New Paltz aka Hudson Valley Ribfest

Well I picked the wrong time to start blogging again. Our results in New Paltz were less than steller, we didn't get a call all weekend in the Grilling Contest or the BBQ Contest. We ended up 16th overall in the grilling and 18th overall in the barbecue. I thought all of our food was good this weekend but the judges just didn't agree. We spent a few minutes behind the trailer crying about it and then we did the Hampster Dance to cheer ourselves up.

I'm headed to New Holland Pennsylvania this weekend to cook in the New Holland Summerfest. I've had some success there in the past but didn't do great last year. I'm not changing a thing so we'll see what happens this weekend. Wish us luck.

Hey Steve ... Tom from NY here (I took the Guru-sponsored class with ISS this past June). I was one of the judge's this past weekend at the RibFest. I went looking for you folks after the judging. I was surprised by the poor quality of a lot of the entries this year (obviously didn't get to sample any ISS - your product is always GREAT!). Hope to catch up with you folks either at Westport in September (are you going?) or Sayville, L.I. in October. Best of luck at New Holland. Take it easy ...

I want to see pictures of the Hampster Dance. I need to learn it myself.
