Tommy Houston, who owns the Checkered Pig in Martinsville, won the West Nugget Rib Cook-off in Sparks, Nevada.
It was Houston's third year in the competition. He had never placed before, so this year he adapted his sauce to suit Western tastes.
He says he made his ribs spicier, smokier and less sweet.
Houston won 75-hundred dollars, a four foot trophy and bragging rights for a year.
The five day cookoff used 130 thousand pounds of ribs.
