12th Annual D'Iberville BBQ Throwdown

D'Iberville, pronounced. D. Iberville is north of Biloxi. The City and D'iberville Gateway Group are hosting the 12th D'Iberville Annual BBQ Throwdown in the Scarlet Pearl Casino parking lot and the Coast Transportation Authority Center.

This is a professionally judged BBQ Festival.  I must get information on this....

Eric with Matt & Sarah of
Team Boomerang BBQ
from Lubbock, Texas

There are two levels of competition - - Masters Teams and  Backyard teams.  Each team is cooking and preparing their best Chicken, Pork, Pork Ribs and Brisket to Kansas City Barbeque Society Judges.  There are cash prizes totaling $8,000.00...  Wow!

Our Food  Is So Good....

It Should Be ILLEGAL!

This event is what RV
Party Decks were made for.

This Cabinet Smoker

is vented.

I closely examine this
BBQ trailer.







This is one of many types of BBQ trailers.

And the band played

Competitors & visitors
enjoy Country music
by Southern Halo.

This BBQ trailer has a roof

 & sides that lift up.

 I like the large work area.

Pork is gently separated

 the KCBS Judges.

B & B Better Burning Charcoal

Hickory Charcoal, Oak Lump

Tender "Q" B-B-Q Team

catches my eye.

Members of my mother's family, the Quennevilles, affectionately refer to themselves as Q Cousins.

Eric & I follow the 

"All Aboard" Choo-Choo

to the BBQ sampling

area.

We wait in line to buy tickets,

at $5.00 per person, for
The People's Choice Pulled

Pork Category.

There's a long table with
young people serving
BBQ.

Eric & I each taste 21

Pulled Pork samples.

They are numbered, so

no one knows who the

smoked the meats.

Eric and I voted for our favorite BBQs.  This is fun!

At last, Eric & I find where
the KCBS Judges are tasting
& judging BBQ.

This well organized group

is trained to judge BBQ.

They diligently follow the

Society's Rules.

Well fed and curiosity quenched, Eric and I visit the BBQ Festival's vendors.

We both wish that Chill Factory
would sell Wine Slushies.

Spinners   Cubes

Make Your Own Slime

This is a great argument for

enjoying Sugary Pralines.

I love The Fashion Carriage

Shoppers are invited to

browse inside the truck too.

Funny Eagle Foods sells

Nacho Fries, Tea, Hand

Dipped Corn Dogs....

Lemonade, Chicken on a Stick

& Loaded Fries

The weather is perfect and everyone is in high spirits, waiting for the KCBS Judges rulings and the People Choice Award for best BBQ.
