3Eyz Hits Saudi Arabia!

3Eyz BBQ sent a care package to Major Brian Clark in Saudi Arabia to say thank you for all they do for us. Here is a pic, I take it they like the rub!

Turning the corner

At least that's what we hope we just did. After having things on auto pilot the first half of the season, we've been less than stellar this summer. But at Dover this weekend we pulled out a 1st in ribs and a 3rd in pork. It was nice to do some walking at the awards ceremony.

Big congrats to Tuffy of Cool Smoke for kicking our butts two weeks in a row!

Also, thank you to all our rub customers. Sales have really been going up, especially at competitions! THANK YOU!

A Fantastic night

Tracy and I met my parents at a restaurant in the inner harbor of Baltimore on Friday night. Started out with some seared Ahi Tuna, then moved onto a Veal T-bone with some Lyannaise potatoes and finished it all off with some chocolate sin cake. Damn was that a good meal! That veal T-bone was truly amazing. And the price was right too, as my pops picked up the bill, awesome!

A break....... A what?

Yep, a couple weeks off. Some time off is feeling pretty good after a very busy first half of the season. Heading to Ruths Chris tomorrow with my parents and a seeing a ball game on Saturday.

Not to fear though as another 3 in a row is on tap. Bel Air, Dover and New Holland. And I'm ready, cooling vest and cooling bandana in the comp supplies which means it will be 70 degrees. I'll start the rain dance on Monday, cause we need some crap weather for these comps. I'm about sick of the heat.

Oh, and be sure to check out BBQ Pitmasters next week on TLC. The premier is set for Thursday at 10pm EST. And check out future previews. Ya never know when you may catch a glimpse of the 3eyz guys :)

Louisa

Well, thats not Louisa, but it did feel like that! Friggin hot, again. Where the hell is the rain? Thundrstorms, tropical storms, cold, snow, you know? 3Eyz Weather!

We finished 18th out of 59 teams, not our best showing, but respectable. We'll have a chance to do better soon as we are signed up for Easton, MD nxt weekend.

Big thanks to Big Ugly, little Ugly, Tracy and Brian for helping me get things done. I almost scratched this one due to logistical issues.

Also, congrats to Black Cat on the win. Here is to hoping you get the DE draw to get you out of the VA draw :)

Washington, DC

Sucked wind, choked, got creamed, ate some humble pie, tanked, screwed the pooch, you pic the phrase. How about, we just sucked......

That about sums up this weeks performance! See you all in Louisa :)

Look who came to visit!

Its Casey Vader

More Marietta pics!!

The First Brick! 1st place Brisket!

Dan, Lucas, and Aunt Diana with the Reserve Brick!

Waiting like sardines for awards....

Booyah!




Thanks for the pics, Patsy!

Marietta, OH!

We got a visit from a new team member at this comp! A lucky praying mantis, I named it Beatrice...lol. It started out on Dan's shoe, and then continued to bless the rest of our site, guess it worked!

I wanted to make sure that I took a few minutes to thank everyone who showed at the comp in Marietta, Ohio this weekend! Tommy, Sasha, Rhonda, Grant, Pam, my Dad Rick (who also let us stay at his house), My Uncle Donnie and Aunt Diana, my cousin Patsy, her husband and their son Lucas (who clapped for the first time ever at the awards ceremony!) , Scott and Rachel.

I promised my Uncle that I would make a little "Ode to Uncle Donnie", for the delicious Long John Silver's he delivered prior to turn ins. He truly saved the day!

It was great to be close to where I was born and to get to hang out with my family, and still compete and bring home the RGC "brick". We had a good time, even though the heat was brutal, and I swear I lost 10 lbs in sweat alone.

I also got to meet a really cool fellow min pin lover and I was able to get a pic with them!

Reserve Grand Champions!

Just back from our first Ohio competition. We walked 4 times, 9th ribs, 9th pork, 1st brisket and was awarded reserve grand champions!

Dan H and Chris with their bricks

Our good luck Mantis

Now for a short break and onto DC.

Behind the scenes - Tracy

You folks have been really lighting it up lately in rub purchases and for that, we at 3Eyz BBQ say thank you!

But ever wonder how you get that rub? Especially when everybody on the team works a full time job and we are signed up for 20 competitions this year. Well the answer is Tracy Hixon.

She wears many hats. Banker, shipper, saint (she is Married to Dan H after all), and box maker specialist at the comps she comes to.

So I guess my point is, while Chris, Dan Mc, Jason and Dan H get recognized at the awards ceremonies, she does not, so please say thank you when you place an order and say hi when you see her at a comp.

I speak for the team when I say "thank you" to her via this post. Here is a pic of Tracy from DC.

Repeat! Upper Marlboro, MD

Our very first repeat GC at a contest and our (well Dan H's at least) first 1st place brisket award! Feels good. Special thanks to Chris for riding the red eye from LAX to join us and Dan Mc for busting his butt to be there. No one could ask for better teammates!
