This year the weather obliged with temperatures reaching 25 degrees and even more in the BBQ area of Howleys Key in Limerick with the backdrop of the historic St.Mary's Cathedral and the majestic River Shannon .Last year I failed miserably to capture the occasion on video with the inclement weather and ended up constantly wiping the drops of rain from the lens, (a nightmare for a video/camera enthusiast).The sun duly obliged this time.

The winners for Saturday included the Limerick Filipino Community for the Salmon and hygiene category, Limerick City Fire Brigade in the Chicken, lamb category winner was The Thai Gourmet Chef representing Thailand, and Jonathan Philips from the Limerick Institute of Technology won the award for the best sauce. The Congo team won first place in the chicken .Transylvania won the first place award for best costume and the Congo for the happy home. The buzz and the excitement for Saturday was incredible the different musical sounds from the African Conga Drums, The Brazilian Samba sounds and accompanying dancers , to the English Team accompanied with their IPOD and speakers playing the sounds of the Kinks "Waterloo Sunset".

Sunday's event was the chef's challenge and this is a serious competition with ...
