TVWBB Super Fan
It was great meeting everyone yesterday. It's good to put a face to the names here online. I see Tony and Maribel (and her brother) at every other contest. They are great people and great cooks (check out their instagram some time...always cooking up something good). I was dead tired, but seeing the brotherhood come together to visit TVWBB teams gave me a lift.
Meeting Chris in person was awesome. He and this website along with Harry Soo are the biggest reason I am competing today. I can't really put into words how much I've been influence in my BBQ journey by him and the members of this forum. And, to have him, Harry, and TVWBB members there in-person to see me win my first KCBS Grand Championship means so much to me. It validates all the time (and money) that I've spent chasing that Holy Grail and then when I find it, I realize it's great relationships that I've made with all the people during my journey are what's the real prize.
I feel privileged to be a part of this community and I'll never take that for granted. Even if you don't see my name for a while, don't worry...I'm still here...lurking. And if that's not enough then come by and see me in October in Kansas City...at the Royal, baby!!!!!!!!!

Wait a second...we gotta give it up for JerryA...his team Burnin' and Lootin' took 4th place overall, 2nd in chicken, 10th in pork...not a bad showing!!!!
Great to meet you yesterday, Jerry!
Plus he had to listen to that tri tip guy all day and didn't go insane or kill somebody!!!

LOL! "Lemme tell you about our tri tip rub. You just rub it, leave it, let it set and grill it it's as simple as that!"
Wow, dude. Is it really that simple? LOL. It was like listening to a broken record. I could hear him all the way across the street...non-stop...for hours!

Sounds like a pretty kickass meet up weekend!!! Congrats to the Grand Champ!!!
Congrats to Steve on the GC! That was a tough field.
Absolute pleasure chatting with Chris and his friends and Tony, whom I didn't recognize but whose wagon I did.
And yes, that tri tip guy whose speakers were pointed directly at my site... couldn't even hear my teammate who was standing 3 feet away from me.

John and I tried the tri tip and it needed salt. Plus we discovered he was using a gas grill.

Great meeting you Jerry and your lovely family.

I'm going to post the pic we took as soon as I get home.
We had such a great time meeting TVWBB members and competitors using WSMs. Most teams using WSMs were familiar with TVWBB, but not all, so it was good to connect with them.
The weather was great, warm but not oppressively hot during the day, with a moderate breeze in the mid- to late afternoons and very pleasant in the evenings. The venue at Pechanga Resort and Casino was wonderful. Always fun to combine barbecue and gambling! And Henry Silvestre organizes a very nice event. As far as I could tell as an observer and visitor, all went smoothly. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better weekend!

My wife Julie and I got packed-up the night before and left San Jose on Friday morning at 6:00am for the long drive to Temecula in Riverside County. We headed down US-101 to Gilroy, then east on US-152 to I-5, then took that long, long drive down the Central Valley, full of almond orchards and wine grapes and tomatoes as far as the eye could see.
We stopped in Lost Hills for a pit stop and driver exchange, then pressed ahead, up and over the notorious Grapevine, through Tejon Pass, past Pyramid Lake, and down into the Santa Clarita Valley. We marveled at the spaghetti of roller coasters at Magic Mountain as we speed past.
Transitioned to I-210 in Sylmar and got to Pasadena for lunch at 11:20. Not bad...5 hours 20 minutes. We had the amazing pastrami dip sandwich at The Hat in Pasadena. If you've not been and you like pastrami, you need to go. Get the pastrami dip, a small order of fries (huge order in a brown paper bag, more than enough for two people, available with gravy, cheese, and other toppings if you're looking for caloric overload) and a soda and you'll be a happy camper.
We shared one sandwich and fries in an attempt to maintain something resembling heart health. Service is fast at The Hat and we were hungry, so we were back on the road quickly, just before noon. Took I-210 to US-57, south on US-71, east on US-91, and finally the last leg down I-15 into Temecula at about 2:00pm...so about 8 hours door to door.
I had tried for a reservation at the casino but no rooms were available, so we ended up staying at the luxurious LaQuinta Inn & Suites. Room was nothing special, but clean and comfortable, which is about all you can really ask for.
After a little nappy, we headed down to the venue to connect up with Henry Silvestre, the organizer of the event. He was kind enough to give us credentials that would allow us to enter and exit the event as if were were competitors. This gave us access to both the people's choice area and the non-people's choice area. The venue was divided into two camps...the larger people's choice where most contestants could be expected to sell samples to the public, and the smaller non-people's choice area where contestants were not selling samples. The PC area would be busy and loud, crowded with people, lots of music, and the beer would be flowing...the non-PC area would be quieter and more focused. But you couldn't move freely between these two zones without the proper credential, and that's what Henry did for us. Greatly appreciated, that was.
My wife had never met Harry Soo, and that's where she wanted to head first. So we wandered over there, only to find Harry hosting a group of Pechanga firefighters in front of a splayed-out pig. And he was wielding some sort of medieval injection device.
Harry Soo injecting whole hog with help from members of the Pechanga Fire Department.
When your pig has fallen and it can't get up, a paramedic is just the ticket to administer the necessary injection.
Harry invited my wife to try her hand at injecting the hog. I tried it, too, but there's no photographic evidence so I guess it didn't happen. I got to man one corner of the grate and help lift her into the Meadow Creek pig cooker. No photo of that, either...felt like a pallbearer.
Harry finishing up the whole hog injection with that super-trick 4-needle injector from Steve Botkin of DesperadoBBQ.
Good night, sweet pig. Sleep tight, we'll be eating you tomorrow afternoon.
After hanging out with Harry for a while, we wandered around and met some other teams using WSMs and said hello and handed out TVWB pins.
We attended the team meeting at 5:30pm. Organizer Henry Silvestre was kind enough to allow me to introduce myself to the assembled crowd. They went over all the rules and logistics for the competition.
For dinner that evening, we ended up over at Paul Richardson's camp site over at the RV park next door to the casino. It's a clean, spacious facility, and if you're into RVing, you should check it out. Paul and his wife Tami were so gracious to us. Paul grilled a wonderful dinner of carne asada and chicken with warm tortillas and Tami had prepared all the side dishes and fixings, including a special flavored iced tea. We had a great time visiting with them for several hours, a very memorable evening!
On Saturday, we arrived at the venue at about 11:00am. Here's a shot of the entrance area to the venue behind the casino. Things were really hopping. We bought some sampling tickets at $2 a piece and started cruising around. Contestants were busy preparing for their first turn-in of chicken at 12:00pm. We tried not to bother anyone, just said a quick hello to a few folks and handed out more TVWB pins to folks using WSMs.
This sight caught my eye...TVWBB member Tim Wong flying our banner proudly at his booth!
We wandered over past Harry's booth and caught a glimpse of his finished whole hog, looking all sauced up and ready to be arranged for presentation on a big platter. Some pieces were separated and placed back inside the carcass before cooking, if you're thinking that photo looks funny. It had finished cooking quite early and they just held it in the pit until it was time to prepare it for presentation at 2:15pm.
There was a big crowd around Harry's booth, people watching his every move. Here's a shot of Harry working on his pork entry, ignoring the assembled crowd and focused like a laser on selecting just the right pieces of meat for his turn-in.

