Part 2 of 6: KCBS Judge Seating Program Series w/ Mark Gibbs of Checkered Flag 500

On the second episode of the KCBS Judge Seating Program Series, Kurt talks with Mark Gibbs, Pitmaster of Checkered Flag 500 out of Fawn Grove, PA about starting BBQ at the height of BBQ Pitmasters in 2012 thinking “I can do this”, bought Myron Mixon’s cookbook, cooked over 170 contests, his most memorable contest, humble beginnings, why he started the original KCBS judge seating program, the pros and cons, how KCBS has since removed the judge seating program and is possibly looking for another alternative, and more!

“The first step of fairness is to have a fair playing field for judges.”
