HAY GUYZ. Rib-Off is almost upon us, and I realize that amid all the flurry here, I forgot to announce it. I'm not the organizer, all I did was say, "sure, you can do it at my house," when [livejournal.com profile] daemonwise was casting about for a venue, and he sent out Facebook invites quite a few weeks ago. (July has been, uh, "interesting," enough as it is, so cut me a little slack, heh)

ANYWAY, the short version: My house. Saturday. August 6th. 1pm until we get tired. 10 different rib recipes will be pitted against each other in epic battle. You get to eat ALL of them and vote for the best in five different categories. There is also a side dish competition, open to anyone who wants to make an appearance! Also, bring whatever you want to drink. Hang out, have fun, enjoy the pork-drunk excellence.

Or, if you require more details, here's the long version, as posted by [livejournal.com profile] daemonwise on FB:

It's time once again for Rib-Off!

Our third annual rib competition is happening on August 6th at the Big Yellow House. Do you like ribs? Summer BBQs? Have you already skipped past these ridiculous questions?

Of course you do. Have. Whatever. Come to Rib-Off!

We'll have 10 different competing chefs (and Chef-ish teams), cooking in shifts and all vying to convince you their ribs are the best. We will have completely serious and not at all tongue-in-cheek voting for the best ribs; you will vote to award the coveted Golden Bone! That's right! Hoshit! That feeling, that's honor and grave responsibility, motherfucker.

We will also host a side-dish competition, which is free to any and all who wish to join! Since we're providing the main course (all ten or so of them), we will be pot-lucking everything else, from drinks to sides. And if your side-dish gets voted the best in any of the following categories, you'll win a bag of the most amazing prizes the dollar store on 82nd has to offer!

-Spicy
-Savory
-Sweet
-Originality
-Best of Show

Rib-Off is about as kid-friendly as any rowdy, crowded summer BBQ is. Feel free to bring the little ones, but we take no responsibility for any bad habits, new vocabulary, or interesting rashes they might take home.

There will be booze, and (hopefully) much of it. Please feel free to bring whatever you might wish to drink. If you want to bring an SO or roommate, that's perfectly fine (+1 is ok, basically). If you want to invite more than that, just leave a comment or message myself or BYH owner Sarah and we'll discuss it. Above all else, come hungry, come thirsty, and come ready for a mighty fine day.


On a related note, guess who's throwing down a test batch before going to the studio today? Oh yeeeeah.

One day, when you all least expect it, I shall return, descending upon you all in a haze of BBQ sauce. On that day, you will all taste my delicious, meaty vengeance.

Also also; Team Hate's ribs will explode your face with deliciousness.

For those who are on the fence about participating, here is a taste of what to expect:

Zomg. Another chance to inflict my potato salad on a captive audience, plus multiple chefs battling to put the best hot, smoky meat in my mouth? SO GOING.

I seriously don't know how the opening speech will be topped, btw...

I know this goes against everything rib-off stands for, but do you know if any vegetarian fare will be around? There's a chance my dad will be in town, and he's a super cool dude, but he's vegetarian, and I'd hate to take him somewhere full of tasty meats and tempt him over the edge due to nothing else being available.

Side dishes are usually a vegetarian's friend at these things. That said, the safe bet is to bring something you know he can eat rather than hoping other people will bring enough for him.
