For the past 8 years, Meridian Group and Launch come together in Joe’s backyard to compete in a barbecue competition to see what kind of culinary geniuses lie among us. Each person in the agency is divided into teams to come up with a name, signage and a unique menu utilizing the ingredients picked by Joe that year. Catch is - you don’t find out the ingredients, your team or if there is a “secret” ingredient until the day before. This year, we’re happy to report that 6 of us Launchers came home with a prize or a close close second. Chelsea (our dedicated and hard-working Intern) and Mel’s team won for Best Ribs; Jasmine and Melissa’s team won for Best Appetizer/Side/Salad using Bacon; Nick won the Corn Hole competition; and Zach Young came in a VERY close second in the pie-eating contest. For a recap and recipes from the event, scroll through Meridian Group’s WHY blog!
