In my other thread several people suggested doing a people's choice to help raise money for our charity (at our BBQ competition). This is something we had already thought about and I love this idea. However, I need people's opinions about how to do this. I know there are basically 2 ways to do this. Either the blind method where you give the competitors the meat (typically 2 pork butts) then someone collects the meat and the public samples all of the blind samples in one location. The other way would be the teams to hand out samples at there areas. I like this because it promotes interaction between the people and the teams. I know it may not be as fair, more of a popularity contest. But I think the people would like it better. I really think the people would enjoy talking to each team. Another draw back would be if the teams have the help/time to do this.
Any oppinions or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
