Sorry, I was just too exhausted to do a post yesterday.
Sea bass, our entry in the seafood ancillary.
Brisket
I tried to kiss Randi a few seconds after this photo was taken. That didn’t go very well.
Our second-place Best Booth trophy.
Flip cup on the judging table
Larry and Linda
Here are the winners. I don’t yet know how my team finished but I should find out today.
Sad to see Squeal Street BBQ didn’t make the top 3. We joke around with those guys a lot but they are very much our sibling team and we want them to do well. They have taught us a lot over the years.
About 8 last night I walked out of the booth and headed north to meet my friends at Silly Goose. As I walked past the rib teams, I spotted a brunette who I have a bit of a crush on. She was doing stuff on her phone so I didn’t stop and chat, but I looked around and thought to myself, “She has a really awesome group of friends. I wish I knew them.”
As I walked past more rib booths, I thought, “There’s really no more reliable way to gauge how awesome a person is than by looking at who their friends are.”
Then I got out my phone and pulled up this photo, taken by one of my teammates right after judging:
And I smiled. These are the people I have the privilege to hang out with on a regular basis. Every last one of these people is awesome.
I guess I must be pretty awesome too.
This has been BBQ Fest 2015.
