Chillin and Grillin in the Glades
In its fourth year, Chillin and Grillin in the Glades continues to be a fantastically run contest in Wise, Virginia. Organizer Greg Cross does such a good job in making sure the teams lack for nothing.
New to Wise this year was an SCA Steak Cookoff on Friday night. This was great fun for the teams and spectators, as there was significant trash talking amongst the competitors. All in good fun. Steaks were shared afterwards. In a shocking development, the steak contest was won by first time cook Jerry Stephenson of Redneck Scientific, while Look Darnell of Old Virginia Smoke got his first ever steak call with second place.
This year, the weather had some rain showers, but nothing that the teams couldn’t overcome. The window for awards was tight, but they were able to get them in before the showers started. Wolfs Revenge ended up as champion on the day, winning GC, with Redneck Scientific earning RGC honors.
The Town of Wise is already looking forward to next year. If you haven’t cooked this contest, be sure to consider it for your calendar.
