We competed in our first IBCA sanctioned competition in Albuquerque, NM on June 27. The contest was sponsored by the Faith Temple and they did an outstanding job taking good care of the cooks. This was their second annual event and 18 teams from as far away as Arkansas and Arizona participated. This was our second contest after a 5 year break and relocating to New Mexico. We had a great time socializing and getting to know some of the local teams. There are obviously some great cooks and formidable competition here in the Southwest. It is a lot of fun making new BBQ friends. Congratulations to Q and Sweet Peppers who took Grand Champion and Reserve.
