Hello team! It’s been a couple of months since we’ve been in touch, since nowadays we in the BBQ off-season. However, we do have a competition coming up this month. This is a break from BBQ, a “just for fun” competition and excuse to get the team together: We will be competing in Best Memphis Burger Fest on Sunday, August 28 at Tiger Lane. Along with around 50 other teams, we will try to place at the top of Best Bloody Mary, Best Veggie Burger, Best Anything But Burger, and Best Memphis Burger. Although this event started off small several years ago, it’s not anymore: As many as 3 Burger Fest teams could qualify for the World Food Championships in Orange Beach, AL in November.

Frank and Erik took a burger class, held by Seth of the Best Memphis Burger blog and festival, last Saturday to learn the insider tips to make it to the top. Now it’s time to put what they learned to good use! This coming Saturday, August 13 at 6 PM, there will be a burger tasting for the team at Frank’s house, 87 N. Highland Street. Frank and Erik will be cooking several variations on what they learned, and they are looking for feedback from YOU on which burger recipe is the best.

If you can come, please RSVP to moodyques@gmail.com. This will let us know how much meat to buy for this event. BYOB, and the burgers are on us.
