When it comes to barbecuing, Angie Quaale and David Gassaway proved to be the best in Canada.

Well Seasoned and The Canada Q Crew were competing in Whistler over the weekend at the Canadian national barbecue championships.

Up against 40 other competitive barbeque teams at Canada鈥檚 largest competition, Quaale and Gassaway were tops among Canadian entries, and second overall, losing only to Washington鈥檚 Wine Country Q, who claimed the grand champions spot.

Well Seasoned and The Canada Q Crew won the reserve champion title, the first time they have accomplished the feat.

Last year, the team won the grand championship at Kelowna鈥檚 Smoke on the Water competition.

鈥淚t鈥檚 quite an honour to be recognized as the best team in Canada, especially when the calibre of our competitors is so high,鈥� said Quaale, the team鈥檚 BBQ pitmaster.

鈥淭he Whistler event attracts the best of the best and now we really can say we鈥檙e one of them.鈥�

Quaale is the only female barbecue pitmaster in B.C. and was the first Canadian female to become a certified head judge by the Pacific Northwest Barbecue Association.

She is also the owner of Well Seasoned gourmet food store and cooking school in 91原创 and the founder of the annual Well Seasoned Barbecue on the Bypass, Greater Vancouver鈥檚 largest barbecue competition which will take place on Sunday, September 18th.
