🎄🍖 Join Us for a Holiday BBQ Competition and Potluck! 🍖🎄
I’m thrilled to announce an incredible event coming up! On Wednesday, December 11, 2024, I, along with 14 other nationally ranked Professional Pitmasters, will host a Holiday BBQ Competition and Potluck at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (JFKSWCS) in the JFK Auditorium parking lot. This unique "Pitmaster for the Day" experience is designed to bring Soldiers together, celebrate camaraderie and teamwork, and share the art of great BBQ.
📅 Event Details:
The festivities kick off in the morning and wrap up with an awards ceremony at 3:00 PM, followed by a potluck-style early dinner featuring the mouthwatering BBQ cooked throughout the day.
💡 What to Expect:
Teams of 2-4 Soldiers from JFKSWCS will pair up with 15 renowned professional BBQ pitmasters and their teams.
Soldiers will learn the ropes of BBQ, from meat selection, trimming, and injecting to rub pairings, smoking techniques, and presentation.
A lively competition judged by JFKSWCS Headquarters personnel, including the Commanding General, and overseen by certified Kansas City BBQ Society representatives to ensure fairness and top-notch judging.
We invite anyone in the area to stop by, meet the talented BBQ teams, witness the action, and enjoy the incredible smells wafting through the air. It’s going to be an unforgettable day filled with BBQ, camaraderie, and holiday cheer.
🙏 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:
A huge shout-out to Royal Oak Charcoal for their generous donation of a 1,000-pound pallet of charcoal, which is fueling this event (literally!). I’ll be sharing more about our amazing sponsors and their contributions after the event.
This day is about more than BBQ—it’s about fostering morale, teamwork, and community. I can’t wait to share this experience with you all and celebrate the holiday season with Soldiers and pitmasters alike.
Hope to see you there! 🔥
