Part of Saturday's lunch is in the cooler for a rest.

Looking amazing Rob!

Nothing like a great lunch to take the sting out of a yanked shot or two.

LOOKS YUMMY! We get to judge the judges food now. Looks like it is worth the the price of admission and then some. cant wait to have some Rob.

Very tasty stuff! Can’t wait to try it!

For anyone attending from Eastern Ontario it seems all lanes are supposed to be closed on the 401 around Ajax from Sept 11-15. You might want to investigate further and plan for it. Details seem to be slim right now.

Here are the photos taken today at day one.
