...KCBS Certified Judge! I would recommend the class if there is ever one in your area. You can't beat a class that serves you ribs, chicken, pork and brisket.

Congrats Bryan. If you flunk the course do you get to take it again? Seriously, what are the requirements to become a judge?

Just curious what the certification means for you? Does it mean you now get to judge things like the american royal BBQ competition and other local events?

Also where did you take this class? I need details  ;D

Bryan, maybe you can answer a question.  I read somewhere that KCBS judges are generally not "recognized" in Texas society competitions.  Strikes me as strange and probably inaccurate, but then Texas tends to like to do things its own way.  Have you heard anything similar, and if so who does sanction or certify the judges in TX?

Brad,

It really isn't anything hard. It is a 4 hour course. The first two hours they go over how the judging works, rules, etc.

The final two hours are the best part. They put you through a mock competition where you judge chicken, ribs, pork and brisket. They make sure you can tell if a turn in box is illegal by putting in greens that can't be used, wrong amount of meat, things like that.

Even though i am going to try and judge some competitions the main reason i took the course is to see exactly how the food is judged since I am starting to enter some competitions. If anyone else is planning on getting into competition cooking I would recommend it. It really was a fun class and a years membership in the KCBS goes along with it.

They went over this a little. It depends on what association is sanctioning the events since they all have variations on the rules and I believe they said certain associations in Texas have the biggest differences on how the food is judged.
