First of all I want to thank Mike and AZBarbeque for helping us get started in competing and just barbequing period. My name is Ken and I'm actually the brother-in-law of Frank R. who owns, sponsors, and is the head cheese of the team. Although we can eat with the best of em we had no real exp. till Avondales Ass Kickin BBQ Cook-Off. What an experience - from a relly enjoyable time we had there to meeting alot of great people. We are so gung-ho now to be in any and every event its unreal. I just wanted to take a minute and tell everyone thanks for the oppurtunity and let you know it is appreciated. We actually finnished 5th in brisket and 2nd in ribs - wow, makes me wonder if they gave it to us to hook us in. (lol) I have a question though, on the bad side our pork and chicken didn't fair so well, when we turn in our judges samples how should we turn it in, just the meat, bbq sauce on the side, or mix a little in. I have looked for answers on the internet and could not find any, any info You all have would be welcomed for future events.
The Gym Grill and Bar is located in Queen Creek AZ with 2 new opening in Glendale (1 block fom football stadium) and Casa Grande, will have web site up and running soon. Hopefully you will all come by some time and try it out, (we had to have an excuse to buy smoker so we are now adding smoked food on menu) and would love to have your honest opinions. As long as you dont beat us in any events discounts may be avail. (lol)
Good luck to all and we can't wait to see you all at future events.
