BBQ CRITIC REVIEW: 2023 KCBS Rose Festival BBQ Competition - State Center, Iowa

6/21/2023

GRAND CHAMPION - Iowa's Smokey D's BBQ - The 2023 Rose Festival BBQ - State Center, Iowa

STATE CENTER, IA (BBQCRITIC.COM) - What a beautiful day for the 2023 Rose Festival BBQ contest in State Center, IA. This place is known as "The Rose Capital of Iowa." Well my appetite is in full bloom and I'm ready to judge BBQ!

I remember one time I drove by State Center on a bitter-cold winter day, and slowly made my way around the snow-covered roads. The Rose Garden  was in it's dormancy stage. Streets were bare of BBQ teams, no judge tent in sight.

Yet memories flowed through my mind of warmer days when the aroma of BBQ filled the air. Now it's all back again and it's going to be another great year of making more BBQ memories.

I drove down here with my BBQ judge buddy Francis Dutton. We arrived very early, so we walked around and greeted all the teams. 

On our way back to the judge tent, we ran into a gathering of cooks in the street about ready to do their traditional 9:22 shots. Wags Backwoods BBQ made the preparations and Machete Boys BBQ called up pitmaster Steve Lauer (Phoenix BBQ) to do a remote toast. Very fun!

We arrived back at the judge tent and sat at our assigned tables. BBQ judges Cindy and Craig Wells were volunteers today. They have been helping me judge BBQ restaurants for BBQ CRITIC (watch for forth coming reviews) and they are always excited to help. So I gave Craig a Leather Patch BBQ Critic hat today. Yes, Craig, you are an official BBQ CRITIC JUDGE!

It was great to be seated with John Parks (KCBS Master BBQ Judge and former Competition Cook) and Steve Carfrae (KCBS BBQ Judge and LTS BBQ pitmaster). John and Steve both execute their judging in a serious way. I was in good company, and so were all the cooks who would land on our table.

Contest organizer Megan Willier stopped in the judge tent to say a few words to us. "God blessed us this weekend," said Megan. Then she paused with emotion. You could sense a love and concern regarding a situation she had to face with family that almost prevented her from being at the contest. I just knew everything was is in God's hands to help her out.

Wags Backwoods BBQ said in his Facebook post, "Megan Willier and her team do a fantastic job at this contest. She cares a TON about this contest and takes great care of us as competitors. Without her and people like her, we don't get to do this thing we love. There are simply not enough words of thanks to convey our gratitude!"  

VIDEO CLIP- Judge's Oath


There is always a funny story to tell at a BBQ contest. Andy Fales (WHO 13 News reporter) talked about the Rose Festival BBQ in his TV news broadcast and commented on Darren Warth (Iowa's Smokey D's): "That guy could cook an old shoe and I would eat it guys. Oh, he can cook!" Darren, of course, received a lot of funny comments from fellow pitmasters on this.

The Smokey D's BBQ Facebook page even posted a photo and said, "Brisket and Pork is wrapped on this beautiful morning at the Iowa's Rose Festival BBQ Competition. Ribs just went on and Darren put a little something special on the pit in case Andy Fales (WHO 13 News) shows up for lunch."

Picture
"That guy could cook an old shoe and I would eat it guys. Oh, he can cook!" Andy Fales (WHO 13 News
Hilarious!  I don't know how that shoe turned out, but I can tell you this.  Darren Warth did not need that shoe to walk to his Grand Champion win today. It was adorable to watch his grandchild help Grandpa accept the awards. Precious moments right there!
Picture

Darren is a very down to earth kind of guy, yet he is legendary in the world of BBQ. I got involved in judging BBQ back in 2008 and always attend the awards. I have watched Darren win a ton of Grand Champions since then; and many other top awards and accolades. He owns the popular Smokey D's BBQ  in Des Moines, IA and his trophies are everywhere there. 

This coming fall, Darren will be inducted into the BBQ HALL OF FAME. I am excited for him, and his wife Sherry who has been by his side the whole time. This is very exciting and I will tell you this recognition is well-deserved.

Congratulations, Darren and Sherry!

Kyle Johnson is a "Memphis in May" Turkey Smoke World Champion, and has won a Grand Champion in the KCBS Pro Series and other top placing wins. Another down to earth guy who is starting to rise up in BBQ, and his wife Tara is usually with him, but today it was all Kyle.

