ties for a cook-off. Friday night, cook-teams and guest at the contest enjoyed hearing one of their own, Dorsey Odell of Unknown BBQ Competition Cook Team take the stage as opening act for national recording artist Jamie Davis. As Saturday morning rolled around, the smoke had filled the air. Teams competed for over $13,000 in prizes in the categories of Brisket, Pork, Ribs and Chicken but only one could take home the grand prize and top bragging rights of the year. It couldn’t have been an easy feat with the teams on this roster but Thomas Henry
and his son Josh, who make up team Budmeister, made it a cook-off to remember adding his third Grand Championship of the season and taking home $3,150 in cash money. Team Budmeister finished the cook-off with a first place pork turn-in, fifth place ribs and ninth place chicken. Bill and Teresa Tanner, head cooks of B & T Cook Team, out of Thomasville, Georgia took home Reserve Champion with their third place brisket, seventh place pork and tenth place chicken at the competition.
