A local team won the Backyard competition for the 2021 Real Squeal. Justin Aaron of Bad Habits BBQ said he’s from Lyons, but now lives in Vidalia.
“This is our third year competing,” he said. “It’s just a great time to be with people you don’t get to see very often.”
When asked if the secret to winning was “in the sauce,” he laughs and said, “It’s a secret!”
Aaron says he plans on competing again next year.
In addition to the overall win, Bad Habits BBQ won second place in the Backyard division for chicken, and first place for ribs.
