American Royal BBQ, Kansas City
If you can’t get enough of that BBQ flavour, or want to pick up some tips on how to cook the best BBQ food this could just be the event for you!
2nd to 5th October 2008 sees the 29th occurrence of the largest BBQ contest in the world with some 500 teams competing. Contestants have to cook 10 pounds of meat (beef, pork or lamb) and are awarded marks out of 10 for their efforts.
There is a lot more going on besides the BBQ competition:
• A huge BBQ trade fair
• Numerous horse shows
• Rodeo and bull riding
• Music concerts (many are free)
• Family events
• Heaps of shopping (including a western marketplace)
• Western art show and sale
• Livestock auctions and competitions
Friday night is deemed ‘THE’ night to go as its pretty much a non-stop party (after the work day ends) with BBQ and beer. If you can blag your way into one of the BBQ team’s own parties so much the better!
