Theme of the Day:  Feast and Famine

   After a terrible outing last year during the grilling day of Harpoon, we felt it would be fitting to start the year with a little redemption.  Our first contest of the year was hosted by the NEBS team Lunchmeat, and was held in Abington MA.   A four category, grilling only event- Fish, Sausage, Steak, Vegetable.

The “whole” team was there (all three of us), and some additional friends showed up for some cheap drinks and some free food.   Thats a good thing to keep in mind, we’ll have to make sure those things are always present…

When all was done with, we ended up with two “walks”, a third in fish, and 5th in steak.  And as you can tell by the “theme”  the other two were less than midfield.  Overall we ended up 9th of 18…

 Not a bad start to the season, hopefully signs of a good things to come.  

 Thanks again to the Lunchmeat team for taking the weekend off from cooking to make the event happen.
