King is about 20 minutes from me so I might have to check this out while y’all slave over seafoods and desserts.

That should be a stone cold blast. I’m envious.

The best time to go if you want to visit cooks is Friday evening. Things get rushed Saturday morning til about 1:30 with prep and turn ins. Have a great time!

[WayneT]

Thanks for that heads up advice.

[Jim White]

Enjoy!

That looks like a great time! If you go, please update this thread.

Thanks WayneTi hadn't seen that. I would like to check it out.

I read the info in the link and I say go for it! When I was a KCBS judge I didn't like "BBQ competitions" where the public was invited, but no one was serving BBQ to the public. This event doesn't seem like one of those. They clearly say that there will be vendors and a "people's choice" option to taste from the competitors. Enjoy and thrill us with pics!

2700 miles from Portland OR to King NC.

[WayneT]

Got your room reserved?

Due to flight restrictions, we had to cancel Air B and B late
My Traeger would not pass as a service device, "But I need it for emotional support!"

[Clawbear57]

Sorry I couldn't make it. I ended up in the hospital, with a bacterial infection of the colon and didn't get home until yesterday.

[bbqLuv]

Glad to have you back.

Dang James, sorry to hear that. I went Friday around 6:30 and was not impressed. None of the pitmasters were cooking and there were only 3-4 dubious food trucks there.
