Computers And Networks Memphis

When an old university buddy told me he was part of a BBQ Cooking Team participating in the Memphis in May's "Super Bowl of Swine," the journalist in me kicked into gear. How I wondered did my Canadian pal, a PhD in Marine Biology end up elbow-deep in pork product preparation for one of the biggest BBQ competitions in the United States? Knowing Jasper- it's all for the fun.

He passed me onto Team Leader Mike Armstrong of the "Swine & Dine" troop to discuss the finer points of the group and the competition which happens every May (this year May 18-20). The group gathered forces in 1978 to enter their first Memphis in May BBQ experience. Approximately 250 teams compete every year for hog glory- from ALL over the world. Australians, Russians, Canadians, Thais and Kiwis make up the 90,000 competitors and feasters, many of whom compete for the over $61,000 in prize money.
