Rigby Roo's BBQ

Madison recap:
What an awesome competition. The Madison's BBQ Party has switched organizer hands 3 times in 3 years but still managed to pull off a VERY high level comp.

Of all the competitions that we roll to every year, this one is the stiffest and we still give them a run for the money.

This is also Shelby and I's favorite because of getting to head back to an awesome small town that's stuck in time somehow. Boutique hotels, theatres and a long list of local restaurants (and every single one is amazing)!

The overall cook went smooth and I actually started getting anxious during turn in windows because nothing bad or chaotic had yet happened lol and I was just waiting for the shoe to drop, but it never came. The weather was absolutely perfect... literally couldn't have asked for better.

Obviously didn't end up where we wanted but those Ribs are wanting to break into the Top 10 every time... we're hitting 11-15 at every KCBS Masters comp we attend. And this was out of 40+ Masters teams so we'll take the win.

🐔 - 26th (164.54)
🍖 - 15th (171.99)
🐷 - 28th (165.10)
🐮 - 31st (160.51)
Overall 29th

Thank you Smoke Ring BBQ Supply for your continued support... you are the BEST!

We were reminded that we haven't yet posted how this weekend went with a recap 😂...sorry but I've spent the last two days recovering from an exhausting Friday/Saturday.

First, thank you Lord for my wife...poor woman spent 2 days making coconut rice for a thousand people 💪!

We ended up somewhere mid-pack, which I'll take! We started our culinary journey on the standard KCBS circuit. You're cooking the same 4 meats over and over again and are awarded for consistency and perfection to a very specific standard. Creativity is not rewarded.

This was our first time creating our own dish from scratch and presenting it to the public. Creativity, flavors, presentation, selling skills... everything all in one package. Even though the heat nearly took me down, we gave it every ounce of energy we had and we had a blast. Met a lot of people, new followers to our team, new business as we set foot into the catering world and many other positive experiences... we can't say enough!

We served "Indiana Bourbon meets Island BBQ". Coconut rice with toasted coconut flakes, pork belly bites braised in the distillery's sweet wheated bourbon, pineapple braised in brown sugar and the distillery's toasted coconut rum, with a pineapple habanero glaze.

Thank you Dave White for being a great host, mentor, and friend... can't say enough about you!

Thank you Smoke Ring BBQ Supply for sponsoring our journey this year...you guys are fantastic and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!

Thank you Outlaw BBQ Smokers for sponsoring the event and being a part of the Rigby Roo's journey!

Thank you Hard Truth Distilling Co. for putting on a great event at a gorgeous property... though we think you have an amazing opportunity to make next year's in September/Oct when the leaves are changing and no one is dying from heat 🥵😂.

Thank you to Swine Life BBQ for being fantastic neighbors...it was an honor and pleasure to get to know you guys...you can keep following us for updates on our farm and Doc!

Always thankful to our BBQ family Diddy’s Delectable 3BQ and A&R Barbeque for having our backs without question...you are THE BEST.

And thanks to God for giving us these opportunities! 🙏

All tucked in at the Hard Truth Distilling Co. Bourbon and BBQ Festival!

This is a People's Choice competition format. Shelby and I came up with a dish that we know will make you want seconds 🤤.

"Indiana Bourbon meets Island BBQ"

Outlaw BBQ Smokers is also sponsoring this event...not sure how you get better than running a recipe with the Distillery's own product and using an Outlaw to get us there.

Thank you to Smoke Ring BBQ Supply for your support...you are literally the best in your business 💪.
