    Sorry @gabriegger , forgot to mention seeing you there! Sorry you weren't able to cook, and, missed seeing your better half.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Great to see everybody again and meet Dawn and Bear. Disappointed I ended up cooking a good portion of my own stuff. Totally getting rusty at conning anybody into that part of it. Thanks for the couple of rounds you did Gary.

    Why did people get parking tickets?  Was the gate open and no attendant when you arrived in the morning?

    Basically, yes, that's what happened. I was also told that some people paid to park but did not get anything to put in the car to show that they had paid. Apparently some of these people also got parking tickets.

    @TexanOfTheNorth hey no worries pal. I was busy keeping that other half out of the store.  As always a fail.  Great peach cobbler once again!  @Little Steven I thought I heard you ask me to flip some skewers at one point but sorry my eyes were elsewhere...

    I must admit, the arrival of the guests for the "other" adjacent event had my eyes wandering on occasion as well.

    Not to mention the way the needle of the CN Tower made an appearance once the cloud cover was gone.

    I don't know if you all heard but there was some famous DJ at the club to the south. Hence the Lamborghinis and Ferraris. I think they were trying to pay for the Gardiner.

    Maybe @Canugghead jumped in one and took off as he's been pretty quiet.  Either that or he's in the basement processing all that film he shot.  Holy shutterbug Batman!

    Many thanks to all whom cooked and helped out, outstanding job. The wife and I had a good time stuffing our faces with all the tasty groceries. Great to have the chance to meet some of the forum peeps. We came away with a FlameBoss and a few good ideas to try out. Couldn't ask for better weather to boot.

    Since everyone did such a good writeup job, I'll just go straight to some photos from yesterday.  I tried to post food pic after the team that cooked it, of course I missed many teams and delicious dishes.













    Bacon Cinnamon buns




    Cajun lamb jambalaya


    Bacon banana loaves


    Brisket sliders


    Lineup for the above










    pork belly






    homemade jam and bread baked in BGE










    Marc, Mr. Cluck and Squeal




    pork belly


    ribeyes




    Burgers in bacon shell


    Nice T-shirt


    mango chicken


    Thanks Little Steven for letting me get the cooking bugs out of me, also for giving me some uncooked satay to take home.


    Little Steven's Indonesian satay


    I wonder how it turned out, forgot about it!


    Mr. KAB


    @BigGreenCraig demo'ing for a captive audience. Nice meeting you!


    Jack9 BBQ, these guys were cooking machines!


    whole lamb leg


    short ribs


    turkey drumsticks


    sinful desserts






    These folks market some nice wine barrels chips/chunks


    chicken with hint of oak and wine, really nice!


    Great to see few teams with future eggheads!


    someone decided to burn off the grease, hope the gaskets survived!