​I always enjoy those moments when friends win a contest and this was one of those moments. Darren Warth and Kyle Johnson, especially this weekend,  made this contest a very fun experience for me. So it was really a privilege and honor to stand with them in this photo right after the awards.

Prior to the contest, Kyle and I agreed to bring each other care packages. I received a T-REX BBQ hat and t-shirts. I gave Kyle a BBQ CRITIC hat, stickers, magnet and a container of potato salad. Oh, and he also surprised me with a bag of Puff Pillows from Jaarsma Bakery.

T-REX Swag for the BBQ CRITC! Thanks, Kyle!

I love Puff Pillow pastries! Kyle bought these for me last year, too. Puff Pillows are becoming a tradition in the same way I bring Darren Warth (Iowa's Smokey D's) potato salad at BBQ contests. 

Darren posted this photo on Facebook and said, "It’s a great day when Herb Kane shows up with homemade potato salad at a comp.  Best potato salad I’ve ever tasted.  $10 says the container doesn’t make it past turn ins.  Thanks for thinking of me Herb."

Picture

I am having a blast with all this potato salad stuff and it really is fun to share it with others. I've learned, though, there are some shinnanigans going on in attempt to get a hold of Darren's potato salad.

A few days before the contest, Kyle texted me, "Don't forget my potato salad this weekend. Darren said he didn't want any."

I think Kyle wanted Darren's share. Nice try, Kyle!  I gave Jeff Vanderlinde (Shiggin' & Grinnin') some potato salad so he wouldn't snatch up Darren's container. I think it worked!
Picture

I felt bad I was short on potato salad for Luscious Loins BBQ (I missed out on their delicious stuffed mushrooms!) and Machete Boys BBQ. Sorry I ran short, guys. You are at the top of on my list! Well, right under Darren.  

It was great giving out my new BBQ CRITIC APPROVED stickers to teams. It is a fun way for me to thank them for what they do for us judges: Cooking up some of the most delicious competition BBQ on earth!

For those teams who did not get a sticker, just hit me up at a contest. and I will give you one and take your photo for the BBQ CRITIC site.

I got a sense Francis had a heavy heart remembering last year when he judged this contest with his wife Christine. She passed away in late 2022 and I know this was affecting him.  He told me the memories were all good ones, and Christine would have enjoyed this contest immensely.

The SMOKHOUSE 72 BBQ team (brother's Ray & Jay Ringgenberg)  named their new gravity smoker "Christine" in honor of her.  So cool! 

By the way, check out SMOKEHOUSE 72's "Sweet & Savory" BBQ rub. It is the first BBQ CRITIC APPROVED product. Read the review here.

JUDGING THE BOXES

KCBS Reps Jonathan and Clara Williams did a great job in the judge tent.  I don't know what is happening, but the turn ins at contests these days are all fantastic.

CHICKEN: I looked around the tables and saw everything from wings, breasts. legs and thighs. It all looked so delicious! Our chicken table was amazing. Oh my, all the 9's!

RIBS: Probably my least favorite category of the day, but the two I liked were a 999.

PORK: Oh, man! So delicious and so many creative ways the boxes were laid out. Cooks, please make sure if you want to include two or more different types of pork such as money muscle, chunks, pulled, etc., to ONLY ADD THE GOOD MEATS in the box. If one did not turn out that great, scrap it. 


BRISKET:  I noticed today how the texture of the meat can really help enhance the flavor of the brisket.

​Slices can be solid-like (hard/dry) or can stretch out nicely like an accordion (moist/tender). When it has just the right amount of smoke, tenderness and rendered fat (marbling) in that slice, it is music to my taste buds! There were a couple of boxes that nailed it.

​Competitions are becoming more difficult to win because the overall quality of boxes are so high. Way different compared to when I started judging back in 2008. The scores will be very close, indeed.


The awards ceremony at the Rose Festival BBQ is always exciting to watch; and I have witnessed many over the years. Congrats to all the teams competing and those who got calls.

While taking photos of the TOP 3 winners in each category, strangely I heard someone say, "Bubba-Q's" from the crowd of cooks. It immediately reminded me of all the good times I had cooking with Bubba & Sabrina Knapp (who own Bubba-Q's restaurant in Ottumwa, IA). They now live in Cody, WY and I wish they could be here today. They won Grand Champion here at the Rose Festival BBQ in 2011. What a great memory!

FINAL THOUGHTS

Well it won't be too long and winter will return to State Center. The community will be layered in snow and the beautiful Rose Garden will once again go dormant.

