Little Know Facts
 
Winning a State BBQ Championship is no easy task.

The judges are BBQ experts themselves and expect perfection.
BBQ is judged by three categories:
  25% Presentation
  25% Tenderness and
  25% how it pulls from
  25% the bone
  50% Taste
 
 
Anyone can win a State BBQ Contest if they have a plan and stick to it, pay attention to detail, and pray a lot, an awful lot.

The best BBQ in the world is the BBQ you cooked last time.

Fairbanks BBQ King wins big at the
2007 Alaska BBQ Championships

Big Daddy's BarB-Q judged "Best Brisket BBQ in the State of Alaska", 3 years running.July 22, 2007

Harold Groetsema, the King of BBQ in Alaska, retains 3 year title for Best Brisket in Alaska at the Alaska State BBQ Championships held at Pioneer Park in Fairbanks, Alaska.

The competition was particularly close this year as the event is gaining national fame.  Teams from as far away as Texas recognize the Alaska State BBQ Championship as a path to the Jack Daniels National Championship in Lynchburg Tennessee.  We were out to show them otherwise

Bottom line is that Big Daddy's BarB-Q team beat out the Texans in the food item they are best known for . . . the Brisket.  How does an Alaskan beat out a Texan at Brisket?  We're not telling.  The Brisket we prepared at the competition is prepared exactly the same as what we serve at Big Daddy's BarB-Q Restaurant.  Same source for our meat, same secret rub, same 12 hour slow cook, same everything except for the extra care we take in our presentation.  Alaska State Champion, 1st Place, Best of BrisketTake a look at our presentation and you'll understand why the Texans didn't stand a chance. 

Big Daddy's BarB-Q has won 1st Place for Brisket in the Alaska State Championship in 3 out of the last 3 years.


Big Daddy's BarB-Q received 3 other awards at the 2007 Alaskan BBQ Championship, including
  • 1st Place for Best of Alaskan Seafood,
  • 3rd Place for Best of Pork Butt, and
  • 3rd Place for Best of Chicken.
