2004 Another Banner Year for Kentucky BourbonQ
Kentucky BourbonQ announces the barbecue awards received during the 2004 year. Awards include a 2004 Scovie Award, accepted internationally as the top award for spicy foods, and 1st & 2nd Place People's Choice Awards at the 2004 International Zesty Food Show
PRWEB) February 2, 2005 -- With yet another strong showing in multiple arenas of barbecue competition, Louisville-based Kentucky BourbonQ has shown once again why their products are the “BEST!” Shane Best, president of the 20 year old company, continues to create international champions with his winning combination of all-natural ingredients and award-winning packaging. A 2004 Scovie Award and 1st and 2nd Place People’s Choice Awards at the International Zesty Food Show in Dallas, TX, are among the awards bestowed upon Kentucky BourbonQ in the year 2004. While the Scovie competition is widely accepted as the top award for hot and spicy foods internationally, Best is more proud of his sweep of the People’s Choice Awards in Dallas. As Best pointed out: “Recognition from internationally renowned food experts is of course flattering. But I’ve always been more tickled when we get feedback from the customers. To win both 1st and 2nd Place People’s Choice Awards at an international food show in Texas is one of my biggest accomplishments. Because, as we all know, Texans know good barbecue!”
The recent Scovie Award is not the first received by Kentucky BourbonQ; they also received the honor from the 2001 ballot. Presented by Fiery-Foods and BBQ Magazine, along with Sunbelt Shows, producers of the National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show, the Scovie Awards were recently announced in Albuquerque, NM. The awards, named for Wilbur Scoville who pioneered a rating scale for spicy foods, have become the industry standard for excellence in over 60 categories of fiery foods.
Dave DeWitt, long considered the father of the fiery foods industry and producer of the National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show, noted: “I am proud to see how the Scovie Awards have become the preeminent award for hot and spicy foods. Our entries come from every corner of the globe, and our winners hail from 39 states and four countries. This year’s Scovie winners really exemplify the diversity and quality of this industry. It is not so much about heat as about the wonderful flavors of fiery foods.”
