Last month I asked for your support of my rib entry in the semi-finals of the Smithfield Hog Wild Throwdown . Well, I have some bad news and some good news, and I'm a bad-news-first kinda guy, My ribs didn't make the finals, but the good news is that my Steakhouse Chops with Apple-Shallot Compound Butter entry in the final "Grill Pork Like a Steak" category has made the semi-finals in the Pitmaster Pro division. If I could bother you again, your support is greatly appreciated.