Thinking of roses, I remember singer Bette Midler once said in her song THE ROSE, "I say love, it is a flower, and you, it's only seed."

Well if we are the seeds of love, I saw a lot of it planted and growing at the Rose Festival BBQ this year.

Moments like when Megan Willier was going through a stressful time and cooks showing appreciation for everything she does to make this event successful, or watching Darren and Sherry Warth loving up their grandchild, or Francis Dutton reflecting on the love of his life who passed on to be with God.  Even the simple act of sharing food and stories and memories with each other, and experiencing all the fun that can be had at a BBQ competition.

The seeds have been planted!

Like the Rose Garden in State Center, we will all bloom again and come back next year to see our BBQ family.  Bette Midler describes this best at the very end of her song THE ROSE:

Just remember
in the Winter

Far beneath
the bitter snows

Lies the Seed
that with the sun's love

In the Spring
becomes the rose.

Rose Festival BBQ Contest 2022

6/22/2022

 
​STATE CENTER, IA (June 18, 2022) –  The Rose Festival 21st Annual BBQ contest is the longest running KCBS BBQ contest in Iowa.. I have a long history of judging (and cooking) at this event and it was an honor to be back.

My first visit to the Rose Festival BBQ Contest in State Center, Iowa, was in June of 2009. Reminiscent of that little fictional town called Mayberry, BBQ teams parked all along the streets in a residential neighborhood, and the aroma of smoke filled the air. A loud train roared through town many times a day, yet it didn’t drown out the hollering and laughter coming from all the Pit Masters (poking fun at each other) while at the same time creating some of the best BBQ on earth.

That sunny day I shaded myself under the judge tent. I slipped off my sandals to feel the cool, green grass brush against the bottom of my feet. A warm breeze softly hit my face as I waited patiently for the first turn in to arrive. The Rose Festival BBQ Contest was beginning to bloom and it would for many years to come.

JUDGING BBQ

This year I did not have grass below my feet (the judge tent was planted right in the middle of a paved street), but all the familiar faces began to arrive and everyone was excited to see each other again. Francis Dutton filled us in on his recent surgery. The more he talked, the less hungry we got, but it was interesting. KCBS contest reps (Jonathan & Clara Williams) were busy at work getting things ready for the judge meeting. We watched contest organizer Megan Willier having fun on a parade float. Not long after, we found ourselves reciting the KCBS Judge Oath and the first  turn-ins arrived at noon. 

I would say in each category (chicken, ribs, pork and brisket) I had at least one or two excellent samples. One common theme among the judges: Too much sauce on the chicken. This generally does not affect me, but I have to admit some did look really heavy on the sauce. Perhaps something to consider as a team on future turn-ins. For the most part, the meats submitted to me were all pretty good. Overall I felt the teams did a great job on their boxes. My favorite was the pork boxes. Absolutely beautiful and tasty.

Congrats to Hot Daddy's BBQ (GRAND CHAMPION) and Hogline (Reserve Grand) and to all teams participating this weekend. You put smiles on the judges. Special shout out to my friends Matty Mack's for his 1st place in Chicken and 1st in People's Choice. Great job, Matt! Ray & Jay (Smokehouse72) for 3rd in Ribs, David Ellis (Machete Boys BBQ) for 2nd in Pork, Kyle Johnson (T-Rex BBQ) for 2nd in Brisket. You are nailing that Brisket, Kyle!  I was pleased to see Darren Warth (Iowa's Smokey D's) finish strong with a 3rd in Brisket and 4th Overall. Lots of great calls by well-deserved teams.

FRIDAY NIGHT

Instead of arriving on Saturday morning to judge, I came one day early to hang out with friends Friday night. There is always something interesting happening, especially at the T-Rex BBQ camp. Kyle Johnson and his teammate Sean McDermott were all decked out in their Friday night attire: Hawaiian shirts and sandals (a tradition that keeps them in a festive spirit). Great idea! Boy was Sean and Kyle excited.

Their young daughters (Kylee Johnson and Carlee McDermott, aka Bestie-Q) entered ribs in the People’s Choice category. David Ellis (Machete Boys BBQ) even gave the girls a quick lesson in trimming ribs, knife skills and applying rubs evenly. The girls competed against all the adult teams and landed 2nd Place (out of 9 teams)! Matty Mack’s nailed 1st and BAMBQ 3rd. Holy Cow excitement broke out. Kyle and Sean were the proudest dads on the planet earth. Like I said, there is always excitement going on at the T-Rex camp and this was a very special family moment.

