Brookline BBQ Competition
Brookline, NH
July 20-21, 2013
Brookline hosted a grilling competition this year, too. We really love them. We throw caution to the wind and experiment. Unfortunately, the judges don’t always appreciate our attempts. The categories were pizza, shrimp, steak and dessert. Cris and I were on our own for the weekend, but we got everything cooked and turned in so we consider it a success. We tried a fancy caramelized onion pizza, but it didn’t look pretty. Cris grilled up a bacon-wrapped, crab-stuffed shrimp that earned 2nd place! I tried a roulade for the steak, but I wasn’t happy with how the cheese filling came out. I tried a grilled polenta and plum dessert, but it didn’t come out right. It was too difficult to pull off well under pressure, and not sweet enough.

Day 2 was the tailgate. Again we got everything turned in, including people’s choice wings and pork. We won again! The wings came in 3rd place and our people’s choice wings came in 2nd. That actually earned us our first purse. We were so excited!
