Leaving early, early in the morning tomorrow to head to Orange Beach, Alabama for the World Food Championship. I barely made it in to the Cowboy Charcoal Fire & Ice lady pitmasters competition, but barely still counts! I will cook traditional KCBS BBQ (50% of score), plus a signature dish on Friday lunchish (the other half of score). Thursday, I'm cooking a contest with specific Bolner (Fiesta) seasonings. We have to use chili powder, black pepper and nutmeg. After that there's a Smithfield contest with pork loin. I'll take pictures and show what I've done!

WFC is pretty awesome! Food is food, not PC and it's gender specific as far as who is cooking. Many teams that are couples will designate the female as "chief cook." Part of the rules this year for signature dish is that NO male assistants are allowed. This is done arena style with every cook on the same charcoal grill. One hubbie was practicing channeling his inner woman...
