This is a bit different than the usual KCBS contest that we normally do.
- The entries are chicken, ribs, and pulled pork. No brisket is required.
- The judges will be local professional chefs (instead of BBQ judges).
- It is a single day event with teams setting up at 6am and turn in times at 3:30 to 4:30pm.
- Entry fees are $75 per category or $200 for the whole event.
So it's a bit smaller prize but it's also a smaller contest so you have better chances to win. This is the type of contest that's especially well suited for newer teams or people that don't want to do a full blown, 2 day sanctioned BBQ contest. We'd consider going except we'll be in Florida on a scalloping expedition that week.
More information, rules, and contest entry form can be found at the ACF-Chattanooga's Facebook page.
