Oakey BBQ team shines at Caboolture and Armidale
Smooth and Smoakey Salad Dodgers came away as Grand Champions from the Caboolture BBQ Beer Festival and Reserve Grand Champion at the Armidale BBQ Battalion.
Smooth and Smoakey Salad Dodgers have had a busy few weeks travelling the countryside.
The team first travelled to Armidale in May and more recently headed to Caboolture over the weekend of the 4th and 5th June, where they competed in the Caboolture BBQ Beer Festival which ran in conjunction with the Caboolture Show.
During the Queensland floods, the team ventured to Armidale where they came away with Reserve Grand Champion.
At this same competition, team mate Jess was crowned Steak Queen in ‘Steak A’ and became the first ever woman to have a winning steak in the Steak Cookoff Association (SCA) Competition.
At Caboolture, seventeen teams from around the area competed, and after coming away with Reserve Grand Champions last year, they were chasing the big prize of Grand Champion.
Smooth and Smoakey Salad Dodgers were able to win the top prize by coming 1st for Chicken, 1st for Pork Ribs and 2nd for Bakehouse.
“This competition has helped us to prep for our upcoming comps in the Gold Coast and Gympie, which are being held in July,” Jess said.
“We will head to the Gold Coast on 2nd and 3rd July, where our youngest competitor will see if he can go back-to-back in the kids Steak Competition.”
