Sylvia -- Kansas certainly is the home for BBQ.  That is one of the places where the BBQ cannot be beat!  I will talk with my brother about bringing the BBQ contest to Marin county!  I am sure there would be a lot of Marinites that would enjoy some great BBQ.

Well at least it's not a "rockin' rib fest," which would seem to indicate that the ribs might need to be cooked more -- LOL.
