AUGUST 9, 2013 - FRANKLIN, NORTH CAROLINA - If you pay attention, you will notice about this time every year a fleet of Florida teams make there way up into the mountains. They claim it’s vacation if you ask the wives and children but it only takes a moment of talking to the “fella’s” to understand the truth of the matter. There is a cook-off in Dillard, Georgia one weekend and the next weekend is Franklin, North Carolina. These two towns are only about 5 miles apart even though they are in different states. It is the upper most corner of Georgia as far as you can get. Rob “Rub” Bagby was one of those Florida Boys that made the treck, and I bet he is glad he did. You may have seen him recently on BBQ Pitmasters

shown on Destination America where he competed in the Semi-Finals to be BBQ Pitmasters Grand Champion but was cut just short of doing so. My guess is, after this weekend in Franklin, North Carolina Rub isn’t too worried about all of that too much. When Rub took home Grand at the Mountain High BBQ Festival and Car Show, he clinched his seventh Grand Champion win this year which automatically qualified him to go to The 25th Annual Jack Daniels Invitational Cook-off coming up in October in Lynchburg, Tennessee. It has been rumored that Donny Bray of Warren County Pork Choppers did the same thing this same weekend in McMinnville, TN and I am sure a few more will do the same before it is over.
