I am a loyal reader of
Yum Sugar..... that is pretty much the first and last website i check everyday and night.... and one of my favourite part is the listing of all the food related event happening around the States......However, living in Toronto before I never actually had the chance to attend any of the listed events... until this past week!
Well I guess is also because I now live in the States :)......
anywaz, I went to the
Best of the West Rib Cook off this past week..... well the reason i wrote this past week is because i actually went twice :P..........Well partly because i love ribs... but it is also because I went with two different group of friends and they all wanted to go and I just can't say no to that :)
I have never seen so much meat, BBQ sauces and bones piling around like that...............it was totally a carnivore's heaven or as BTE would say..... "It is the burning man of ribs!!!"..............In combination of the two days of my attendance, I think I managed to taste about 8 different store..... I think my personal favourite for BBQ sauce was
Famous Dave's devil's spit and my favourite rib was
Rasta Joe I like their Island Fire BBQ sauce too....but the celery seed addition in the Famous Dave's sauce ultimately won my heart.......
I have this say I was a little overwhelmed by the experience.... the big crowd at a hot summer reno/sparks night......but if you like some messy, sticky finger experience and lots of meat.... I definitely recommend it. However, if you can try to go on a weekday..... way more enjoyable, I have to say
Sorry about the pictureless posting lately..... still on the hunt of a camera...... hopefully I will find one soon :)
