Open to\u00a0all military branches in the Puget Sound region, the event designed to give military cooks an opportunity to brandish their culinary prowess against one another.<br\/><br\/> This was Wojcik&#8217;s first time competing. <br\/><br\/> Several days before the event, Wojcik paid close attention to his barbecue pork ribs, continuously marinating, basting and seasoning. His efforts paid off; the resulting ribs became an entr\u00e9e that &#8220;literally fell off the bone.&#8221;\u00a0<br\/><br\/> Cmdr. Robert McMahon, the hospital&#8217;s director for administration, was so impressed by Wojcik&#8217;s ribs that he announced that the dish was to be added to the command&#8217;s menu schedule immediately. &#8220;[These ribs] are so good that we are going to replace the ribs we now offer with them on the 21-day menu rotation,&#8221; he said.<br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When sailors think of Naval Hospital Bremerton in Washington state, they probably don\u2019t think of award-winning barbecue
