Grand Champion Slap Yo Daddy BBQ
We won our third Grand Championship for 2010 at the Smoking in the Oaks contest in Penn Valley about 1 hour north of Sacramento. We finished 2nd ribs, 2nd pork, 4th chicken, and 6th brisket amid 32 teams in this KCBS sanctioned contest. The trophies were cool metal cutouts of BBQ meat animals, and the GC trophy was a custom-made metal sculpture. Very nice.
I took this opportunity to play with bacon and Jimmy Dean sausage to make a bacon-weave turtle and triceratops with hotdogs, BBQ rub, and sauce. The bacon turtle fatty was dedicated to all the Fathers who were there as Father’s Day is coming up. The turtle lives over 200 years so it symbolized all Fathers living over 200! We shared the fruits of our labor by slicing it up and sharing with everyone.
We had great chow on Friday night thanks to Leonard Sanders of Chuck Wagon Cookin who made tri-tip, chicken, and all the fixins.
