BBQ Capital Cook-off

In a city renowned for its heritage of slow cooking pork shoulders over hickory wood that is known world wide as Lexington-style barbecue, it seems logical that a barbecue cook-off would take place on our streets!
If you love great barbecue, wine, and music, you’ll want to be in Lexington for the area’s first BBQ cook-off.

Sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS), the event is bringing competitive chefs and judges from across the United States. Barbecue vendors will enable you to taste a wide variety of types of barbecue. Other activities include a visit from the Johnsonville Brats Big Taste Grill, the Inaugural Southern Gateway Wine Festival, four bands, a classic motorcycle show, kids activities and much more!
This event is poised to become Lexington's spring compliment to the October Lexington Barbecue Festival that just celebrated their 27th anniversary with over 100,000 people!

Join them in uptown Lexington on Friday and Saturday, April 22-23, 2011 for the Inaugural BBQ Capital Cook-off!
