will bbq be available for the general public or is this only a competition? i live an hour away and don’t want to drive there if none of the good q is available to eat. thanks
This is a sanctioned KCBS competition. Knowing that many people are very curious about BBQ and that the competition is held on the streets of downtown Nelsonville we encourage the public to attend. This year we will be having several food vendors serving various types of BBQ as well as other items. These vendors will be located on W. Washington St. and at the corner of Rocky Boot Way and Canal St.
Most teams are quite social and will answer questions but please be aware that this is also a competition and during preparation and turn in the team members will be very busy and be focused on the competition.
