Four Q BBQ Team First in Pork Ribs at Victorville contest
My barbecue team, Four Q BBQ, spent the weekend with twenty others competing at the Go For the Gold Route 66 BBQ Championships in the high desert town of Victorville, California. At KCBS sanctioned contests, teams competing for the overall Grand Champion title submit entries in chicken, pork rib, pulled pork, and beef brisket categories. Our first place in ribs and a solid fifth place in beef brisket netted us an eighth place overall.
Congratulations to Grand Champion All Hogs Go to Heaven, and to Reserve Grand Champion Otis and the Bird, both consistent performers on the Southwest barbecue contest circuit. Our team’s not quite at their level of repeatable success just yet, but we’re working on it!

Oh man, those lucsious ribs are truly pornographic. I’m with Elmo, when will we be able to dine at the Four Q BBQ joint?

Congrats on the ribs! Great job.

Don’t hold your breath for a Prof Salt restaurant any time soon.
However, we have been talking about a Four Q Team fundraising BBQ and clinic. Any interest in that?
