Meat started flying at a Danville barbecue festival during a fight between grill masters; brisket was the weapon.

Danville police were called to the Kentucky State BBQ Festival at 10:15 a.m. Sunday after a woman was hit with a brisket during a fight, according to a police news release.

Mary Berry, 35, of Bardstown told police she was hit in the right shoulder, neck and head by a brisket whose temperature was estimated to be 200 to 250 degrees. She was working at the festival for Fire House BBQ, the news release said.

Berry was treated at the festival by Boyle County emergency crews.

Wasting good brisket in a food fight ought to be a capital offense. Stab at each other with grill forks instead.

Damn. When pigs fly duck.

Some people take their brisket very seriously!

First they came for the brisket, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a brisket lover.
Then they came for the BBQ chicken, and I did not speak out—
Because I didn’t like BBQ chicken.
Then they came for the babyback ribs, and I did not speak out—

this really isn’t going anywhere

In this here sitseation... When it comes to the brisket, the 3 second rule is suspended indefinitely.

[Resolute Conservative]

Just dust it off and apply more sauce.

All I read about was the poor brisket being abused.

What happened to the wontons?”

Who let the Chinese into a brisket cook-off?

[libstripper]

Absolutely!! Worst of all, that sounded like a perfectly cooked brisket, true nectar of the gods.

...after tempers flared between Owings and another barbecue pit master over the sharing of a cooker.

What self-respecting competitive pit boss shares a cooker???!!!

[libstripper]

Be careful. Don’t give the Chinese any ideas. Once they start cooking brisket, they might do it better than everybody else.

Isn’t brisket beef?

[trisham]

Yum...

"Be careful. Don’t give the Chinese any ideas. Once they start cooking brisket, they might do it better than everybody else."

And they will be able to come up with 100 different entrees using only brisket and bean sprouts.
