About

All You Can Eat BBQ tastings, hush puppies, slaw and more! This annual BBQ competition features ~25 teams from across NC all vying for your vote for the coveted People’s Choice Award. The experts save room to sample all offerings from every team and know where to find desserts, lemonade and other bribes for your vote. Best yet, all proceeds go to charity.

As in previous years, this event is held in conjunction with the Got to Be NC Festival.
We highly recommend picking up your tickets online. However, tickets are also available at the door.
