Gilroy Rock n' Ribs
Competition BBQ Cook-Off
June 20-21, 2008
See comments from attendees !!!
<
Documented Gilroy Sound-Bites submitted by Ric Gilbert >
This is the second annual event (3rd if you include the Great Gilroy Gobbler
Gathering), taking place in downtown Gilroy. This is a full blown
competition but there is a twist: Contestants will be cooking only ribs,
chicken, tri tip, and a mystery meat to be announced (and I think) provided
by the event coordinators.
You may cook on any equipment you like, including gas burners, pellet
poopers, stick burners, or even blow torches - all are welcome, but
microwave users will be scorned, mocked, and ridiculed. Please see the rules
section for complete rule disclosure.
General Information:
What: BBQ Competition and charity fund raiser
Where: Gilroy Ca. on Main Street
When: Saturday, June 21, 2008
What meats: Chicken, ribs and a mystery meat (to be provided)
Entry fee: $100
Venders Fee: $75 Only 6 spots available and going fast!

Cooking BBQ for
13,000-18,000 Marines & their dependants
< pictures & write-up from this event >
< pictures & write-up from this event >
Team BBQbyDan (Rick & Karen Streiff, Dan
& Barbara Cannon) head out to Twentynine Palms Marine Base to provide
support to the California BBQ Association (CBBQA) as well as many volunteers
in providing a BBQ dinner to the Marines and their dependents at the
Twentynine Palms Marine Base sports field. We will all go out on
Friday, arriving in the early afternoon to prep meats, setup smokers, and
cook the traditional award winning BBQ faire that we all do so often.
All BBQ groups and volunteers are contributing (at no charge) their
time, efforts, equipment, and fuels.
Friday evening late afternoon and evening will be dedicated to unwrapping,
trimming, and seasoning 350 full size Briskets. That would be 4,662
pounds. Yes, it takes a lot of brisket to feed 18,000 folks.
Briskets will come off the cookers early Saturday, go into warmers, then
quartered and Buffalo Chopped, then into foil pans, and into the final
warmers ready to serve for dinner. Chicken, Hamburgers, and Hot Dogs
will also be served. This is the 5th year that Team BBQbyDan has had
the privilege of being a part of this great event.
Del King is one of the originators, catalysts, and unbroken link that keeps
these events happening. He keeps the Military involved, all the
volunteers updated, events planned, and is ready on a moments notice to do
an event like this anywhere.
