Jack’s Old South Tops Tough Field at Tifton Rhythm & Ribs

Jack’s Old South Tops Tough Field at Tifton Rhythm & Ribs

The City of Tifton really turns out for a weekend of music, fun & food at the Rhythm & Ribs Festival. The City’s new mayor said she ordered up perfect weather for the weekend & she really delivered.   Twenty two GBA teams and 24 backyard teams competed to win cash & the unique “Squeal-bert” trophies.

 

The field was tough as 9 of the top 10 teams in the GBA’s Team of the Year standings were on hand.  In addition, well known pitmasters like Myron Mixon of Jacks Old South & Raymond Poore of REAL-licious Q were competing in their first GBA events of the season.  The competition was tight. In fact, less than a point separated the three finalists for the Grand Championship.  It was Jack’s Old South edging out 92 BBQ & Rub Shakers Que for the last call of the day.

Consistency across the three categories proved to be the key for Robby Royal of Rescue Smokers in winning the Reserved Grand Championship.  The team tallied a 594.8 in Loin (4th place); a 594.5 in Pulled Pork (4th place) and a 594.6 in Ribs (6th place) to accumulate the highest cumulative score in the preliminary rounds.

With all these experienced pitmasters on hand, a local team in their first competition made their mark.  Cool Hand Luke’s BBQ, led by Stripling Luke, made finals in both Pulled Pork & Ribs.  The team also scored a perfect 600 with their preliminary round Rib entry.

Jack’s Old South Edges Out Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack in Hawkinsville

Jack’s Old South Edges Out Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack in Hawkinsville

Grand Champions - Jack's Old South

Grand Champions – Jack’s Old South

Some of the top names in the world of competition BBQ turned out for the Hawkinsville Harvest Festival Pigs & Produce BBQ Cook Off, but the regulars on the Georgia Barbecue Association circuit were up for the challenge.  When the smoke settled, the Grand Championship had to be decided by a coin toss.  Jack’s Old South scored a near perfect 599.1 in the Pork Loin finals.  That was matched by Sauced Hogs Smoke Shack’s final Rib entry.  The GBA officials compared the scores thru the tie breaker procedure and the two teams matched up exactly.  That left it up to a coin toss and the winningest man in BBQ walked last once again.       

Myron Mixon actually got his winning ways started in Hawkinsville.  In 1996, Hawkinsville hosted a Memphis in May BBQ contest & Mixon won his very first Grand Championship at that event.
