BBQ Is The Hottest New Competitive Sport!!

Did you know that BBQ is rising to the top as one of the nation's fastest-growing competition sports? That's right! Die-hard grillers from around the nation are going head to head to see who can cook the best chicken, ribs, pulled pork, and brisket.

Competition Details

Competitions are held all over the States, several times per year. They last an entire weekend. Everyone checks in to the competition site (normally a campground or a park) on Thursday and sets up camp. Friday is a full day of preparation - marinating, rubbing, injecting, and test-cooking. Saturday morning, everyone is up and starting cooking early so they can be ready to turn in their perfected meats on time, and then the judging takes place. Saturday evening is busy with a high-spirited awards ceremony to cap off the weekend. On Sunday, everyone packs up and heads home, ready to relax and recoup before hitting the next competition.

Judging

The judges take their duties very seriously. All judges must go through a day-long certification process, and must complete the Official KCBS Barbecue Judges' Oath before judging each competition:

"I do solemnly swear
To objectively and subjectively evaluate
Each Barbecue Meat
That is presented
To my eyes,
my nose,
my hands,
and my palate.
I accept my duty
To be a [name of contest] judge,
So that truth,
justice,
excellence in barbecue,
and the American Way of Life,
May be strengthened and preserved forever."


It's The Real Deal!

Like the judges, the participants in these competitions take it very seriously - as well they should! The Barbecue Championships Series boast a grand prize of $75,000! Die-hard competitors will participate in up to 40 competitions per year. Some champions use their money to start their own BBQ restaurant or catering business, and some choose to maintain their traveling lifestyle and continue competing for the love of great BBQ and great memories.

If you feel inspired to try your own hand at competition BBQ and need some inspiration, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse can help! We may not be actively involved in the competition circuit, but that doesn't mean we don't know how to make some mean brisket! Come by and see us for the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks!
