Hi everyone!
I had the opportunity to attend the Vista BBQ Classic a KCBS sanctioned event yesterday (July 26th)here in San Diego. I really regret not taking more pictures,but would love to share some of the pictures I have with you.
I'm not much of a story teller but I'll do the best I can.
The event was held at Historic Downtown Vista. They literally shut down a mile square of city streets to hold the event. It was like a little town of BBQ pitmasters,beer garden and live music. The smell of smoke and aroma of the food was sensational!
It was a nice sunny day in the high 70's and low 80's. There was a little wind which I thought might of been a factor in the cook.
Upon entering I found a booth that sold BBQ sampling tickets
At the Pechanga comp the tickets were raffle tickets but at Vista they were chips
After the final turn in I got to hang out with Jerry A and wife Lupita of Burnin and Lootin.He was located next to the big music stage. So instead of listening to the Tri Tip guy this time they got to listen to some music!
When the judges were released got to hook up with Bob Bass and wife Maryann. From the left Lupita,Jerry A,Maryann and Bob Bass
After the above photo was taken, Bob and Maryann took me around the circuit and introduced me to everyone! He knows everybody! One of our stops was at Steve A's Vicious Smoke.From the left Steve A,me and Bob. Theres something about this picture I'll let you figure out!
Before I left, Jerry A's wife made me a packet of food to take home. When I got home I opened the packet and my jaw dropped to the ground and was shouting in joy!The packet had everything in it ribs,chicken,pork and brisket all nicely organized! You can tell it came from a pitmaster!
I tried to recreate the packet on the plate to get a better picture. The food was out of this world delicious! Thanks Jerry A and Lupita!
I did not stay for the results so I hope Bob Bass or the pitmasters will add to this thread.
Thanks for looking!
