Roll Call. Inside 30 days. 1st Annual Scottsdale, AZ BBQ Cook-off - April 9th and 10th

Crash · Mar 10, 2010

This KCBS Official State Championship event is already up to 35 teams with a lot more room for additional teams. Prize fund is up to 20K and it looks like there are some pretty sweet sponsors as well, including Basha's, Viking, Toby Keith's Bar and Grill, Four Peaks Brewery and Jack Daniels. Additionally, Lynne Tolley, the Grand Niece of Jack Daniels will be hanging out in the JD Whiskey Tent visiting with teams and the public.

There will also be cooking demos & classes, a Kid's Zone, a ton of vendors and a huge VIP party & dinner on Friday night. Tours will be given of the competitor area for VIP's to meet the teams and live music on Friday and Saturday will definitely draw in a large crowd. Oh yeah, it also looks like there will be a Daisy Duke Beauty Pageant on Saturday as well. :-D

There will also be a Backyard competition for all of the new teams that want to get involved with this event. Additionally, there will be a Kid's Que for any kids that want to cook this competition.

Electric, water, ice and grey water/ash disposal are all included. Standard site size is 30'x30', 30'x50' is available at no additional cost if you need it.

There's also going to be a lot of local media, as well as national media, in attendance. There's a good chance that your team will get some solid "face-time" with this much media at this event.

This sounds like the premier event for AZ this year. Who's going to make it to this one?

VRM Pit Crew will be there!!!

McFrankenboo BBQ is on this one! This will be right at the end of the whirlwind next 6 weeks for us, but what a way to cap it off!! I mean really, a Jack Daniels tent with the on of his relatives? How cool is that! We're definitely looking forward to this one especially with the weather this time of year! If you're on the fence about this one, I would highly recommend it!

Desertdog · Mar 29, 2010

Anyone else going to make it out for this one? Looks like the weather is going to be in the 70's and lots of sunshine.

In Scottsdale that means lots of pretty girls showing off thier tans.......:thumb:

A wise man once said: "It's easier to get forgivness than permission". That being said, we hope to see you in Scottsdale.

Oh yeah, the crowd is supposed to be huge, so plan on getting there early if you want to sample the competitors food. I cant imagine that most teams will have samples available past 3pm.
