SECOND PLACE

Brother Mies van der Steak (KC, KH, DEF)

"Bama Pulled Pork Sensation by Mies van der Cuhe " This is the whole package. Juicy strands of slowly cooked prime swine surrounded by the real deal:  collards and black-eyed peas steeped in Southern Goodness. Use the cornbread to create your own porkwich

 

Brother Mies takes a hands-on approach to Q.

Mies's Bama Pork gets temperatures rising.

Yes, Brother Mies is doing exactly what it looks like he's doing: administering a flavor injection.

 

THIRD PLACE

Sister Kimchi (KC)

"Emperor's Delight: Soy-Orange-Glazed Ribs with Sichuan Green Beans"

Tender baby back ribs are seared to perfection and finished with a sweet glaze. The glaze has hints of soy, ginger and orange essence.  The green beans complement the ribs with a spicy Sichuan sauce. Both are fit for an Emperor’s Banquet.

 

Other Contestants

Sister Aflame (KC)

"Perfectly Paired Pork" Fred and Ginger ruled the dance floor.  Bogart and Bacall owned the screen.  Now sweet and savory make their mark on the grill with succulent pork tenderloin   wrapped in crispy strips of smoky bacon.  Topped off with an apricot-white wine glaze, dinner never tasted sweeter!

 

Brother Bada (KC)

"Vlad's Contempt"

West meets East in this spin of traditional southern barbecue where a skewer, a touch of soy and enough garlic to kill a vampire combine to question your sense of mortality. Knife ... .Fork ... why bother?  Would you choose to spend your summer barbeques sitting down with a fine wine and a nice place setting? The Continental, this is not!

 

Brother Tater (KC, KH, DEF)

"Tacos al Carbon"

Cuándo te vas para el chancho, amigo mio, es como si hubieras pillado oro, un  oro de sabor!  Chiquillos vengan a probar este plato maravilloso, que tiene esta mezcla esquisita de sabores. Cuando te vas para el chancho, amigo mio todos estos otros platos son unas porquerias en comparacion. Asi que, si te quedas con el chancho, te quedas bien.  ¡GOOOOOOOL!
