    I'm a KC local and my realtor competes in it and invites all his clients every year to eat at his tent for all the meat he doesn't send in for judging. Even the cast offs are delicious! He did a wagyu brisket last year that was like smoked meat butter it was so juicy. I think he placed in the Top 100.

      Idk, I think that there are ways of making sure palettes are cleansed every once in a while for food judges. The way food looks is also a major factor, which is probably the greater factor for the larger food competitions. Flavor is so important, but the way it looks is also important.

  • @um931
    @um931 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +143

    Judges are looking for a specific flavour. Heavy on sauce and spices. Aaron Franklin did a competition and summed it up perfectly. They are looking for a very specific definition for brisket etc not neccessarily what the best BBQ spots sell.

  • @Ais4Drew
    @Ais4Drew 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I’ve been seeing a lot of comments about “how can they really judge the competitors offer a few bites” and wanted to mention some things I’ve heard from my short time in the industry that reinforces that exact idea.
    Trophies are nice. I don’t have any for my cooking/BBQ. But I do have a ton of friends and family who have smiled and told me that my brisket is “better than their dad’s” or “some of the best I’ve ever had”. Most seasoned cooks and chefs have told be the same thing.
    Competition is a young man’s game. They can be fun, stressful, and more work than it’s worth sometimes. A good award can really start your career off strong too. It can also give your carer a big boost as well - And props to superstar chefs (young and old) who grind it out and can perform at that level. But there’s a lot of politics, vanity, and inconsistency (as we saw in the video) that comes with these competitions and that coveted award - whatever it may be.
    A trophy will never replace the joy of nourishing and sharing a meal with those you care about. People get into this industry because they want to feed, entertain, and bring joy to their community. You don’t need a ton of bling to do that. 😎

      That's with any human competition. But there are a group of people that consistently perform better than others like Myron Mixon and Tuffy, and people like that, so you can't simply chalk it up to politics, vanity, etc. There are people who are just better at BBQ competitions than others.

    @Ted_P 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    There are some questions and misconceptions in the comments. Competition BBQ really isn’t the same as restaurant or home cooked BBQ. It is prepared to a specific standard based on (in this case) KCBS judging. It’s judged on appearance, taste and texture with taste weighted 4 times more than appearance in the score calculations.
    This is a World championship as the KCBS is an international organization sanctioning contents in a good number of countries. For example, Australia, Italy, Netherlands…. Of course, travel to the US and securing equipment and food would likely be prohibitively expensive.
    Not as much food is wasted as it appears. Judges are allowed to take home what they judged and left overs are collected and shared with staff and volunteers and in some cases donated.
    Anyone can be a judge. You will need to join the Kansas City BBQ Association and sign up for a Certified BBQ Judging course.
    My experience is with KCBS, there are many other organizations that sanction events.

      @@jordanbabcock9349 First of all, there are food competitions around the world in many different countries and they don’t feel the need to add “world” to their name to feel important, also anyone in the world can participate in them. That is just common sense, doesn’t matter their background or where they come from, for example if there is a bbq competition in Brazil, they are not gonna prohibit participants that come from abroad, as long as they sign up properly. The difference is that competitions that actually are “world competitions” make an effort to make preliminaries locally in a myriad of countries in the hopes of representing as many nationalities as possible and only then choosing the best of each countries to participate in the finals somewhere, where yes, could be the USA, but the procedure of how it got there is important.
      Second, bbq is not something exclusive from USA, what is shown here is American style bbq and other countries have different styles.
      Third, as long as preliminaries were held like I said in my first argument, this imaginary “Wold Sushi Championship” might as well be held in the USA, after all as you said it needs to be held somewhere.

    Without a control, who knows which judge values and recognises a particular taste / flavour / texture, what could be perfect for one may be too salty / not salty enough / too soft / not enough bite etc for others. Rolling the dice really.

      I don’t think barbecue is much of a thing outside the US. Mexicans do it but I feel a lot of it is adopted from US culture. Asian countries definitely got a yummy twist on BBQ. In any case, BBQ is actually getting out there in the world. I was very surprised to find Texas style ribs as a special at a Belgian restaurant in downtown Brussels.

      That's restaurant style bbq and they would come in dead last in this competition serving what they have at the restaurants in this competition. Grant is cooking two SRF Gold briskets that costs about $240 each and cutting 70% off it off and just throwing it away so his slices will fit perfectly in the box with bark all around. It's also packed with so much salt and flavor you wouldn't actually want to eat more than one slice. The judges pallets get so shot the competitors have to keep packing in more and more flavor.
