Team Canada BBQ

Bright and early this morning, a bunch of my friends from Team Canada BBQ left Southern Ontario for the 900 mile trek to Memphis, Tenessee in order to attend Memphis in May World Championship BBQ contest, one of the largest Professional BBQ competitions in the World.

Team Canada BBQ is a federal not for profit corporation and is the official Canadian National BBQ Competition Team.  That's right folks.... BBQ is a sport with a national team.  They travel all over North America and recently competed at the World Food Championships in Las Vegas Nevada and placed 1st in Recipe division.

Last year at Memphis in May, they won 1st place BBQ sauce in a field of many hundred competitors.  Yes....  America's favorite BBQ sauce is made by Canadians, using Canadian Whiskey and Maple Syrup!!  :)

I wish my friends safe travels and best of luck in all their divisions this weekend.  

If you want to get a chance to taste Team Canada BBQ food, you're in luck.  They will be attending Summerfest in Cochrane, Ontario on August 8-10th.  They'll be serving up plenty of goodies.
