BBQ Showdown

Melani Caron

On Sept. 7 the Quail Creek Food and Beverage team and I traveled to Robson Ranch Texas for the Third Annual BBQ Showdown. This event included all five Robson communities who came together to compete for the best BBQ. At this event, Denton County Brewery and Robson’s Ranch Hand Brewery showcased the new Ranchero Rojo beer, which was a favorite. A variety of local vendors came out for residents to enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine. This event is very similar to our local Chef’s Gala.

SaddleBrooke Ranch, PebbleCreek, Robson Ranch Arizona, Quail Creek, and Robson Ranch Texas each had a station with delicious food and drinks. There was a great turnout of 250 guests who voted for their favorite station. Please join me in congratulating the Food and Beverage team from Quail Creek, as we won the judges’ choice for best food. SaddleBrooke Ranch won the people’s choice, and Robson Ranch Texas won the best display! Congrats to the chefs and their staff for a job well done.
