Bite and Booze's BBQ Recipe for
Blackberry Bourbon Bone-In Boston Butt 

 has finished the 
Tony Chachere’s Tailgate Cook-off in
FIRST PLACE!

After months of tireless voting, Jay Ducote's recipe, which represented LSU against the other 11 universities in the SEC, has claimed the top spot in the Tony Chachere's and Comcast Sports South Tailgating Cook-off!  The final tally for the top three after round one looked like this:

1. LSU - 75,357
2. Ole Miss - 67,475
3. Mississippi State - 66,440

I then cooked the recipe on campus at the LSU vs Ole Miss football game tailgate party in Baton Rouge on November 20th.  We filmed the cook-off for an episode of SportsNite that featured the recipes.  

The final round was also be determined by online voting, which I also won.
