Ribs...Ribs...Ribs...But NOT Chicken!

H*QUE had a pretty good weekend at the 2010 Kick-Off Cook-Off in Hazelwood, MO. This was the 3rd time H*QUE has attended this contest. A fun local contest we’ve supported since it began. 59 teams this year – lots of heavy hitters! We kept those rib scores rolling from last weekend – took 3rd in ribs again. We also took 3rd in dessert – a first for H*QUE!

However, if you want chicken – don’t call us – we apparently can’t cook it to save our lives. 51st…ACK! Brisket was dead on but didn’t place as well this weekend unfortunately.

A big shout out to my team for their hard work and dedication. Even with the crazy rain, wind and storms that rolled through – Sztukowski and Sparks kept us even on temps and Stel (who apparently made those ribs right – thanks for the work on those!), Michael and Michael’s son Hayden were excellent help! Tillery got that brisket prepped beautifully as always.  Jen got those boxes looking awesome as usual and I ran around trying to keep it all in order LOL!

We’ll see y’all in 2 weeks at Elk’s Lodge – Columbia, MO – with Popeye’s chicken for turn in…LOL!

Here’s The Scores:
Chicken – 51st
Ribs – 3rd
Pork – 14th
Brisket – 19th
Overall – 20th
