To me it will be very interesting to see how sous vide entries fare against traditional grilling.

I think the SCA model is better than the proposed KCBS model. SCA entry fees are only $150, and that includes two choice-grade ribeye steaks.
I'm guessing that KCBS entry fees will be substantially higher, and the contestants will be required to buy their own steaks at the cost of about $30 apiece. And many cooks will turn in TWO steaks (one sliced for taste, and one whole for appearance). The number of steaks they can cook for a particular contest is unlimited. Wow.
On the other hand, SCA limits contestants to two steaks (only one can be turned in), chosen on-site by the contestants themselves. The steaks are provided by the contest organizer, and pick order is determined by a blind draw. Very fair and cost-effective. This coming from an individual (not a team) who would love to compete, but only if a cost-effective and level playing field is established. SCA has remarkably done that.
However, KCBS gets it right when they discourage grill marks on steaks. The goal should be to get the entire surface of the steak seared, instead of only the grill marks. SCA fails in this regard. Grill marks should be scored down, instead of up.
IMHO.Last edited by TBoneJack; December 31, 2021, 07:21 AM.
