    Hey @chad408, I've been a KCBS CBJ for a year now and have judged a few contests. The best advice I can give for garnish is keep it simple. We're taught to judge the appearance of the meat not the garnish. One preference of mine I think I can share is to not have very small chopped garnish in the box. It tends to stick to your entry and some people won't remove it if that happens, which means they'll be tasting the garnish along with your entry. As for taste I like some spice in my BBQ, but I know many judges that do not. I guess I'd say prepare something YOU think is delicious and don't try to chase the judges individual tastes too much, you never know who will judge your entry. Good luck, have a great time and let us know how it goes.

    Cheers -
