During the 4-H State Cooking Char-Grill Competition last week, two Edgecombe County teens came out on top with their uniquely executed grilled pork recipes.
The competitors were scored on categories such as: professionalism, safety, uniquity, flavor, and execution. While all of the dishes tasted that day were delicious two young men stood out and took home the gold for their age division.

Brilen Anderson
Brilen Anderson won Gold for the Intermediate Pork Char-Grill with his “Tailgate Special” bone-in pork chops.

Dawson Britt
Dawson Britt won Gold for the Senior Pork Char-Grill with his “Island Bliss” pork tenderloins.
We commend these young grill connoisseurs for their exceptional mastery of the art of grilling pork!
