This wo ateur relies on Tuffy Sto circ aur and rest What s next for itive barbecue payoffs. nation s compet O J REI of the NIE B This was an outstanding effort to chronicle the final moments of a beloved local business...it s an engaging and heartbreaking piece of journalism. STOR Y AND STEPH PHOT Super timely, beautiful retelling of this case...with so many selections for this particular category, this story stood out. OS BY A T here s a treasure trove in Lakeside to which Tuffy Stone will only sheepishly lay claim. In a crowded nook around a quiet corner as if intentionally hidden tiny, glimmering pigs, cows, chickens, stars and angels perch atop dozens of multi-tiered trophies, one or two standing 4 feet tall. It is, quite literally, an embarrassment of riches for a man so modest: more than a decade s worth of awards earned on the competitive barbecue circuit. The first thing to know about barbecue is that cooking it is a sport in its own right. With more than 20,000 members in the Kansas City Barbeque Society the world s largest barbecue-focused organization and more than 500 annual events each drawing dozens of teams, the widely adored culinary art is more popular now than ever. And it requires more than a bottle of Sweet Baby Ray s off your grocer s shelf. richmondmagazine.com September /9/16 3:56 PMTuffy_Stone_rm_1016.indd 69 Tuffy_Stone_rm_1016.indd 68 First-place feature writing 9/9/16 3:57 PM First-place business writing Smoke and No Mirrors, October 2016 This was just a great read...
