Chow Down on Some of the World's Best BBQ!

Serious BBQ and a Whole Lotta Fun!

There's a reason that "BBQ" is part of the name of the Bikes, Blues & BBQ rally. Every year some of the best BBQ teams from around the country come here to compete in the KCBS Barbeque Cook-Off and the Arkansas State BBQ Championship. Starting Friday morning the air will be filled with the smoky aroma of barbequed chicken, ribs, pork, and beef brisket as the teams begin to prepare for the competition.

Public tasting of this world class BBQ will begin Friday evening at the Baum Stadium East parking lot. This is your chance to come and sample the best BBQ around. You can even make your opinion count by voting for your favorite in the People's Choice competition to help crown this year's champion. This entire evening is open to the public and is fun for the whole family.

Saturday morning is when the serious judging begins. This is a closed judging session and no BBQ will be served to the public. Official KCBS judges and guest judges will begin tasting and judging selections from each of the four categories and picking the best of the bunch. All this leads to the awards ceremony on Saturday afternoon when the best of the best are named and trophies and cash prizes are awarded.

To find out how you can become a judge for the KCBS BBQ Cook-Off or get information about your entry application, please contact Ron Autry at rautry@aepspan.com.
