Travis Estes Barbecue Throw-Down

Here is a picture of me taking the judges steak up at the St. Louis Pork Steak Throw-down (@ the Piccadilly). I combined several Pitboy's techniques, rub, and dippin' sauce (tweaked a little to make it my own) and ended up 2nd. But to be fair - the team that one 1st pulled up in a smoker rig twice the size of my car, had a team of at least 6 and came from a bbq restaurant here in town that's been featured on Food Network twice. My buddy and I had a single Weber kettle and about 20 hours of watching BBQ PitBoys and that was it!

Thanks for the information, the entertainment and the great tasting food.

The steaks for the crowd and the popular vote - oh yeah it was a hot one!
