Carnivore paradise
This Labor Day weekend brought on the 18th annual Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-Off at Victorian Square in Sparks. Reno locals as well as many out of towners crowded the streets of Victorian square for the fantastic aromas of mouthwatering barbecue ribs.
All week I dreamed of a paradise where delicious BBQ ribs were in every direction. I grew up eating the best ribs in the world provided by the master, Floyd Gray, my dad. I was extremely excited to go to the cook off this weekend and eat up a feast.
The biggest and best names in Barbequing were competing for a chance at $15,000 dollars in cash while serving their best to hundreds of rumbling tummies. The blistering sun didn't stop the enormous crowd from enjoying the outdoor activities the cook-off had to offer. There were fruit flavor snow cones, fresh lemonade, and ice cold beer.
There were also many activities for the young and old alike. Many bands such as WAR and deSol were playing this weekend along with carnival rides to entertain the kids. Right smack outside of the Century 14 cinema, dozens of children played in the fountain to keep cool from the sizzling summer sun.
Christina Weisgerber and her 2-year-old daughter Anabella played in the fountains and came from the Bay Area for the weekend. We came for the cook off and had ribs from Chicago BBQ Co, it was definitely our favorite said Weisgerber.
Even my (sort of) Vegetarian boyfriend Matt enjoyed a slab of ribs. Vegetarian ...yeah right.
The rib cook-off is a perfect end for the summer, a final lip-smacking treat thats sure to satisfy the carnivore in everyone.
