Sugarfire Smoke House’s Mike Johnson took home first place in the Baked Beans category and placed third in Side Dish Overall at the 2019 American Royal World Series of Barbecue®. The Sides Competition was divided into three categories: Baked Beans, Potatoes and Vegetables and the combined scores from each category determined the overall champion. With a perfect score coming from five out of six judges, the Sugarfire team dominated the Baked Beans category with Sugarfire’s signature hot & spicy Baked Beans, topped with a Fergolicious BBQ Burnt End. The first-place score was then combined with Johnson’s Potato and Vegetable scores, with the mean of all three landing Sugarfire third place in the Side Dish Overall.
