Danny,
Sorry I missed you but I had to split right after judging to get home
and cook for my gang. As far as vending goes... it's up to the organizer.
There's nothing in the FBA rules about vending.
Come on out to Minneola on Halloween. Great contest. I'll be cooking my
final contest as the Boca Boys. I'm going back to just judging and repping
contests after that. Friday night is always a party. I'm cooking leg of
lamb.
