Won 2nd in a Peach BBQ sauce contest

[Hamilton Barnes]

The city of Atlanta had a competition at the Decatur Farmers market where you had to use fresh peaches in the sauce. I entered a smoked peach sauce and a chipotle bourbon peach sauce. I did not realize that it was a chefs contest. I was the only contestant that wasn't a chef at a Atlanta restaurant. The Smoked Peach sauce came in 2nd place and the bourbon peach came in 4th. I called myself front porch bbq because I keep the smoker on the front porch.

Here is a pic of me with the other winners. I am in the blue shirt and my buddy Craig who helped me is next to me in the brown apron. We beat like 12 or 14 Atlanta chefs.

Hey guys, here is a write up in a national food blog. Ironically I never told the writer that I wanted to open a restaurant but that is in the article.
