117 James Park: BBQ Judge - a podcast by Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ Podcast

BBQ Judges. They’re often overlooked and under-appreciated. And let’s face it: we BBQ competitors often scapegoat the judges when we don’t get the scores that we want. However, that doesn’t change the fact that BBQ Judges are the ‘other side’ of the coin in Competition BBQ. Sure, you can’t have a BBQ Competition without competitors, but the flip side of that is that you also can’t have a BBQ Competition without Judges. Now, that being said, the reason for this disconnect is a lack of transparency in the BBQ Competition systems. That lack of transparency is both deliberate and essential in order to keep the judging system blind. But it doesn’t help judge - competitor relations. 

So, in this Episode, Australia’s #1 BBQ Judge, James Park, is taking us behind the scenes of the BBQ Judging game and telling us about what really goes down in that big tent. We’re going to talk about James’ experiences judging around the country, take a look at some of the things that the different BBQ sanctioning bodies are doing right, some ways that they could improve and then we’re going to get into a new project James is working on. Hint: He’s designing his own BBQ Judging system!
