Brisket Contest

We entered a Brisket cook-off yesterday. I had high hopes for this contest. There were about 30 teams entered I made a brisket with my standard brisket rub. Expect with a extra amount of brown sugar to give it a little sweeter flavor that judges love. I felt the finished product came out really well, however we did not place in the top 3.

I did learn some interesting twists on cooking brisket. One team told me about dipping a brisket in milk and then rubbing it, another team soaked there brisket in whiskey and beer for a few hours before rubbing it. The team that ended up it third ended told me they covered theirs in thousand island dressing before rubbing it. I am going to have to try that next week.

Here is to one day winning one of these contests! Cheers
