We are proud to announce that our pork entry finished in 2nd place in a field of 90 of the best teams in the World, narrowly missing first place by a half point. We extend our congratulations to Diva Q, a good friend and fellow Canadian who took top honors in this category. Canada can cook barbecue!

On August 7 we competed in the inaugural "Battle of the BBQ's in North Battleford, SK and once again were crowned Grand Champions!
