COMPETITION: World Burger Championship
QUALIFYING EVENT: Best Memphis Burger Fest
We have been actively involved in competitive cooking since 2000. My Mother was pregnant with me while my father competed in the first ever Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Competition. I am a founding member of a highly successful cooking team, Smoke Masters, based out of Memphis, TN. We compete or practice at least 40 weeks a year. During those competitions or practices we are always experimenting with either whole hog, whole pork shoulder, pork ribs, chicken, hot wings, burgers, and many other dishes. **Invited to every Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Cooking Contest from 2005 to 2013** **Currently are in the Top 15 Teams in Memphis BBQ Network rankings** **2012 Memphis Best Burger Competition Grand Champion, 1st Place Extreme Burger, 2nd Place Anything But Burger** **2012 Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Contest Finalist, 3rd place Ribs** **2012 Southaven Spring Fest 2nd Place Ribs** **2011 Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Contest 11th place ribs** **2011 Variety Club 1st place Exotic** **2011 Southaven Spring Fest 3rd place Whole Hog and 3rd Place Ribs** **2011 National Rippin Rips Tour sponsored by Gnarly Head Wines Grand Champion, Kansas City, MO** **We have won over $12,000 in prize money since 2005**
