Well today was the NRG Battle of the Regions and it was awesome! We started at around 8 am driving to the plant about 20 minutes from the hotel. The guys spent the night on the trailer (It was pretty chilly when we left the night before). Everyone was really impressed with the Shiner Beer that the guys imported and we made quite a few great trades for it! We got a big bag of Shrimp and they spiced them and threw them on the grill (we were getting pretty burnt out on BBQ) We also traded for two large bags of chicken breasts and they spiced them up and grilled them for the mass taste testing that occurred that evening in the tent. When the guys came back to the trailed we proudly showed them our chicken and they said let me guess another Shiner trade!
All the people were so awesome and the people from the Huntley Power Plant were such wonderful hosts! They wanted to make sure we understood that all people from NY were not rude and this was definitely true!
We ended up taking first in Dessert, First in Baseball and Second in Food! We lost by they claim less than one point to the Western Region and the defending Champs (South Central) won Third. We are convinced that we lost because the baseball team won and we want them to judge the food BEFORE the final game next year! OH WELL IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE AND WELL WORTH EVERYTHING!
