Sam's Club National BBQ Tour

Back to back competitions are difficult for us. All three of us have jobs, and our two kids are at all kinds of summer camps which require constant changes in driving schedules. We persevered and gave this our best shot, but had some major snafus.
Even when buying your meat from a great distributor and taking every care with food storage, something can go wrong. We opened our rib cryovac pack on Friday night, and the ribs had gone bad. Thank goodness for a grocer near the competition site that opened at 7pm on Saturdays. Cris and Chuck rushed over there (after a donut run) to get new ribs. That set our timing off, and sometimes that's all it takes. We really didn't do well today.
On the bright side, and I try hard to always find the bright side, we found a great restaurant called Chicago Dogs.

They even make their own neon green relish. These were awesome!
