Hey, welcome back to the How to Barbecue Right podcast.

I'm your host, Malcolm Reed, and joined by my lovely, talented wife, Miss Southern Shell, hollers to, on the boards, to my left, to your right. What up, yeah? I don't know what it looks like to people. They don't see. We keep trying to get a camera on him, and he keeps coming up with excuses. Excuse us not to put a camera on. I'm like, oh, no, Jamie needs a camera now. They're like, every now and then.

What's going on this week?

Last weekend we attended the Melbourne Burger Cookall.

Oh, that was a good one.

Yeah. So they were raising money for this church that was built in 1812, I believe, the pastor said.

And it's the, I think he said it was the oldest church west of the Mississippi that's still standing.

Yeah.

That's pretty cool.

And they're kind of outgrowing their space.

Yeah.

You know,

it's a small community up there.

And you would not think.

He said they went from having like 20,

20 regular attendees to church service on

Sundays to now they're like almost up to 80. And that's how big that little community is growing.

So that's a good thing. Yeah. Anyway, then they raise some money for it. And we passed out

playing Mary's in the church. I didn't know if that was really the right move. Because it was going to be like a,

the idea was when they were asking us, it was like, we want to do something that the local community can feel comfortable competing in. And so they said, what about a burger? And I said, yeah, a burger's fine. Everybody can cook a burger. It's simple enough. It doesn't take all day to do it. It's a good, you know, good way to do a contest. You don't have to be like some super competitive professional, yeah. And then they were like, well, can we do anything else? I said, what about a drink contest? And they were like, yeah, yeah, we'll do a drink contest. They were thinking about this is for that church. So they dropped the drink content. So they dropped the drink. We didn't drop the Bloody Mary's, you know. Yeah, so we just kind of ran the hospitality mobile.
