The only thing we ask is that the dish feature rice. This contest will be a people’s choice judging. Please make enough for 200 samples.
Kids Que – The Burger will again be the star in this highly successful event. Kids, 6 – 16 years old, under the supervision of a participating cook team or parent will be grilling their best burgers.

There will be a brisket throwdown at Noon.
There are 15 available slots. Qualifying teams will be contacted by the SBN.
The slots will be determined by inviting the Grand Champions of SBN Contests for the period of 1 year prior to the contest date. If a team has multiple wins, we will pass the invitation down to Reserve Champion, etc. until each contest is represented.
The remaining slots will be filled by inviting the top teams in the points race until all 15 slots are filled.
This is going to be an exciting contest. We are looking forward to a weekend of cooking challenges and fun in Moncks Corner.
The throwdowns will be handled in the usual manner. We will register all of the teams interested in participating after the cook’s meeting.
The cost to enter the Brisket Throwdown will be $25 cash with a 70/30 split between first and second place. The Lions Club will also provide a tangible prize like a trophy or ribbon.
