Hey all, Since I have been on a roll
organizing things these past few weeks I figure why stop now. I am thinking
I would like to do my annual backyard warm-up event on March 22nd. This hits
just a bit before all the contests and hopefully the start of some good
weather. If you are not familiar with this event let me provide you with a
brief description. I bring 6-8 teams together at my place to cook chicken,
ribs and a mystery meat. CBJ's do an "open" judging commenting on each
entry. The winners in each entry won some recycled bowling trophies last
year (hey, so I'm cheap). This was followed by a sit down dinner with family
and friends and of course live acoustic music. Great stories and lies were
told around the camp fire. Also, for those that travel far you are welcome
to camp out in my yard.

Gilroy Rock n' Ribs
Competition BBQ Cook-Off
June 20-21, 2008
See comments from attendees !!!
<
Documented Gilroy Sound-Bites submitted by Ric Gilbert >
This is the second annual event (3rd if you include the Great Gilroy Gobbler
Gathering), taking place in downtown Gilroy. This is a full blown
competition but there is a twist: Contestants will be cooking only ribs,
chicken, tri tip, and a mystery meat to be announced (and I think) provided
by the event coordinators.
You may cook on any equipment you like, including gas burners, pellet
poopers, stick burners, or even blow torches - all are welcome, but
microwave users will be scorned, mocked, and ridiculed. Please see the rules
section for complete rule disclosure.
General Information:
What: BBQ Competition and charity fund raiser
Where: Gilroy Ca. on Main Street
When: Saturday, June 21, 2008
What meats: Chicken, ribs and a mystery meat (to be provided)
Entry fee: $100
Venders Fee: $75 Only 6 spots available and going fast!
