much like the indy 500 they say
gentlemen start your engines terror will
get you started
everyone is our second annual sonny's
BBQ sauce competition today we had 14
teams that participated we had five
thousand dollars in prize money and it
was a wonderful event we had two seniors
on each team with one underclassmen they
all competed as a team and it was really
wonderful to see them interact with each
other the professionalism integrity the
camaraderie at this school is amazing
they have an amazing group of professors
chefs that work with the kids they
encourage him
they answer questions they challenged
him and best of all they teach them how
to work as a team and respect each other
sonny's BBQ actually approached Ryan
wells foundation about the idea of
putting on a sauce competition and we
thought tarpon was a great location tool
out the competition so we're excited to
be judging again this year and involved
in the logistics the seniors for the
past two and a half weeks three weeks
they've been practicing different sauces
Sonny's has been coming in once a week
to critique the sauces that the seniors
may give them ideas and different things
they may tweak a little bit so it for
the seniors has been a great thing
because they're looking at different
products and making the sauce from
scratch so as a senior at this stage to
be into research and development you
know it's a great thing that Sonny's it
has 10 judges coming in the judge the
sauces and they'll be judging it with
pulled pork to get a true flavor of how
the sauce really is
we have some of the chef's here we had
some of the kids who won last year the
with two winning teams to the young men
came back to judge
we had a prior year judge that came and
helped the kids work on their sauces
unfortunately brought our pitmasters
from Sonny's and we have a lot of
volunteers that are chefs are culinary
people and they judge so we had about 20
people that showed up to judge today all
the career of culinary arts 1975 dollars
and ashley and i still believe it like
it's still going to my head like they
said my name my mind was born like this
in my name like wait I'm the only Adams
will always like really confused i was
really surprised because I expected us
after fourth place was called out not to
win anything it was finals good
experience
it's just beautiful to see people
encouraging each other and when things
didn't work out it went back to the
drawing board and they tried to climb
the mountain again and that's what the
school's about about character when
people have great character others want
them to rise up and be successful
