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.

I'm in!!! And I'm looking forward to putting my BBQ up against your BBQ. Let's see what ya got! lol —oompappy

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"

I have 30 more like this —BrianWemett

2010-04-18 15:23:08   Wow! 70 cooking teams so far for 2010. This is going to be a Great Contest! It's nice to see a lot of WNY'ers entered along with some top national teams.
