We returned to Westport for our 4th entry in the Westport Blues Views and BBQ Festival. 4 years and a trophy each of the 4 years! I will let the pics to the talking. But a couple of things to note. First, crappy iPhone pics. We were so rushed during the turn in times that there was not time for pulling out the nice camera and staging the shot. Second, we were so bummed after everything was turned in. We rushed our chicken, the ribs (didn't get a pic of the ribs unfortunately) came out great, the chef's choice looked great, and the presentation on the dessert looked like crap. While we didn't get top 3 in any of the individual categories, we had consistently good food and placed in the top 5 in every category which netted us the 2nd best overall combined score. The team that took first place won best chicken, ribs, and chef's choice. Those guys and gal killed it. Hats off to them.
Now for some pics...

Chef's Choice - Pulled pork, bacon, onion jam, and cheddar garnished with red and yellow tomatoes, chives, sour cream and more bacon!
