The 2012 Pork in the Park competitive BBQ contest in Salisbury Maryland was the 2nd biggest in the United States.  In impressive fashion Chef Andrew Evan’s “Walk the Swine” team was named the Reserve Grand Champion, finishing 2nd overall out of 113 teams using Primo Grills & Smokers!  Here is a behind the scenes look:

Chef Andrew gambled by only turning in slices of the "money muscle" and was rewarded with a 5th place call.
