Putting it to the Test
The teams have 15 minutes to plead their cases to the judge.
The spokesperson explains every twist of the team's technique before sitting down to serve. In turn, the judge asks several
detailed questions. "There is a bit of a dance between the judge and the cooker," says MIM-certified judge Bill Gage. "Both
are extremely serious and desire to be the very best at what they do." After a tasting of the barbecue and sauce, the presentation
ends and then the teams nervously bide their time until the announcement of results late in the afternoon.
