I didn’t try any of the restaurants’ food, but on thing that I have to take my hat of to Rubb for is that all of us teams got there near 630 AM. Rubb and Matt Levin were there earlier than any restaurant cooking. I look forward to seeing them back next year.

Saturday was a lot of fun, I personally liked Capt’n Dick’s BBQ their sauce was amazing, although I only had their stuff and Buddakan which is not really my style. Anyone know what the results were?

The only Starr restaurant to actually place was Jones, which got second for their bbq chicken. Shut out in terms of first place, yes, but not entirely shut out.

Buddakan got a call, I forget what for though. Last year the winner was Smoke Daddy’s BBQ, 2007-Widespread BBQ, and the year before was a restaurant that has escaped me. Its a nice little run of pit masters winning this thing. Lets not stop that next year.

Rubb had the most generous sample hands down. A pulled pork slider, two meaty ribs, collareds and mac n’ cheese.
The Country Club also gave me a 2 for of meaty rib and pulled pork slider.
Good deal overall, will have to check it out next year and figure out where everyone was getting their water from.
