3 Eyz BBQ - News

This page has been set up to keep you posted on what's happening with 3 Eyz BBQ. Be sure to check back for updates periodically.

6/10/08 - 3 Eyz recently entered our spice rub into a rub competition in Kansas City, MO. The spice rub finished 2nd out of 29 other entries in the mild category. We are very very happy with this result and happy to see that it scored so high against many established spice rubs!

12/24/07 - The 2007 Competition season is over and Dan is showing signs of withdrawal already. We haven't even been off a month but are busy planning our 2008 tour de Que. Rest assured 3EyzBBQ will certainly be making a visit to its roots at Bel Air and New Holland, but may also be making a foray into New England and perhaps Danville, VA in the Spring. Jason and Dan have also been seen looking and talking about trailers to carry our supplies, so who knows what next season will bring!

Thanks to all of you, Spice sales have picked up heartily. Feel free to send in those testimonials and we'll get those up soon.

10/14/07 - 3 Eyz BBQ is proud to announce that our first spice rub is now available for purchase!!!

10/12/07 - Dan had the privilege of heading out to Kansas City a few weekends ago to check out the biggest BBQ contest of the year, The American Royal. Here is what he had to say about it..

The American Royal. Up until the Bridgeton, NJ contest the Royal was just another big contest that you hear a lot about but we weren't going since we hadn't yet won a qualifier. During the Bridgeton contest, Dan was approached by John Atkins from Pigs on the Run who asked him to cook with his team in Kansas City. That was an offer that Dan simply could not turn down. Within 24 hours Dan had plane tickets and a date with the Royal....

WOW! What can you say about 511 teams in one parking lot competing for $120k in prize money? "WOW!" about sums it up. After driving the 18hrs in May to the GAB, Dan was thrilled to be drinking a bit of Knob Creek with the Dizzy Pig crew 3.5 short hours after boarding a plane in Baltimore. It seemed all the heavy hitters from the east were there such as I Que, I Smell Smoke!, Cool Smoke, Dizzy Pig, Philly Pigs and of course POTR. If that wasn't enough you got those "other" teams like Lotta Bull, Buttrub.com, Qua, the list goes on and on.....

This contest has its fair share of partying too. I saw drunks walking into fences, into trailers where teams were sleeping, one guy asked me for antihistamines at 3:45am. Trust me, you could spend all weekend just people watching!

The weekend was not to kind to POTR though. No calls, not a one. BUT we did get close with a tie for 23rd in sausage and 53rd in ribs. Not too shabby, but a bit of money and a trophy would have been nice. I have to send a big THANK YOU to the guys in POTR. They treated me like one of their own, let me cook, run boxes and gave me a place to sleep. What more could you possibly ask for?

So, I could write on a on, but I'll stop here. 3EyzBBQ hopes to be going to the Royal next year.

7/30/07 - 3 Eyz BBQ will be included in the upcoming "A Pig a Day" 2008 calendar. 3 Eyz BBQ was approached by the creator of the calendar, Sunnyside Farm, and asked if we would be interested in being in the calendar. We were excited about the opportunity to get our name out there and accepted. We sent over a little information about us and here is the result:

You can purchase this calendar and help those folks out that included us, by clicking here. It's full of BBQ teams, restaurants, festivals, products, etc. for BBQ lovers.

6/28/07 - It's been awhile since our last update, but rest assured 3 Eyz has been extremely busy!! The 2007 season started off well as we were crowned the Maryland State Champion at Salisbury! We followed up that event with a solid 4th overall finish at Yardley, with a 1st in Chicken! Then, we headed "west" to Kansas City to compete with the best, and wound up with a 3rd in Chicken and a 4th in Ribs at the Invitational event!!! Our next event is Stevensville, MD at the end of July. Bel Air and New Holland follow in August, and Dover in October.

Potentially even bigger news is the official formation of our company, 3EYZ BBQ, LLC!!!! Dan and Jason, along with our new partner Wayne, recently filed the paperwork on June 26th to become an LLC! What does this do for 3 Eyz???? Well, it allows us an avenue to produce and sell rubs, and cater events! Look for the first of our rubs to come out hopefully very soon!!!! We are very excited about this endeavor and look forward to the future it holds.

3/19/07 - The 2007 season is just around the corner!!! The weather is getting warmer and Dan is getting more and more anxious. Our first contest of the year is only a month away in Salisbury, MD. There should be ALOT of teams there and a great way to start up the year. 3 Eyz was invited to compete in an invitation-only contest in Kansas City, KA in May. We are putting together a plan to get out there for it. We are looking for any help from supporters that we can get. Email us if you can help us out!

10/29/06 - 3 Eyz BBQ had the privilege of cooking for our wounded troops and their families at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center outside of Washington, DC. Several area teams joined forces to cook and serve food to the soldiers and their families on a wonderful Sunday afternoon. Jason, Dan, Tracy, and Wayne made the voyage down and spent the day preparing pulled pork, brisket, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, cornbread, salads, and desserts. It truely was an honor for us to be a part of this fantastic event and we look forward to doing it again.
