I talked with Royce today, she is really working hard to make this a good event. I also talked to the health inspector about some of the, kinda strange requirments, he is really trying to learn how this kind of event works. He is following the rules as they are listed here, but seemed willing to learn how other places work. He told me today that he is going to call the Maricopa County health inspector and ask some questions like, can we bring our own spices and rubs premade? He was wanting us to all bring our ingredients in the containers from the store with the reciepts and mix and make them there after we showed him the proof that we did not get them off the ground or what not. I told him that a lot of those rubs and spices were "classified", and he might have to be killed after he saw the list
.
He is going to check and see if he will let us bring our own mixes premade? This would only apply to the peoples choice from what I understand. I told him it may cause many to not cook for the pc and he was concered and expressed that he wanted to help this event go well, but still follow the rules he was suposed to enforce. We will see how it goes, but he was very willing to come and inspect my fifthwheel early friday so that I can do my comp food prep inside instead of outside, even though I will have to do pc food prep outside, in the wind and dirt and bugs and what not LOL, and yes he laughed a bit when I said it like that to him too. It should be fun and I look forward to meeting many of you ther. Mike if there is anything I can do to help out on this end, let me know.
