Kitchen fire scotches plans for BBQ cookoff

August 7, 2011
A second kitchen fire at the home of "Border" Bob Hovish has forced him to cancel the Back Yard BBQ Cook Off competition originally scheduled for September 10.

But that doesn't mean it won't happen ... Bob said he's now planning to kick off the event next year. (You can read about it by clicking here.)

Last year, Bob's kitchen caught fire, destroying it and causing smoke and heat damage throughout most of his house. He was still in the process of rebuilding when another fire broke out several days ago, not causing quite as much damage as the first one, but doing enough that the rebuilding process has to begain anew.

"I think I'd better stick to cooking outside!" he said Saturday evening while catering to the boys in the band at the Gatlin Brothers concert.
