Learn 2 Q


Here's a reminder that tomorrow evening at 7:00, Championship Barbecue Chef and founder of Learn2Q.com, Troy Black. He will be offering a special BBQ 101 cooking class as a "pre-festival" event on Thursday, April 22nd, at the Mesquite Convention Center. For more details about the class particulars, go to his website at Learn 2 Q. Additionally, he also has a brand new cookbook the Big Book of BBQ, on sale April 6, and DVD project Real BBQ Know How, that is now available for sale, that he will be promoting during his demonstrations during the festival.

Also, over the weekend, don't miss the "Taste of Mesquite" Barbecue Cook-Off during the Real.Texas.Festival, which will run April 23 - 24. It is open to the public (anyone can sign up to compete), and they will have a $2,000 payout, with a $500 Grand Champion Prize. Entry fee is $60 and categories include beef brisket, pork spare ribs and 1/2 chicken. Rules/application form available at http://www.realtexasfestival.com/"

Is anyone out there planning to enter the 'cue contest?

Nothing better than BBQ and playing a game of Cornhole!

DISCLAIMER:

Each joint is judged on the essence of Texas 'cue...sliced brisket and pork ribs. Sausage is only considered if house made. Sauce is good, but good meat needs no adornment to satisfy. Each review can only be based on specific cuts of meat on that particular day. Finally, if the place fries up catfish or serves a caesar salad, then chances are they aren't paying enough attention to the pits, so we mostly steered clear.
