...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?

Congrats Bryan!
Very cool!
Sniff, sniff, and to think that only yesterday our little Bryan was in knee pants. Then POOF!!!! he grew up and moved on! Sniff!!!!!
Congrats!!! Did I miss the Dom?
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
That is COOL!
Congrats :)

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?
How great it is to be in the company of royalty
CONGRATS
I assume you get to eat for free now ... LOL assuming what they give you to judge is good
Sorce - The KCBS website has the info for the classes. Link is here http://www.kcbs.us/classes.php

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.
Thats cool Bryan, way to go.
DANG! They spelled my name wrong again! :D ;D Way to go buddy. Sure wish they had something up here like that. Good luck on your future competitions.
