OK, OK…so this is completely new territory for me. While I learned to program in the age of punch cards and cut my teeth on an Apple II, I have been reluctant to join the online ‘blogosphere’ as it seems that I’ve always got something tugging at my attention which is more important at that moment.
Regardless, I am beginning this journey to share the ‘word’ about our BBQ Catering Company: GreatQ4U! (GreatQ4U.com) of course, but more than that I am hoping that this can be my online repository for all of the great things that I run into during the course of running a busy catering company. From the people and places that I experience to the unforgettable memories of “Q” that I have had a chance to experience.
This is our first year of Competition as a BBQ Team on the Kansas City BBQ Society circuit and despite my plan to attend many competitions this summer, business fortunately was better than expected and competition opportunities limited…no complaints! In fact, many thanks to all who chose to experience some GreatQ in the Central Pennsylvania area.
Our sole competition this year so far was back in May at the ‘Pork-In-the-Park’ event in Salisbury, MD. Our experience was tremendous and our results better than expected! 84 teams competing in an intense national event is certainly something to behold. My most significant impression was the amount of comraderie and help was available! Everyone was more than happy to help each other…a true community of BBQ nuts!
I also completed the class and became a KCBS ‘Certified BBQ Judge’ this year, something that I’ve wanted to do for many years now! I have yet to judge my first competition (if you’ve got one coming up and need help…let me know!), but the experience was a good one!
That’s about it for now, I’ll keep the posts coming!
