Every year, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Competition is vast and fierce, and this one was no exception. More than 250 teams entered. This year marked the first time that international teams also competed, with three hailing from Great Britain and Japan.

There can be only one grand champion, though, and that honor went to Bulldog Mountain Cooking Crew 2. Chief cooks for the team were Rick Tatum, Ryan Wade and Mike Wells Jr. Wells’s advice to teams was quoted in a press release from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. He said, “Just love your product, cook it slow and low and never stop trying.”

The Bulldog Mountain Team 2 landed top honors in ribs, and Team 3 scored first runner-up in chicken. Their closest competitors also won multiple awards. The Washington County Go Texan team was first runner-up overall and nailed the top spot in chicken and the Go Texan Best Barbecue award. Second runner-up team, Xtreme Texas Cookers 4, were deemed best in brisket.
