River City Smoke – Off Is A Hit

We had  a really fun weekend in Columbus watching daughter Megan, aka project-housewife.com host the first annual River City Smoke-off.

Project-housewife challenged John McLemore, president of Masterbuilt and her husband’s boss, and chef Jamie Keating from Epic to a smoke off .

Rosie The Riveter for the win

They duked it out in the boxing ring all day long in order to raise money for the Trinity Women’s Clinic.

The day started early as meat was prepared and grills were moved into position.

The teams began to arrive at noon and the smell of  ribs, stuffed duck and smokey pimento cheese was soon driving the downtown employees crazy.

The crowd began to gather as the six o’clock hour approached and the celebrity judges took their seats.
