We started our competition barbecue
adventure in 2003 with a trip to Memphis, TN and high hopes of
eating some of the world’s best barbecue at the Memphis In May
Barbecue Contest. We were quick to learn that the teams weren’t there
to feed the public and unless you had an inside connection you
weren’t likely to get to sample the “good stuff”.
 In the spring of 2004 we completed the
Memphis Barbecue
Network (MBN)
Judging requirements and judged our first
MBN contest in
Tunica, MS. After judging
MBN barbecue
contests for almost three years, we longed for something more.
In 2006 we became judges for
Kansas City Barbecue
Society (KCBS)
and also competed in our first KCBS
sanctioned contest as cooks.
 Although
we didn’t
come in last place, we were
close and I had the bitter taste of defeat lingering on my pallet.
It did not matter I was hooked on
competition barbecue.
Since 2006 we’ve competed in about a
dozen KCBS
sanctioned contests, and a few
Illinois BBQ Society
(ILBBQS) and
St. Louis
BBQ Society (SLBS)
events.
16 Top Ten Finishes in
their last
10 contests!
