Drove 90 miles to a cookoff in Abilene and the brisket judge never showed up
Three weeks back I paid $75 to enter a small cookoff outside Abilene and hauled my offset pit 90 miles on a trailer that lost a wheel bearing halfway. The organizer told us at 6am the head judge had a family thing, so his brother in law judged brisket instead, and that man cut into my flat with a fork and said it was dry. How do you all handle it when a contest swaps out judges at the last minute, do you just eat the loss or say something?
