Bill and Teresa Tanner, Team B & T BBQ Accept the Award for First Place Chicken moments before being annouced as the 2011 Triple Crown Champions.
If you are around the BBQ circuit, here in the Southeast, a team you haven’t been able to miss in 2011 is B & T BBQ. Bill Tanner and his crew are at almost every competition I go to. Back in April this team took the Grand Champion prize in Dothan, AL and very few would have predicted that B & T would be taking home the Triple Crown for 2011, on December 10, 2011. Bill Tanner took home this prize turning in a first place chicken, eighth place pork and a first place brisket helping them to outscore the Team of the Year, Git-R-Smoked by not even ten points. Terry McKay with Git-RSmoked held on to the second place position turning in a second place chicken, first place ribs, and fifth place pork. Despite the fact Terry did not get to take home the Triple Crown, he surely had
an amazing year. Dana “Big Papa” Hillis took home third overall in this event with a fifth place chicken, third place ribs, and seventh place pork. Kenny Nadeau, Uncle Kenny’s BBQ took home fourth overall with a third place brisket, and eighth place ribs. Forrest Dilmore, head cook of Forrest’s Fine Foods closed out the top five for the Triple Crown. GB’s BBQ took sixth with Foy Whatley’s Barbeque Crew finishing sixth. Foy had a tenth place chicken, ninth place ribs, and sixth place pork. Damon Wooley and his BBQ Mafia had a seventh place ribs taking eighth place overall. Getta Grip BBQ turned in a seventh place chicken, sixth place ribs, and a second place brisket coming in ninth overall. U Rub Me Raw took home a first place pork finish but rounded out the top ten for the Florida Barbecue Triple Crown event. See Page...10

tenth place ribs and brisket and a seventh place chicken. Dana “Big Papa” Hillis was right behind taking home Reserve Champion with his ninth place chicken, fifth place pork, and third place brisket.
