Nothin Butt Fun Cook Team Wins Showmanship

In just their second year at the Lake Gaston Chamber Battle of the Barbecue, Nothin Butt Fun with Chief Cook Steve Ivey and his team took home first place in the Showmanship category.  This close family team from Zuni, VA, by Franklin, VA used honoring service men and women as their theme.  With personal uniforms representing the police, fire and military adorning the walls of their small tent, they impressed the judges and everyone else we asked.
