How About A Cook Off EVERYONE Can Participate In?

[Panhead John]

I’d like to start out by saying that these 2 Smackdowns that were started, owe most of the credit for their success, to the Mr. Bones Memorial rib cook. Mr. Bones death shook us up quite a bit. I can’t think of a better way to memorialize him than a continuation of his love for cooking and group togetherness.

Shortly after his death SteveB and Spinaker decided to put together a Memorial Rib Cook in his honor. It was a huge success! After that, I kind of saw how everyone loved the group participation thing. Everyone commented how much fun it was, even though it was for a sad reason.

Anyway, there was discussion between Richard Chrz and Spinaker , of maybe doing a monthly "group cook" type of thing. I initially thought that might be too often. Boy was I wrong! With our recent successes I think we should continue.

Here's my thoughts…We should do an "AR Chili Cookoff" for November! There’s always heated discussions about the best Chili, beans or no beans, and whatever ingredients make it the best. Anyway, I think this would make for a great group cook for the month of November. What say y’all ?

Or gas vs charcoal.

[Jerod Broussard]

We covered gas with the beans.

[Attjack]

☝️ no beans

[smokin fool]

....not to reopen a can a wormz....or pineapple....

[Michael_in_TX]

I think a chili cookoff would be really fun.

[mrteddyprincess]

I wish we all lived next door to one another and could actually taste the food. I guess we're stuck with pics.

[RiverJeff]

Yep any one of Kardashians would love to send me away on their jet also!

[mrteddyprincess]

I live right by the Indy Metro Airport in Fishers. I'm pretty sure I see Kardashian jets coming and going over there all the time.

[ofelles]

Well those two timing Bi##hes. I thought we had the real thing going. 😪☹😖

[Finster]

Chili cookoff you say?
Count me in...

[Clawbear57]

I've never cooked chili on smoker but I'm game.

[Panhead John]

This would just be a "cook however ya want" Chili Cook Off. No smoker required. 👍

[Richard Chrz]

What?

[Whiskeyman53]

Ok, what's the cook off for December, this one's already in the books.

[Panhead John]

I was thinking we shouldn’t do one in December, that’s when we do our Secret Santa. Not sure if we should even try and compete with that, it’s huge!

[Allon]

False start #7 offense... 10 yard penalty, repeat 1st down.

[mcook2201]

For a few years running I challenged my three sons and wife to a chili cookoff. Only condition it had to be cooked over a wood fire. It was good times-more about the comradeity than the product. But honestly everyone was a winner as the chilies were always great.

I am down for a chili cook-off as well☝️

[Panhead John]

Great! ….My thoughts were to let everyone cook it however ya want, but I’m open to suggestions of course.

[mnavarre]

I'd be up for that. But.

We need to deal with the fact that most of September and all of October remain.

So, since PJ said he was thinking of selling his wok, how about Wok Vs. Flattop for the remainder of September .

For October we can all put on our leggings and Ugg boots and PUMKIN' SPICE EVERYTHING! Pumkin' spice brisket!, Pumkkin' spice ramen, pumkin' spice whatever!

Then in November we can get around to the serious business of everybody but me being wrong about chili.

[Panhead John]

Hmm…maybe a "Stir-fry Smackdown" ??? for October….Wok VS Griddle? If so, this’ll have to be the last Smackdown for a while! I ain’t doin no damn SVQ VS QVQ Smackdown! Next thing ya know we’ll be doin a "Best Toast Smackdown - Broiler VS Toaster" I ain’t going there! 😂

[WayneT]

Seriously? Does that mean the espresso machine vs Mr. Coffee is off too? I was already working on my latte art skills.

[58limited]

You bring pumpkin spice anywhere near my brisket and there's gonna be trouble

[58limited]

I'm in, great idea.

[CaptainMike]

Well, y'all can show up if'n ya want to, but just know that yer all gonna be also rans. And since 'ol Troutman has made hisself persona non grata I'm lookin at you, ecowper .....

[CaptainMike]

Andrrr not even a hint from the Master Smacker!

[Panhead John]

ecowper puts carrots in his chili. He’d definitely be an also ran….

[Panhead John]

CaptainMike I actually prefer "The Smack Master" In fact, please don’t call me PJ anymore….From here on out it’s "Mr. Smack Master"! 😂😂😂

[DavidNorcross]

I am in. Just got to take my suit to the cleaners before November!

[Panhead John]

David, maybe we should have an award for "Best Dressed Chef" also! 😂

[hoovarmin]

Sounds fun to me. Whatever it turns out to be, I wanna play too.

[Oakgrovebacon]

I cook my chili over wood in Oct on Columbus Day weekend. makes enough for the winter. If y’all want a bowl-makes plans to stop by

[Rfhd69]

That looks really good!

[WayneT]

Calculating route…

[Texas Larry]

I’d be in for a November chili cook off.

[Panhead John]

Good deal Larry! With us Texans banding together, the rest of the country/world wouldn’t stand a chance!
