Just enjoying a good cigar after the contest. Ah the simple life... Perfect steak, well shaken Martini and a fine Dominican blend Ashton. Dillon, CO was a great success. Thanks to all of the participating teams in the first Faux Q hedonist blowout. Well this is an update to the previous blog for me to practice inserting photos in my otherwise austere beginner's blog.

I am currently at the IFBC Food Bloggers convention and my newest blogger buddies are helping me out with some tips and expert advise...shout out to all my new blog pals. Anyway, I thought I would just add some pics from the latest BBQ contest to make some introductions. I'll start with this pic of Donny Teal's sweet Jamie Gear, Jambo Smoker. (This is the Mercedes of custom smokers for those who haven't been exposed to competition BBQ yet.) Think.... Hm? Mercedes. Same paint job, different interior.

A satisfied customer. This is the best rib cook in the world. Nah, no kidding, this guy cooks the best ribs in the world, Mark Welte of Carcus Cookers. Jack Daniels International, three year running, champion rib Czar. Oh, the cross eyed little guy up front, thats his son, Joey.

This group, Golden Toad, provides dinner and a show. No, really, you get to eat and watch, or dance, hell sing too if that moves ya. Thats a spatula this guy is playing, can't find that model at Williams Sonoma.
