Here’s my favorite shot from the day:
I love how the heat from the grill makes the background blur look like wavy glass.
Plus, I love how gosh darn smug Skip looks, in total denial of his impending demise!
Today, San Diego 6 invited me on to do a segment on family photos AND BBQSmackdown.
It was a lot of fun, and my TV steak came out reallllly good. I can prep for a TV segment, talk about photography, AND grill an awesome steak — all at the same time.
Skip, you have no chance. Sorry buddy.
Right before I left for a weekend in LA last week,
I picked up a big ‘ole box of brand new snazzy T-shirts
for the Smackdown!
Check it out:
the back…
the front chest…
If you buy a ticket to BBQSMACKDOWN AND post about it on your blog,
you can get one of these fun T’s for yourself!
Just buy your ticket, then email me the link to your blog post
so I can send you your T-shirt!
Not in San Diego? Buy a plane ticket or gas up the car and get your booty out here!
This party is going to be a BLAST!
Some of the biggest names in Photography will be there,
and you may even make the pages of Rangefinder Magazine
when the feature story on the event runs later this year!
OK, you still can’t make it, but you want a T-shirt?
Buy a ticket, blog about the event, and email me the link to your blog post.
Tell me that you can’t make the event, more money will go to the charity
(because I won’t have to order a lunch for you),
and you’ll still get your T-shirt.
…and don’t forget to VOTE:
You can tell that Skip begged everyone in his email contact list
to go vote for him because his vote tally isn’t as pathetic as it was a few days ago.
Poor Skip. Even some of his own friends realized that I would obviously win & voted for me!
…going easy on the grilling today and doing some simple turkey burgers…
Molly was on hand to observe
and to act as “Chief Quality Control Officer”
Even though grilling steaks is what I’m best at, today called for BURGERS, so burgers went on the grill!
They were great — a perfect 4th of July BBQ backyard lunch.
No EZ-Bake oven here, Skip! See that Skip?!? At least this beach blonde so-cal chick knows how to spell her opponent’s NAME!!!! I know it’s hard for the old folks to remember simple things like spelling, but come on, dude! Try to pull it together, pull up the Depends, and stop embarassing yourself.
EXCITING NEWS!
Thanks to our generous sponsors, the FIRST 50 PEOPLE to buy a lunch ticket or a Golden Ticket AND post about the event on their blogs will get a FREE BBQSmackdown T-shirt along with their tickets!
After you buy your ticket and post on your blog, email carey@bbqsmackdown.com with the link to your blog post.
I’m getting excited! The website is almost ready to go!
Soon people will be able to get all the info & buy their tickets!
Stay tuned to BBQSmackdown.com for the lauch.
It all started innocently enough.
I invited my old friend, Skip, and Molly the Wonder Dog down to San Diego for dinner.
Listening to him go on and on and ooooooooon about his froo-froo bacon-wrapped cheese-stuffed filets was causing my eyes to roll back in my sockets, and I was afraid they’d get stuck if I didn’t do something soon.
So I called Skip up and invited him down to dinner, and of course, Molly would be invited because it was about time our two Mollys met. AND, it was time for Skip to just shut up and admit that I make better steak than he does.
He refused my invitation, and BBQ Smackdown was born.
The old guy just doesn’t know how to go down nicely.
He’s so confident and cocky and convinced that a blonde beech girl can’t possibly grill; it will be very sad to watch him go down in flames (those will be the flames of the fire flaring up around his rediculous bacon & cheese).
It could be sad to watch this old guy go down.
Good thing he’ll have Molly there with him for some cuddle time. That will make him feel better when the full realization of his loss hits him like a ribeye across the brow.
