Blue collar cooks with a fine wine charm.

Ribtide
MCRCO is thrilled to welcome “RIBTIDE” a new competitor in 2024. The team is a group of ambitious men who are novices at ribs and surfing, but are willing to give both a try…in Marshfield?!

Saints BBQ
A Saint’s BBQ rib aims to focus more on the rub, and is not as saucy or wet as some other ribs. It combines a homemade savory rub with a thin coating of a sweet glaze that keeps the rib moist, but does not overpower the rub.
