Time to get to work. This morning I will check with my teammates and find out how the cooks&#8217; meeting for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestmemphisburgerfest.com\">Best Memphis Burger Fest<\/a> went. I am getting so excited for this Saturday. Our burger game has never been tighter. Our Veggie Burger was ready to go by the end of our first cooking practice. In late September we turned down an invitation to piddle around in a parking lot with a few other teams, in favor of getting a third practice in, and plans for Classic Cheeseburger and Anything Goes came together nicely. Note that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bestmemphisburgerfest.com\/2017-burger-fest-rules\/\">turn-in times have been adjusted<\/a> to accommodate the addition of the steak competition. If you want to watch us cook a particular burger, I recommend showing up about 45 minutes before turn-in time. So, for example, turn-in for Classic Cheeseburger is 1:25-1:35, so we&#8217;ll probably start on that one around 12:40. I can&#8217;t promise we&#8217;ll have extras of our competition burgers to hand out, but we will be cooking regular burgers (maybe dressed up a bit because after all we are a BBQ team) for the public to sample. Be sure to bring a donation for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphispaws.org\/\">Memphis Paws<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Okay this is weird&#8230; part of the steak cookoff is a hot dog cooking contest&#8230; WTF? I mean, nothing against hot dogs but it seems weird that they&#8217;d be part of a steak competition. Wonder if it&#8217;s too late for Weekend at Porky&#8217;s to throw their hat in the ring&#8230; they could bring the George Foreman for the steak and Rahul &amp; Tony&#8217;s Special Sauce for the hot dogs.<\/p>\n<p>Possibly back at lunchtime with another post&#8230; got a couple more news items in the queue already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wet Willie&#8217;s is having Koozies for Boobies in October.
