Made the trip out this weekend to the Phelps County Ribfest in Holdridge. It was a Rib Cook Off Association event ran smoothly by Dirk Mullins. Had a pretty decent cook after not doing it for awhile. Ended up 5th in steak and 3rd in ribs. Congrats to Scott Friend on the overall and your wins. And thank you to Chris Nelson for putting on the event! Fun time was had by all!!

Made the trip down to Larnard KS to cook the Pawnee County Fair Steak and Rib cook off. Made a rookie mistake on the steak and the judges scored me rightfully so. Made a last minute decision to enter the buger category. We ended up with 5th place. Saturday was a double rib contest. My first time cooking a Rib Cook-Off Association contest. Jody and Dirk run a great contest. When the dust settled I finished 6th in the first contest and lost the tie breaker for 2nd place and ended up with 3rd place. Couldn't be happier with our first time out. Cory Johnson runs one of the best contests around. He's a great guy and cares about the cooks! Also got to hang out with a great buddy down that way. It'd been way to long since I'd seen Cory and Jonathan. Thanks to all the people and equipment that keep rolling out great food!!

Tried my hand at something a little different this weekend. Been wanting to get to cook pizza at a Pizza Cook-Off Association event. They finally had one up here in Omaha at Helping U Barbeque. Took the judging class on Saturday taught by Jerry Belcastro. Sunday was cook day. Alot different then I'm used to having a 45 minute turn in window. Kept cooking pizza's until I found the one I was happy turn in. I was fortunate enough to be in the top 5 to make it to the final round. It was fast paced with only a 30 minute prep time and 10 minute turn in window. When the dust settled I was blessed with 2nd place! 1/10th of a point outta 1st. Congrats to Mike Janne on the win!! Great contest hosted by great people. Can't wait to do it again!!

I am proud and blessed to be chosen to represent this great brand again this year. Pancho Lefty has been a huge part of my steak success since they started selling rubs. The guys behind these rubs are top-notch. The Original Steak Rub is very versatile. It also goes in my Texas no bean backyard competition chili!!

Finally cleaned and rested after a hot weekend cooking the SeptemberFest BBQ and Ribeye Cook-Off Challenge. We had a great weekend starting off by placing 6th in steak in the first round. Second round I ended up tied for 2nd place but lost the tie breaker, so 3rd over all. Also ended up 6th in the side dish category that night. On to the BBQ contest. Had a great cook and ended placing 7th in Prairie Fresh ribs and 3rd in Snake River Farms brisket (another tie for 2nd, another tiebreaker loss). Overall I ended up 11th outta of a field of tough cooks
(another tie for 10th, another tiebreaker loss). Congrats to Janky Leg BBQ on Grand Champion and Man Meat BBQ on Reserve Champion. All in all it was a great time hanging out with friends burning meat in a parking lot. Thank you to all that support me!

Homemade Italian Sunday sauce with Orsi's sausage and fresh mozzarella. Second was tzatziki sauce base with raw gyro meat with Peppadew sweet and hot peppers with feta cheese with Mediterranean herb topping. Not a bad dinner for hump day! Loving the Ooni Karu 16!!

Finally had a weekend to have some smoke therapy. Fired up both Gateway Drum Smokers with Blues Hog lump charcoal. Made a nicely marbled Tri-Tip from Rustic Cuts, Prairie Fresh baby backs, ring bologna, and a bunch of Jalapeno's. Jalapeno's were topped with Pancho & Leftys Texas Black. Everything turned out awesome!! Felt good to get cooking again.
