Pechanga BBQ Championship June 2012

We had the pleasure of attending Pechanga Resort & Casino's 1st annual Pro BBQ Championship in Temecula, CA

We all gathered into the casino...okay, not the "Casino"...but a conference room in the casino, and relaxed after a long, hot day, and a very long weekend.

...Just when we least expected it, half-asleep and maybe a little loopy...

...They announced our name for 10th place in Chicken!


This is about how excited we were...



and one judge left the following comment about our ribs:

Our pitmaster definitely deserved it! He works so hard to bring the best BBQ to people throughout the year and now we have our first trophy!


You go Ron! The whole Daddy O's team took a moment together to snap a quick team photo and send hugs all around. What a great day!

Orange County BBQ & Music Festival June 2012

It's our favorite competition! Que'n for Kids put on their first 2 day event: the Orange County BBQ & Music Festival.

As always, all proceeds go to Kristie's Foundation fo help improve the lives of terminally-ill children. Support for them was bigger this year than ever before.

It was a large event and a lot of people came out to support the cause and enjoy the day. They had a ton of features, including a performance by Sugar Ray, beer & wine tasting, car shows, and strongman Nick Best lifted the atlas balls!

We actually had more smoked WAY more tri-tip than we had customers (70lbs), so we donated it back to the Kristie's Foundation. I hope they were able to use it.

What a great day! So much great BBQ, family and, of course, the Hot Dog Man. What could be better?