Congratulations Bestie-Q!

GRUMPY OLD FARTS BBQ

Speaking of family, Darren Warth (Iowa's Smokey D's) was on a fishing trip this week in honor of his father-in-law who years-ago had a BBQ competition team called "Grumpy Old Farts BBQ." I remember them from back in the day when I first became a judge.


Darren posted about his trip on Facebook, "Today we made the trek out to Mick’s Hump, the father in laws favorite place to fish.  When he passed away, we took his tackle box which had about $700 worth of lures in it and filled the pockets with rocks and sunk it to the bottom of the lake.  Every year we stop by and celebrate Mick, have a drink and share some great stories.  Sure do miss the grumpy old fart."

What a heart touching story. Thanks for letting me share this, Darren. I can think of another tradition involving Darren Warth. 

POTATO SALAD

​In July (2011) I drove up to Whiting, Iowa at the “Whiting Fourth of July BBQ Competition” to hang out with Bubba & Sabrina Knapp (Bubba-Q’s). We decided to host a potluck for all the competitons teams and I made potato salad.   It was this day Darren Warth (Iowa’s Smokey D’s) took his first bite of my potato salad and he has been bragging it up ever since. So it has become tradition for me to bring potato salad to Darren at contests when possible.

Friday night I left a few containers with his wife Sherry since Darren was not around.  The next morning he posted a photo and wrote this on Facebook, “When the potato salad God  drops off his special potato salad after you go to bed you have it for breakfast. So simple, so good. By far the best potato salad I’ve ever eaten. Only thing that could have made it better is eating it freshly made at room temp, that’s when the flavors really fly. Thanks for thinking of me Herb.”

You are very welcome, Darren. You have made this a really fun tradition. So thank you.

UNEXPECTED GOODIES

I am now getting requests from other BBQ teams who want to try my potato salad, so I made up a double batch for State Center and handed it out to various teams.  A few teams gave me some parting gifts.

David Ellis (Machete Boys BBQ) let me try a sample of his brisket (magnificent!) and he sent me home with a vacuum packed assortment of competition meat. Going to have it for dinner this week, David. Can't wait! LTS BBQ’s Steve Carfrae (who judged with me this weekend) brought me a pile of the most tender and flavorful burnt ends. Absolutely delicious, especially over mashed potatoes and gravy.

Kyle Johnson (T-Rex BBQ) brought me bag of my favorite pastries from Jaarsma Bakery – Puff Pillows. Love it!  I purchased a bottle of Smokehouse72’s new Sweet & Savory rub and look forward to cooking with it. This rub needs to be on the shelf at The Grill Works in Marion, IA. Ray & Jay even gave me a Smokehouse72 T-shirt. Very nice. I appreciate Dusty Ware for bringing me a case of Jealous Devil JAX BBQ Pellets to buy. I had a hard time finding it anywhere and glad the Iowa BBQ Store had it in stock. Thanks to Jason Wagner (Wags Backwoods BBQ) for giving me his team sticker. .

This was like getting my dream goodie bag at a BBQ contest. Thank you everyone!

SAVE THE DAY BBQ

I have a really great memory to share when I competed at State Center in June of 2014. The contest fell short of teams to be a qualifier event, so the cooks wanted me to come out and compete so they would reach the required amount of teams. Bubba Knapp (Bubba-Q's) called me and said cooks are going to donate all the meats and even gave me a team name: SAVE THE DAY BBQ. Hilarious! I was a BBQ judge, and this was my first time cooking solo at a pro contest. 

There were lots of talented cooks here, but I managed to survive and placed 13th in chicken, 15th in ribs, 8th in pork (yep, I got a call!) and 19th in Brisket. Ended up 14th overall (out of 25 teams). Not bad for a BBQ Judge. Getting a call that day was a thrill. Everyone erupted in applause and thought it was cool I actually got a call.  What a day for SAVE THE DAY BBQ.

FINAL THOUGHT

I invite BBQ teams to come out next year to State Center, Iowa and compete in the Rose Festival BBQ Contest. Organizer Megan Willier runs a great contest. .The loud train will catch your attention when you arrive, but when the train finally fades off into the distance, a peace arrives. The kind you only find in a small town like State Center. This BBQ contest (with all the fun, friends and food) is a slice of Heaven, and its history runs deep with me.

That’s why I come back and you should, too.
