This past weekend was Memphis In May – and we spent 4 days on the banks of the Mississippi cooking every kind of BBQ you can imagine… Pulled Pork, Brisket, Baby-Back Ribs, Sausage… plus all the fixins’ But the one thing I kept hearing everyone talk about was the BBQ Bologna.

This past weekend was Memphis In May. It’s the biggest contest we do each year – by far – and it takes us weeks to prepare… not to mention an entire week out there setting everything up, cooking catering for private dinners and lunches and just entertaining in general.

This past weekend we cooked in Ashland, Ms at their Southaven Sprinfest KCBS contest. And we scored another Grand Champion Win! And it feels good… real good… makes me want to do a little hollerin’ We got off to a bit of a rocky start. Had some problems with our truck, showed-up late and got [...]

I got this email the other day… Malcom, Good afternoon. Just wanted to let you know and say thank you for giving me the knowledge and courage to compete in my first comp. I entered the Backyard division at the Capital City Cookoff in Jefferson City, Missouri with my wife and we got called three [...]

I was happy to check the mail and find the official Memphis in May World Championship team packet. We’re still waiting on the official map, so we can see if we were fortunate enough to draw a river view spot. This is the first year we applied for one, and hope to have a great [...]

Grilling with Rich lets me do a guest blog post on the site every other Monday. And this week I talked about grilling sirloin steaks. I got a good deal on some last Friday and I was really happy with the way they turned out. My sirloin steak artcile on Grilling With Rich’s website Malcom [...]
