| Most teams ever at this unique contest on Pennsylvania Avenue. Dizzy Pig did not fare as well as last year, but squeaked out a top ten overall finish thanks, mostly, to our 2nd place ribs. We thought we cooked some solid entries, but the judges apparently got some pretty good food from the other teams! Once again our friend were at the top. Congrats to Tuffy and Cool Smoke, and Rod and Sheri of Pellet Envey on their grand and reserve titles. They really put a hammering on the field!! Also, big way to go to Chix Swine and Bovine with first places in pork and brisket, 3rd overall and a nice pay day!! |
