Congratulations, Garry Howard! Don't guess you'll give up any secrets of your team's rib recipe? Perfect score, Wowee! I know Jeff won't toot his own horn so I'll mention that he won a whole lot of things there. He won Best of Show in the Hot Sauce category (Roasted Tomato Pepper Sauce) and the Hottest Hot Sauce category (The Habanator...I love that name!) along with about 20 or so awards total for peppers and sauces and other stuff. Someone stole his bottle of Habanator by the second day of the festival...backhanded compliment I guess. Congrats to you, too, Jeff! I didn't realize this was such a big festival on the East Coast till I read up at the web site for it, over 30,000 visitors there last year. Was it similar sized this year you guys? (notice how easily I shift from "y'all" to "you guys", I can speak wicked good East Coast when I have to.)
