Ribs seared by flames
Ribs seared by flame #2
Ribs ready to eat
Pulled Pork BBQ
If you liked BBQ, which I do, which would you rather eat. These were being prepared for judging at the Boone Hall BBQ and Bluegrass thing. The judges eat all of the entries. Some bbq is sold by other companies for the people.
Everyone was very friendly. Two different people gave me cold water, the person who did the plate and the pulled pork, she and her husband gave me the most delicious rib with lots of great bbq d meat on it. They were from NC, the mtns, you all who also live there. Regionally bbq can be very different.
A lot of heavy feeling as to which is best. I forget the kinds, besides pork vs beef. Then there is mustard based, vinegar based and what all. NC and SC are not together on this.

i think a really cool shot would be someone close up, taking a bite of that succulent rib! not unlike that strawberry-eating shot you've noted of mine, ginger... btw- that's not my dw but a good friend of mine

That was difficult to show, then one guy went to lick his fingers, looked at me and stopped. That was as close as I came, but there would not have been food per se in the shot. I do have a photo of his finger in his mouth, but it looks posed. (Tomorrow I will work up the people I shot. I don't think they will work as well as the bbq itself, especially with the fire. But I will show what I have, very difficult to get this stuff, and I tried.)
The ribs were being threated almost reverently for this very serious contest/challenge. Here they were trying to win for their pork, and I was trying to photograph it, so I would have a shot for the challenge.
The pork? Beef? Those were for the judges. The judges, they were in their own tent, eating, it was all very secretive. I did take a photo of the rib they gave me, but after I had eaten a bit, not really in context. Event is over, can't reshoot. But I had to leave, I don't know which of those nice people won. I had to leave, could barely walk (birds, bluegrass and BBQ), and I was very worried about my dogs.
Two fun days, though. And I forgot to buy myself some bbq. I just sent Bill to get me a BBQ sandwich, best I can do for myself right now.
Thanks, though, Andy.

But in your first post, I definitley chose #3
I like pull pork quite a bit but #4 still doesn't look tasty.... Guess the shot actually makes you focus on the fat rather than on the meat.

Of the bunch, #2 works for me. Yummy!
