View Full Version : 2009 BBQ Contest
Met with the good Folks at Golden Voice about the 2009 contest
First Class, The Best, Make em happy, Were the instructions
I was really impressed once again that GV REALLY cares that you have a
quality experience even if that costs them money.
I am very happy to be a part of this for the third year
We are expanding the contest in 2009
If you think cooking and enjoying the crowd sounds like fun
drop me a note We will be doing classes in BBQ to develop new teams
You can see Stagecoach from the inside

I hope no one runs out this year. I barely got to try any last year. The ones I did were TASTY!!
How to make me happy at Stagecoach 09 BBQ Contest...
Please provide a hand washing station in the BBQ area.
Please provide a tent with benches in the BBQ area. Maybe that could be the central location and all of the BBQ booths could surround the tent so we can sit and eat.
Make me a judge. :D

When do the classes happen? It sounds like a good idea for Friday night or at a non music time. Maybe in the morning. I would be willing to apprentice on yours or any team to learn but don't want to take away from the family/music time.
The BBQ Classes will be months ahead of the Cook Off
We may do a Certified BBQ Judge Class on Friday afternoon

You are gonna have to give me some info on that! I really would love to compete. Just commiting is my problem...and the time it takes.
Hmmm...maybe I will practice again this weekend. I got my dads smoker, it is an electric one. Works pretty good! I made my pulled pork AND YUMMMMMMY!!!!!:D :D :D

When and where will the classes be? Also do you need to be in the competition to go to the classes? Cost? Kymery went with the electric smokerbecause it resembles a red cup. I started with the electric for smoking albacore. When It died I swapped to charcoal/wood. I'm thinking of buying a couple sheets of stainless steel and making a custom bbq/smoker.

The classes in Ca are not set yet
Electric cookers are not allowed in competition

I enjoyed the BBQ last year. I think there were not many drink stations near the BBQ last year and a couple more would have been good.
We have more drink stations, Adult and otherwise lined up for 09
Expanded contest with more prize money
11 teams in 07
38 teams in 08
Goal of 55 teams in 09
This would be the largest BBQ Cook Off ever on the West Coast
thom - i wanna make sure i know where this thing is cuz i'm not sure if i was in the right spot last year. is it WAY off to the side.. like if i were standing on the stage, looking over my left shoulder straight out? i remember seeing some fun team names that just cracked me up. a couple of really racey ones (can you recall them?). but i didn't notice anything organized about a contest. what/when should we look for this year?
Kymery

Abra, that is where we were, right where you explain...I am not sure if we got there late, but no one was "testing". We ended up buying some ribs and eating in a frantic to get to our seats. Pain in the hootchi standing, holding a drink and trying to eat sloppy ribs.!! Need more seats in the open area between booths.

I'll be planning on an early BBQ lunch on Saturday to be sure I get to try more than I did last year! :)
GOOOOOOD stuff - but I wanted to try more - but like IHML said, a bunch of places were sold out! (But sounds like they're planning ahead and hopefully that won't happen again in 09!)

Thom, as I am a newbie on the BBQ scene. I would love to have any info on classes that are before Stagecoach (judging and competition). I am considering entering the comp but I would like a little knowledge to do so and comport myself with dignity.
You purchased like 5 tastes I think for 10??? and then they gave you a vote ticket which you handed over to the one you thought was best. I went early and often.

Yes everything bbq...
The Babes at the river is great and Big mommas soul food in Cat city on 111 is one of the best BBQ in the desert.Ask for the sauce on the side or you will be wiping your face and hands forever....
I hope they open the one here soon.It almost seems as if they stopped since the economy took a turn.We went to the hogs breath last Saturday and then The Desert Sage in old town and both had no one in there it has been dead out here....
Just wondering if they are coming back this season since the Canadian dollar is so week now.

If any of you get out this way hit Jay Bees where the 405 and 110 freeways meet. Killer pulled pork sandwich. It was featured on food networks DDD. Another good one out here is Rib Nest on El segundao and Western ave.
Yes everything bbq...

Please The Best BBQ in the Desert is at my house

Great side dishes at Big Mammas
They bake the Ribs in a Gas Oven
then finish on a grill
We would use a lil different method
Ohhhh I want to go......:D
The class which has a moderate cost will be offered here
There is a small contest in Palm Desert that features public tasting like Stagecoach with a smaller crowd and lower costs

This would be a GREAT place to try doing a BBQ cook off
