Wiregrass Tri-State BBQ Festival !

Each year, the Wiregrass area holds a Tri-State (AL, GA, FL) BBQ Contest here in Dothan! Hundreds compete for prizes and the coveted title of BBQ Master ! And thousands come to enjoy the free (yes! free) BBQ sliders as well as the festival atmospher -- and all that entails !


(I kept Oreo on a leash --- didn't want anyone mistaking her for a "live sacrifice" ... just sayin'!)



There was plenty of friendly competition! And the smells were just wonderful ! But I really liked the names ... "Hog Rules" -- "Big Daddy's" -- "Divine Swine" ... cute, huh?



After standing in line for only a "few" minutes, I got to finally taste a BBQ slider! Mine was from tray #3, and it was D-LISH !!! I voted for it! I could have tried all of them if I wanted to but look at the size of that slider ! One was enough !



Oreo could have cared less -- all she wanted was some shade ! And Jordan? Well, she's twelve.... nuff said.

As we were leaving, I saw a sign that read "New Orleans style Beignet". What? Had I miraculously slipped into some surreal black hole and been transplanted somewhere other than LA? (Lower Alabama).... no! It was real !!! And the apple filled beignet was out of this world D-Lish !! (Even if Jordan threw a fit because I took a picture of it -- it was still D-Lish !!)
