I’ve had a lot of great moments this year — winning Top 40 Under 40, some amazing trips, an incredible 40th birthday celebration, and moving into a new house.
But this moment right here? This is what I’ve been training for my entire life. 😂🍖
I had an absolute blast being asked to judge Ribfest this year. Turns out, eating ribs, chicken and pulled pork while offering unsolicited opinions is a role I was born for.
Now I just need to figure out how to make this my full-time job.
🏆 Best Chicken: Sticky Fingers
🏆 Best Pulled Pork: Uncle Sam’s
🏆 Best Ribs: Camp 31
🏆 People’s Choice: Billy Bones
🏆 Mayor’s Choice: Camp 31
Huge thanks to everyone involved for having me — I take my civic responsibilities very seriously. Especially when BBQ is involved. 😂
