Memphis in May

Memphis in May - Memphis, TN












We enter the Mother of all BBQ Competitions, where the visitors are hungry and pigs are scared. Oh boy! this is going to be good! Pork is King!

As we walk amid the smoke and spice we can only imagine the goodness of the tasty swine slowly cooking beyond the barriers of each smoky encampment.




There was a tasting tent but I guess we missed out on that. For the most part tasting is primarily enjoyed by the Judges, Sponsors and Crew. However we were invited into a couple of the claims for some liquid refreshment, these folks are mighty friendly round these parts.

And the Winner is!














The Grand Championship went to the Pork Shoulder entry of the "Sweet Swine O' Mine" team from Memphis, TN.

First Place - Ribs went to "Baby Back Griller Allstars" of Southaven, TN
First Place - Whole Hog going to "Party Que" of Batesville, AK.

A great trip at a great time in the land 'o the pig.
