    Can't put a price tag on that.  Way to make it happen.  She is on a fast track to becoming a star in her own right.

    Danielle made her bones in the highly competitive, seriously male dominated comp circuit. She’s probably lots of things, but phony isn’t one of them.

    @marysvilleksegghead Norah Grace told her she’s willing to go on food network with her and Big Moe.  Funny thing, we just got invited to cook at an event in PA for BBQ Guru...next to Big Moe and Bob.   I’m kind of excited, but kind of nervous to cook next to that level of talent.  
    Please let us know if this will be on TV

    Congrats on the down-stream opportunities.  Key is to not let that level of participation interfere with her standard routine.  She obviously has talent and skill sets that will become showcased.  Your challenge is to keep the build-up at the comfort level she is in right now.  Easier said than done but the more you can down-play the hype the much better she will feel and execute.  FWIW-

    It’s just fun when we are asked to participate and do things.  It’s also nerve racking beyond belief for me. She handles it like a champ, I’m on edge the entire time

    I don't think I would have recognized her if she wasn't wearing that Diva Q hat. She's lost quite a lot of weight from what I remember from seeing her on some of those bbq competition tv shows from a few years ago. . Kudos to her!

    @EagleIII her company rib demo was amazing.  Hard to believe she scored a 179.6 at The Jack and got 11th with them.  She showed us 45 racks and every single one was the same.   The best advise we heard was trust the process. Then she gave Norah and I some help with the process.  Honestly she couldn’t have been more helpful.

    @Jcl5150  I sure can, when I get home tonight I will share her  competition sauce recipe. I don’t remember all of it off the top of my head, but she’s the first person I’ve ever heard say to temp ribs and wrap at 160°. She also suggested taking your ribs to  190° before you sauce. You will need to take your ribs up about 7 to 10° for the sauce to set. 

      during the wrap portion  of the cook, she uses squeeze butter no secret there, apple juice, Cholula chipotle hot sauce, and a little brown sugar.  The surprising thing about the hot sauce is that it reinforce the smoky flavor. Honestly one of the best ribs I’ve ever eaten, they were perfect, they pulled away from the bone cleanly where you bite; However, they were not overly soft. Hard to believe they were not a 180 rib.  

      As for measurements, it was about a cup of apple juice 4 tablespoons of the hot sauce and a quarter bottle of the squeeze butter 1c of brown sugar. This would provide enough for 3 racks of ribs. All of these measurements were via her eyeball, keep in mind these are a comp rib, so they aren’t going to be for everyone.
