By Luke Darnell, MABA President, pitmaster for Old Virginia Smoke

The first ever Mid-Atlantic BBQ Expo and Contest was a huge hit.  Held at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City, the event attracted BBQ suppliers, vendors and enthusiasts from all across the region for a celebration of meat and smoke.

The expo featured delicious BBQ from vendors, as well as exhibits from sauce, knives, and smoker vendors.  Additionally, several of MABA’s pitmasters were featured in demonstrations live on stage.

The weather was a little better on Saturday which produced a well-fought BBQ battle on the boardwalk.  Congratulations to All Fired Up on the RGC and Weekend Smokers on the GC.
