Poke In Da Eye World Championship BBQ & Catering

We started competition cooking in 1993 because it was something my bride and I could do together and not go out to the bars! After three years of cooking under the name Paradigm Cookers (sponsored by Paradigm Valves) we changed our name to Poke In Da Eye! The reason you may ask is because Paradigm Valves was sold to another company and they were not interested in sponsoring a Bar-B-Que team, so we needed to change our name as well. We competed in a couple events under the name "Black Jack Cookers" - sometimes you win sometimes you lose!
