American Royal This Weekend

This weekend is the American Royal, certainly one of the biggest and most prestigious BBQ contests of the year. I have never cooked it or been to the Royal, but am planning to do so sometime in the future. We were qualified for the invitational contest in 2006, but had a vacation to Jamaica planned for the same week and decided to just go to the Jack.

New England will be well represented at the Royal. Transformer BBQ, I Smell Smoke!!! and iQue will all be cooking the Royal this year. Also, the Brothers in Smoke, Phil and BBQ Brethren.com from New York are making the trip.

Brendan and Julie Burek, Transformer BBQ

Chris Hart, iQue

Steve Farrin, I Smell Smoke!!!

Good luck everyone!
