Out of Fire Cookers

Our 6 months cooking break came to an end as we ventured out to the RGV for Smokin' on the Rio BBQ Cook-Off in Mercedes. The valley has my heart and so many wonderful memories were made there as a kid so it was an easy decision. Even though I knew it would be a tough competition. Errrone knows the best of the best cook in the valley & almost 190 teams came to win!

At the end of the day I was ok with our results (except the 🐷)

🐓 #40
🐖 #16 (so close!)
🐷 #115 🙄
🐮 #29
Overall #31

Congratulations to the GC team Los Buzzards & RGC-Si Quema!!!

Ok..i got the bug again so where to next??

Happy Hump Day! We are 2 days away from the Texas BBQ Bash!

We are excited to be representing Ramsey-Pate Landscape Irrigation! Come out and see us! It’s sure to be a great time!

I love a spring time cookoff..and a bonus if it’s in my hometown & run by the best head judge in CBA Brenda Waters!

This weekend we cooked the All Fired Up Benefit cookoff in Pleasanton. I loved the sweet boy whos the recipient this year. He truly warmed our hearts.

Cook went as smooth as I hoped until turn in time..I wasn’t happy with some of our turn ins..but the judges thought otherwise (thank god!)

Blessed to come home with:

2nd Snake River Farms brisket
14th chicken
18th pork
38th ribs
Finished 8th overall out of 65 fabulous teams!!

Congratulations to Smoking & Toasting Cesar Mejia on a huge GC win and Triple Up bbq on a great RGC win and everyone who heard their song played!

As always, a BIG THANK YOU to Ramsey Robles Ramsey-Pate Landscape Irrigation for keeping the fires under control!

Thank you to Gulf Coast Smoke familia for the opportunity to represent and the swag bag!

We couldn’t do what I love without Gods grace & all the great products put out by great people.

In August I got a birthday gift from Ramsey that paid off this weekend. An all inclusive bbq class hosted by Regi-Q BBQ. It had been a year and 1/2 since I placed in the top 10 with chicken. But this weekend we finally broke that losing streak and came home with:
3rd place dessert
4th place chicken
7th place pork
10th place brisket
28th ribs 😳
Finishing just one out of the top 10.. #11 out of 37 great teams.

Congratulations to our friends from Beerbelly‘s BBQ on their super CG WIN & Bubba Bobbyrey Delgado on his amazing RGC! 🎉🎉

Thank you to our favorite head judge Brenda Waters for always running a smooth judging room. We appreciate all your hard work & dedication! 😘

Thank you to Vincent Regino & Joyce Regino for the great learning experience! (BTW, everyone who took their class walked this weekend).

And last but never least, thanks to my fireman, Ramsey Robles for letting me drag you all over for a bbq cookoff, setting up, breaking down, and most importantly keeping the fires burning. 🔥
