A couple weeks back Logan and Nathanial’s barbecue team Tall & Meaty competed in a barbecue contest in Guthrie Center. It was there second contest they have entered as a team. They also entered the Pufferbilly Days Barbecue Contest. This was the first year of the Guthrie Center contest. It was coupled with a car show and was a fundraiser for their FFA Chapter.
The entry fee included all the meat. Then they sold plates for $5 to people that came and got samples from all the competitors. Then they voted in the People’s Choice Awards.
I think it was pretty successful. There were 5 teams that entered and a ton of people showed up to try the food. There were also a ton of cars in the car show.
While this was only the second barbecue contest for Tall & Meaty they are way ahead of the game in branding. They already have a logo, a banner, and shirts!
I don’t know why but one I hear Tall & Meaty I can’t help but think of the Chamillionaire song “Ridin'”. I just think it is a natural to change the lyrics to make it an anthem for their barbecue team.
They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’ and tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty
It just screams me to change the words “ridin’ dirty” to “Tall and Meaty”.
My music’s so loud.
I’m sWanging’
They hopin that gon’ catch me tall and meaty.
I mean, I’m not going to rewrite it for them, but somebody should!
But I digress. It was an overnight contest. They got to Guthrie Center on Saturday evening. I met up with them Sunday morning about 9 AM.
Here are some pictures from the day:
They did very well. They won Best Side and they Won Grand Champion!
I think this is a wrap on their competitive barbecue season. They considered a contest in Denison, but they both have a wedding to shoot that weekend. For somebody that clearly doesn’t understand that you don’t schedule your wedding during college football season and if you absolutely have to, you do it on a Sunday or a Friday or a Thursday. Really, Thursday weddings are the best. All weddings should be on Thursdays.
Next Sunday’s food adventure will probably return to the type of food adventure where I go somewhere and eat food.
Until then…
They see me rollin’
They hatin’
Patrollin’ and tryna catch me tall and meaty
Tryna catch me tall and meaty…
I greatly enjoy the lyrics change – it makes me think of this Who album:

That all looks delicious!
I didn’t know that album existed, but maybe there is something there, they can use.
They weren’t too receptive to my idea…. yet.
