The sport of competition barbecue cooking is spreading rapidly. Each weekend all over the United States cooking teams, judges and spectators gather to celebrate the warmth and friendship at contests. There are many associations that sponsor these events, the two largest being Memphis In May (MIM) and the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS).
Each group conducts schools that train teams and judges in the rules and grading criteria for their association. The fact that a contest is going to have all certified judges has taken on a great deal of importance to the cooking teams because the average expense for them to compete on a weekend is around eight hundred dollars. Some spend less, but many spend a lot more.
If you plan on attending a contest and wish to
visit with the teams, I recommend attending on Friday night. This is the
time for social interaction and meeting new folks. Saturday is contest
day, and is all business which leaves little time for causal conversation.
If you have additional questions, please contact any team member or any
affiliate of the National Barbecue News.
