COMPETITOR
Boar's Night Out
HEAD COOK:
COMPETITION: World Barbecue Championship
QUALIFYING EVENT: Smokin Aces - Tunica, MS
Boars Night Out (BNO) was started by six recently divorced guys back in 2006. It was all about the party for several years. As times changed and people came and went, we began to put together the makings of a championship bbq team. In the past three years, with dedicated support and the willingness of our team, we have climbed from a 147th position in MBN team standings to be in the top 5 since 2010 - where we are currently ranked #1. All of this wouldn't have been possible without our pitmasters Eric Hodson of Olive Branch, MS, Bob Denton of Horn Lake, MS, Kendal Adair & Allen Smith both of Olive Branch, MS along with our wives, girlfriends, team members and friends. Along with these great people we have won eight GRAND CHAMPION awards with two of them at The Music City BBQ Fest in Nashville, TN, two of them at Smokin' Aces in Tunica, MS, a SWEEP at BBQ-Fest in Dyersburg, TN, and Murphysboro BBQ Cook Off in Murphysboro, IL. Recently we have cooked in Covington, TN and received another GRAND CHAMPION award and at Octoberfest in Cleveland, MS where we took home 1st place in Whole Hog, Rib, and Pork Shoulder with a Grand Champion in Ribs. This totals up to four GRAND CHAMPIONS in a row and five for the year with a couple more contests to go!!!!! We have some GREAT trophies and personalities that we can't wait to display to the WORLD at the WFC!!!
