my flying, LOL)

Ok now. So just how do we setup this progressive food sampling for an afternoon on the lake? Do we start out with some conecuh (or other) sausage and appetizers, move to grilled burgers and tenderloins and finish up with smoked ribs, butts and brisketts?
Anyone want to have a little meeting to figure out how to accomplish this event?
|
I should have come over to the lake today. I had a day of between trips, but stayed in GA thinking I had stuff to do (but I'm bored). Lets do something next week and we can discuss ideas for an event; we will be back Wednesday.

You set up the meeting and the wife and I will be there. We're at the lake almost every weekend. We're certified judges in both Memphis In May and Kansas City. We can help set up the rules as far as the judging is concerned.
