Join us at the Jamil Shrine Temple for the annual Jamil Temple BBQ Cook-Off, a fun and flavorful BBQ competition that brings together some of the best pitmasters in the area to showcase their skills while supporting a meaningful cause. This event is a great way to enjoy top-notch BBQ, live entertainment, and the camaraderie of the community.
The event kicks off on Friday evening with the exciting Anything Butt competition, where participants serve up creative dishes that go beyond traditional BBQ pork. From appetizers to snacks and desserts, the possibilities are endless, and guests will have the opportunity to sample these unique offerings and vote for their favorites. This is a People’s Choicecompetition, with the winner taking home a $500 prize and a trophy. It’s a lively, flavorful way to start the weekend, and the public is invited to come out, enjoy the food, and cast their vote.
On Saturday, the BBQ competition heats up with teams competing in the Pork and Rib categories, sanctioned by the SBN BBQ Network. Pitmasters will be firing up their grills and smokers to deliver mouthwatering BBQ for a chance to win cash prizes and trophies. The Grand Champion will be crowned based on overall performance, and additional prizes will be awarded for the best ribs and other categories. Judging is conducted by certified BBQ judges, ensuring a fair and delicious competition.
In addition to the BBQ competition, there will be live entertainment, vendors, and a family-friendly atmosphere that makes this event perfect for all ages. Whether you’re a BBQ enthusiast or just looking for a great way to spend the weekend, the Jamil Temple BBQ Cook-Off offers something for everyone.
