Hey guys!!! What a great weekend that the Carriage Crossing Memphis In May The Heartland Network bbq_country competition this weekend, with the honor of serving 400 samples of ribs to the public. I also had the opportunity to talk to bbq_country host Russ Lannom, hang out and serve some ribs to HANNAH DASHER, see the staff behind MIM McKenzie Carson, Mack Weaver, Kevin Grothe & many of the great MIM volunteers. Shout out to ThunderCookie BBQ Transportation and Clothing Brian Easley on solid finishes in the competition, and congrats to Mike with Ole Smokey BBQ on the win. Huge thanks to Superlo Foods and Prairie Fresh Pork for ribs, Heath Riles BBQ for helping provide that world championship flavor profile, and Smokin Brothers for the use of a cook shack pellet smoker to be able to cook all those ribs at once! A special thank you to Anonymous Swine for helping with prepping, wrapping, cooking and cambro for the event, your support and help is truly a blessing . I also want to thank everyone. Finally, thank you again to Memphis In May for this experience and all the countless people yesterday, that commented on my ribs, took time to talk BBQ, or ask more about Team Bugsyque!!! Dream big. Work hard. Stay humble. Never stop cooking.
