Each card leads with the number that made it a story — read straight out of their results, no editorialising.
Contest to contest, they've covered roughly 5,381 miles across 2 mapped stops — the longest single trip being 5,381 miles to Farm Meat "De Vaartse Hoeve" BBQ.
The nearest teams in the power rankings, with a different reason on each card — six teams on one rating are rarely on it for the same reason. Rating decides who makes the list; where teams tie on it, the ones this team has actually cooked against come first, then teams at a similar point in their own career. KCBS doesn’t publish where a team is from, so nothing here is inferred from geography.
P.I.G.S. has 2 rated contests — short of the five it takes to earn a power ranking — so this rating has barely moved off the 1500 every team starts on and 140 rated teams sit within a point of it. Read the list as the nearest company at a number nobody here has moved far from, not as a verdict on who this team belongs with.
One contest in common so far: too few to settle anything, but a team P.I.G.S. has actually stood beside rather than a stranger on the same rating.
