Rock'n Ribs BBQ Festival 2007


Bass Pro held a very awesome event that our friend Mickey would have certainly been jealous over. It was called the Rock'n Ribs BBQ Festival and simply put it is a massive bar-b-que cook off that any one is invited to participate in. Of course the only stipulation is that you have to cook about 200 lbs of bar-b-que in order to have enough for all the patrons that will visit the event.
There was about 60 or so contestants offering just a taste of their product and each of them hoping that they could win over the crowd. That's right, there were no judges, just a crowd of hungry patrons that would decide the best bar-b-que. Every person that entered the event was given a voting ballot in which you were allowed to place a single contestant on. You could only pick one as being the best. That was not an easy task. We tried so many different flavored and textured types of pulled pork that it was hard to keep track of the ones you actually liked. But it was fun trying.

This contest is so big they even had aliens trying out the bar-b-que.

It was such a cool experience walking along this very long line as you slowly made your way to each contestant booth. Some had their booth all decorated up as an attempt to have you remember their booth when it came to cast that single vote.

Neleha ate her self to sleep and ended up getting carried by most of the booths, but we sure had a fun time along with Angie and Aaliyah. We all ate our fill and had a fun time doing it.
