| Just a few weeks after earning a 7th place overall at the American Royal Invitational, the Dizzy Pig team capped off a great year with an 8th place finish in the World Championships! Our 5th straight year at "The Jack" was our best finish ever. Not only did we cook some excellent food, but we learned a bit more about how consistent we have been this year. Plus, everyone was there for our team, and we again proved that we can have a really, really good time AND cook. Here is a quick example of us having a good time (click me). Big congratulations to Kelly and the Four Legs Up BBQ team with a well deserved Grand Championship! |

Sully not only filled the air with loud BARBECUE calls all weekend, here he fills "the magic cooler". |
