We are happy to announce that today we received our E-mail from Memphis in May officially selecting us to compete at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. We are still taking new members for this year. If you are interested, make sure to get in touch with us through the Join Us link to get information. We look forward to the competition and to seeing everyone there.

The Too Sauced to Pork South Team is happy to announce that after sampling 12 different member tomato sauces, we have decided the lead for our entry. The 2012 Tomato Sauce lead for Memphis in May will be Blake Marcum. Congratulations to Blake for winning our sauce off.
