2009-04-04 15:11:44   This is Great to finally have a "real" BBQ competition in the Rochester area. The KCBS sanctioning, with the strict rules and double blind judging, make a fair playing field for local cooks to compete on a national level.

2009-05-26 07:35:12   Went Sunday afternoon hoping to sample some ribs and it seemed like many of the vendors had already left and rib teasers were $5-6. Glad to see the competition and hope it returns next year but it needs to be better organized. —RobertKimmel

2009-05-27 18:00:02   "Have to say that this event is the benchmark for future competitions. Your hard work, dedication and attention to detail made for a wonderful time. We drove 8 hours to be there and were not in the least bit disappointed (well, except for our scores, but that one is on us;-) ) - Team ZBQ, Rhode Island"

2009-05-29 17:15:02   This was my first event and I have to say the organizers did a fantastic job, went above and beyond my expectations, and cannot wait to do it again, BIG FUN ! " JACKS RACKS " by the way, Brian, Jon, and Todd.... great job ! PS - Jacks Racks placed 17th in Rib Only, not bad for 1st timers —JackMangefrida
