Thirty ribs-lovers can buy their way into the Boss Hog limelight, beginning Friday.
Tickets to judge the People’s Choice Awards at the Sept. 16 cook-off will be available Sept. 8-15 at The True Citizen office at 601 East Sixth Street in Waynesboro.
Any remaining tickets will be sold at the cook-off, beginning at 9 a.m.
The $15 ticket will buy judges a single rib from each team, and a chance to vote for their favorites.
Unlike the blind judging team, the People’s Choice judges may be subjected to wooing and bribery.
Their one-hour feeding frenzy will begin at noon and will culminate with $400 in cash prizes for the top three contestants.
So far, five teams are signed up to fight over the $2,400 in prize money, but at least 10 more are expected.
Those committed include:
The Three Porkateers – Grill Master: Timmy Lovett; Sauce Spreader: Alison Lovett; Rib Turner: Stephanie Goetzman
Three-Dog Grill – Grill
Master: Lamar Youmans; Sauce Spreader: Carey Gore; Rib Turner: John Kitchens
Cheeks Choice Ribs- Grill Master: Eugene Cheeks; Sauce Spreader: Kenneth Cheeks; Rib Turners: Dennis Cheeks and Jerry Hooks
John Deere Delicious- Grill Master: Emory Walden; Sauce Spreader: Gene Scott; Rib Turner: Kevin Brantley
