The Big Island BBQ State Championship is growing at a time when many barbecue competitions are feeling the pinch of the lagging economy.Event organizer Perry Vining said the Big Island BBQ has 62 teams registered as of Tuesday. He had merely 24 teams as of Aug. 13.
“In one week and a half, we went from 20 to 60. It’s just unreal. I was surprised with the economy the way it is,” Vining said.

Nice, but pork isn't as good as beef generally and tenderloin with A-1 is hard to beat. Although after a few beers, it's all good. Lean Angus and A-1 with lobster or shrimp on the side is the way to go. In the old days we called this Surf N' Turf. Barbecue is nice but you're mostly tasting sauce and pork is peasant meat. I'd Rock it first class with our Asian friends taking care of the surf portion. The old Wongs in Manly Iowa was insane. The best butterfly shrimp known to man. I'm serious, Wongs shrimp was to die for, served with a stack of white bread and butter but beautifully lightly battered.
I'm delegating Goddamn it and I'm putting the Asians in charge of the lobster and shrimp and the Greeks in charge of the Angus...Geo will bring the beer and I'll bring the grass and life will be good again, I promise. Let's stop this nonsense.
