See the Difference?

We were up in Reno yesterday and today. Of course, we had to stop by the Famous Dave's there. This time I grabbed some pics to I could show y'all the difference between a competition level Dave's and that crap emporium in SF Bay Area (ask me what I really think, LOL).
I got the full rack rib plate as always:
Honestly, all the sides were just A LITTLE lacking. I think Dave's is using pre-packaged stuff nowadays. It still was pretty good but not quite up to former par. Here's a better view of the ribs (which were spot on):
She got the grilled chicken plate as usual:
Grabbed some pics of their competition trailer and pit also:
It's really a shame that so much of the chain seems to have gone downhill. The one in Chattanooga was great, and this one is a major competitor in the Reno BBQ cook offs. It's one of, if not the biggest BBQ championships in the West Coast area. Dave's is usually good for a win, place or show in at least one category and is guaranteed to make it to the finals.

- All their cook secrets written on the pit, lol
- Catering trucks behind the trailer.
