World Food Championships -- The Ultimate Food Fight!

[CandySueQ]

The World Food Championships is coming up the 2nd weekend of November in Orange Beach, Alabama! Is anyone planning on going?

Cowboy Charcoal has an added event, the Fire & Ice BBQ Championship (tags on to KCBS contests), only for women-headed BBQ teams. The top 10 teams get a ticket to the WFC, where Friday evening all 10 ladies go head-to-head cooking protein of choice on Deep South Smokers. Right now, BBQr's Delight is team number 9! It'll be interesting to see if I can hold in the top 10 for the next 3 weekends.

Go, CandySueQ !!! I'm rootin for y'all, Gal!

Thanks everyone! Assuming I do get the call, the first challenge is a 2 hour cook where all the ladies cook on a Deep South Smoker. They are calling it grilling, but the cooker looks like a Backwoods Smoker. 2 hours isn't a long time to prep, cook and plate! It's going to be a "fancy" plate presentation too. I'm tempted to do reverse sear beef tenderloin with fancy saucing with Secretariat and Red Wine sauces. Carved smoked new potatoes might be a nice touch too. Smoked meatloaf and pig candy come to mind too. What do you think would work?

Reverse-seared ribeye cap, seasoned/crusted like a prime rib!

Good luck CandySueQ !!! I can't wait to get your feedback on the Deep South Smoker.

Wish you the best of luck CandySueQ

I'm practicing! Looks like I didn't get bumped out this weekend!

This is pork tenderloin rolled around a mixture of shrimp, panko, onion, flat parsley, pine nuts and my super secret soy glaze. Next time I'll add water chestnuts for crunch.

I think going Asian in flavor will be different. I'll need to prep and cook at least 4 of these for the first round of the contest.

What do you think?

looks excellent!

[CandySueQ]

Problem is short cook time! All work including prep, cook and presentation has to be done in 2 hours

That looks awesome and delicious Candy. I would be anxious to try that.

[Steve B]

Looks amazing @Candy Sue Good luck in the upcoming events. We're all pulling for you.
It must be nerve racking to cook under that kind of pressure. I wouldn't be able to do it.

[BIGBECDADDY]

Pullin for you Candy. Remember where you are, pork is king in Alabama. with two hour time limit. K.I.S. (KEEP IT SIMPLE).

[CandySueQ]

They changed the rules TWICE!!! Last change was at the cooks meeting right before the cook! But we all had to deal with it so it was fair. I must have won with this because I was bottom of the BBQ barrel the next day (70/89) and still made 4th in the ladies contest. I was happy with this, I'd make it again.

[fuzzydaddy]

Congrats and that looks delicious. And good to see you!

[CandySueQ]

Looking a bit worse for wear! That's 2 hours with film crews and commentarians and interacting with the public while cooking. The dish was delicious and pretty.

[Spinaker]

Looks great Candy!! You should see what I look like after my cooks!!!

[HawkerXP]

Congratulations! Looks great!
