Big News from the House of Q!

Actually, Really Big News! 

House of Q received an invitation to attend the Jack Daniels World Championships to be held in Lynchburg, Tennessee on October 24th. This event will gather eighty teams from all over the world to compete for THE top bbq bragging rights as well as $30,000 in prizes.

The following weekend, House of Q will return to the Best of the Best competition held at the National BBQ Festival in Douglas, Georgia.  This event has two cooking competetitions: the top 50 teams in North America for the invitational on October 30th and the open competition held on October 31.  This is the event that the Slow Smoke Gold Slather and Sauce won 5th best mustard sauce and the Apple Butter BBQ Sauce won 3rd place as the best fruit sauce in North America.

It all started with a day trip to Whistler, BC to see a bbq competition in the summer of 2004. Innocently bbq magic happened that day.

Many of us cook outdoors. It's even something we grew up with... dad cooking steaks or an uncle cooking burgers at the picnic.

That's what we knew of bbq until experiencing a bbq competition.

On the return home to Vancouver, the very beginnings of House of Q was born.

Glenn and Brian declared they were going to compete at the same competition in Whistler the next year.

A couple of years later after quite a few competitions and gathering a collection of bbq awards from all over North America, House of Q is now more than just a couple of guys who love to cook. The duo has been featured on Global TV BC providing the BBQ Tip of Week and demonstrating on the Outdoor Stage at the BC Home and Garden Show.

They have also launched their own line of award winning bbq sauces and if you can catch them, they teach cooking classes.

Imagine that? It really was only supposed to be a simple day trip to Whistler but by looking at the smiles on their faces, there really is something else to experience around the House of Q.
