On Monday, September 28, about 70 food professionals helped us judge more than seven hundred products submitted by companies in 60+ categories for the 2016 Scovie Awards Competition. The judging was blind, in coded cups, so no judge knew the products he or she was tasted, although they did know the category, like Processed Fruit Salsa. Here’s what the main dining room of the Country Line Barbecue looked like this past Monday. (Photos by Hans Wressnigg)

- Here’s a typical judging table with the tasting director standing and six judges with cooling beverages ready to judge. Notice the red bags in the upper right hand corner. These are product goodie bags for the judges.