It had finished cooking quite early and they just held it in the pit until it was time to prepare it for presentation at 2:15pm.
There was a big crowd around Harry's booth, people watching his every move. Here's a shot of Harry working on his pork entry, ignoring the assembled crowd and focused like a laser on selecting just the right pieces of meat for his turn-in.
Continued...
The turn-ins were standard KCBS times of 12:00 for chicken, 12:30 for ribs, 1:00 for pork, and 1:30 for brisket. The turn-in time for the special whole hog contest was 2:15pm. As soon as the regular turn-ins were complete, I visited with the guys from Dead Pig Walking to see how their day went. They felt pretty good about their chicken but not so hot about everything else. I tried a piece of their brisket and I thought it was pretty good!
It was right about then that all the TVWBB folks met-up and said our hellos. After talking for a while, we headed down toward Harry's booth to hang-out and take a photo with him. From left to right: Greg B, John Solak, Harry Soo, Angel D, and Tony R. Harry was kind enough to share some brisket and whole hog samples with the TVWBB crew. Sort of a "Slap Yo' TVWBB" moment.
I've got to get into the action...I'm in this shot, on the left.
Bob Bass showed up at Harry's booth and we escorted the TVWBB crew across the street to the non-PC area to visit with our own SteveA, Steve Aguilar of Vicious Smoke. He shared some chunks of brisket with us...a real treat! It was great to meet him and we all had a nice visit and took some photos. Steve was tired and not very upbeat about how he had done. Little did he know what was about to happen...
We wandered back across the street and dropped in on our own JerryA of Burnin' and Lootin'. Great to meet him, also. He, too, was about to get some good news in a couple of hours at the awards ceremony.
At some point, I got separated from my wife and when I went to check on her, she was getting sunburned and needed to go inside the casino to get out of the sun and cool off. I got separated from the TVWBB gang at that point and didn't get to say goodbye, which I feel bad about. Sorry guys, I apologize for that.
Awards ceremony started at 5:30pm in a nice, big air-conditioned ballroom. Perfect. Everyone can't wait to hear the results!
SteveA takes 4th in chicken, 7th in ribs, 4th in pork, just misses the top 10 in brisket with 11th, and takes the GC trophy! I took this photo just after he got the award, and he was so flummoxed that he was doubled-over, hands on knees, not knowing what just happened!
After things had calmed down, a great photo of Steve and his family with the trophies and a big check from Snake River Farms.
Our own Tim W, Tim Wong of Dead Pig Walking took 9th in pork!
Harry & team took 6th in pork and 2nd in whole hog. I'm sure it was my wife's injection technique that made all the difference.
Sadly, I didn't get a photo of our own JerryA of Burnin' and Lootin' with his trophies for 2nd in chicken, 10th in pork, and an overall showing of 4th place. Awesome job!
We congratulated all the folks we knew who won and shot some photos of SteveA and his family outside the casino with the trophies and check. We said our goodbyes and headed back toward our hotel. Since the bbq samples were kind of small, we were actually hungry that evening and had some good pizza at Filippi's Pizza Grotto right across the street from our hotel. That and a slice of shared cheesecake and we were set!
Got back to the hotel, showered, and I headed back to the casino for some slots. Quickly lost $100 and headed back to the hotel! I made my contribution to the Pechanga Indian Reservation!
After a good night's rest, we headed out at 10:00am and made our way back home. Stopped again at The Hat for another of those amazing sandwiches. Also stopped just 3 miles away to grab a quick look at the Rose Bowl. No time to dilly dally, we've got to get on the road! Passed a wildfire in Glendora. Hit traffic heading out of the LA Basin on I-5, as usual. Our return trip was about 30 minutes longer than the initial drive, clocking in at 8 hours 30 minutes.
Glad to be home, but glad we made the effort to get down to SoCal to take in the event and meet so many nice people! Maybe I'll see if I can judge at Pechanga next year...
