Rickard’s Griller of Glory

Bob Jenkins faces the media after winning the Rickard's BBQ contest.

Bob Jenkins won the Rickard’s Griller of Glory contest at Dundas Square today. His prizes included a trophy and a Napoleon BBQ grill. Court Bethune took second place and James DiFiore came third. Though judging by the smells, any one of their meals would have made for a delicious lunch.

Backyard BBQers were invited to submit their recipes using Rickard’s Red and White beers. Bob, Court, and James were then selected to participate in a cook-off at Dundas Square. They had about 30 minutes to prepare their meals. Judging the contest were Mirella Amato, Alexa Clark, Councillor Kyle Ray, and Phil Nyman.

While everyone wanted to try the meals, Rickard’s wouldn’t let anyone beyond the judges sample the food and beers (liability insurance). If members of the audience weren’t hungry when they turned up, they were by the time the BBQers handed their plates over to the judges.
