Okie dokie, here’s the history of this great event…
Back in May 2006, a bunch of us Okies went to GeoWoodstock 4 at Cedar Hill State Park south of Dallas. On the night before the big event there was a Texas Chili Cook-Off event for the people who arrived early. Since learnin' to cook both Colorado-style and Okie-style, I entered my unusual chili recipe that included both corn and BBQ sauce. Long story short, I made all those Texans look real bad, and won!
So a few months later before our Fall Fest at Walnut Creek, I decided to have a similar event. But then I thought, heck, why waste time with just chili? Let's show 'em Texans what all can be done with BBQ sauce!
Over the years we've had hundreds of folks bring some real good things to eat! And we even had a few real bad things too. But each year has been a lotta fun and always very filling!
Each year we get more entries and more hungry judges! Wow! next thing we know it'll be a mega event!
SO... at 7:00 on Friday night bring your best BBQ sauce dish to the coords above. It can be ANYTHING- as long as it has BBQ sauce on it, in it, or around it! The only limit is your imagination and your favorite BBQ sauce.
Those who don't want to be in the contest can bring a side dish to share please.
Everyone who brings a BBQ entry or side dish (and, yes, beer is a side dish) will get to vote for the best. Plus cooks will be eligible for a braggin' rights and the coveted "Best Overall BBQ" apron. Only one vote per person though. Everyone else is welcome to come sample the fixin's. Last minute entries are always welcome!
So bring it on, fellow Okies! If I can show 'em Texans how to make chili by throwin' in a little BBQ sauce, we all can show off how to cook Okie-style!
Again this year there will also be cetifcicates awarded for:
Best Meat BBQ
Best BBQ Sidedish
Best BBQ Dessert
Weirdest BBQ Dish
Spicest
Sweetest
NOTE: To make things easier please bring your own lawn chairs, drinks, plates, and silverware. Anyone with extra tables and lights please bring those too!
