I only have enough Brisket Injection to do my briskets but I think I have enough chicken soak for the two of us. Swing by when you get there and i'll see if I have enough.

Any word on whether we can purchase our RR Sirloin from any Vons store.
I was going to get my meat on Wed and it's a 2 hour roundtrip drive for me to purchase from the specified Orange County store.
I don't want to chance it that they won't have meat on Friday.
Please advise.
Thanks

Harry, for Morgan Hill we purchased our Rancher's Reserve from the Safeway in Gilroy (the next town over). Kelly just verified that it was RR from the packaging and then matched up the price on the packages to the receipt I had from the Safeway store. It didn't seem to matter which store it was purchased at, just that it was in fact actual RR top sirloin.

Obviously you can't take my word for it, but I think you would be ok purchasing locally as long it is indeed the same meat.

Hey Harry, you can buy the top sirloin from ANY Vons/Safeway. You just have to bring the receipt!

[Kelleigh Strobel]

just to clarify:

Ranchers Reserve meat does not have to be purchased at the listed Vons. You can pick up product from any local Vons/Safeway and bring your receipt. You can still register for the top sirloin category at the ranchers reserve website. The top sirloin must be turned in the standard KCBS foam turn in container. teams will be provided with the foam containers.

The Resers potato salad contest: I will have a registration form at the cooks meeting for those wishing to participate in the 6th category. Turn in time will be 1:45 pm and members of the Reser's company will participate in the judging. You must be willing to submit your recipe in this contest. Potato salad must also be turned in in the standard foam container.

There is no additional charge to the teams for either of these two additional categories.

Anyone with special requests for PC items...tomorrow at noon is your drop dead last opportunity to submit a request!

If the potato salad is served skin on, does the skin have to be bite thru?

Looks like 4 teams from the North are making the trek...all rookies. I guess no one else is chasing the ToY from up north?

[Darry Smith]

We just can't get away to go, we're trying to hang in the top 10 this year with a limited schedule. May be hard to accomplish.

Good luck to the class of '11.

Ya, I hear ya. Was hoping to see a few veterans go to battle with us, but looks like you guys are just sending in us greenhorns to get the job done.

There is still time to sign up for the Ranchers Reserve Beef Cup! You MUST pre-register before arriving on Friday! That leaves you with less than 48 hours to register.
