Oh the places you'll go.......

When I entered the world of  competitive BBQ  a couple of years ago for fun, I had no idea how much a part of my life it would become, how many people I would meet because of it, and how many grown men would look at me with a look of awe and a tear in their eye and proclaim "Dude, that was the best meat I have ever had" just before giving me an appreciative bear hug.

 

Because of these types of reactions it so happened that I accompanied my friend and BBQ mentor Big Dan to a soiree at a lakefront Mercer Island home owned by Mr. Sun, a local succesful Seattle restaurateur and his wife.

Mr. and Ms. Sun were nice enough to invite us (and our smoked meats) for a Seafair party of about 40 people, whose attendance included the Taiwanese Consulate to the United States (!).

 

Definitely rarified air for a couple of humble North Seattle Realtors with a passion for BBQ.

We brought 3 briskets that had been smoked for 14 hours until they were fall apart tender and about 9 racks of our Blue Ribbon baby back ribs.

For me, the highlight of the afternoon was when Mr. Sun brought in live Jumbo Shrimp (still kicking!)and then proceeded to show Big Dan and I how to tear their heads off and eat the innards


Big Dan and I would both like to thank Ms. and Mrs. Sun, as well as Vince and Sandy for having us to the party. It was a great time and look forward to next year.
