Anybody witness the "raw" chicken at the CPM School? Interesting dilema to say the least. That chicken was over cooked but still produced a questionable appearance.
To put an interesting process out, some BBQ cooks are merchandising out the loin of the whole hog at 145 degrees. Is that underdone...is it still raw...do YOU know how that particular piece of meat should be cooked to perfection?? Can pork be cooked to medium Rare and still be safe to comsume? What about the translucence test, is it viable? Do you know the difference between connective tissue and meat?? So many questions, so little time.
DQ's are a true waste of good effort. If Marshal's take the sample they have agreed to judge it. If the sample is deemed unsafe to comsume then the proper score should be given to the categories that are effected by that decision. Score it and move on to the next sample. DQ's cost too much time, animosity, and strained relationships. IMHO there is no fun in it!
Team Captains should be notified after ALL judging is complete that there was a issue with a sample. NOT between category turn ins.
Just my .02...worth what you paid for it.
