Kosher BBQ Comp in Chicago June 1st

[BBQ Rabbi]

Hi Guys,

I wanted to let the Chicago area people know about a great new event happening in Lakeview on June 1st

The First Chicago Kosher BBQ Comp www.chikosherbbq.org

Its unique that its a 100% kosher event, the organizers provide the smokers ( all Webers, 1 WSM 22.5 and 1 one touch silver 22.5 per team) and the meat most if not all ingredients (they give you a list to pick from and anything not on it you have to buy and it needs to be certified kosher) they also provide all the utensils.

There are still a few spots open, its filling in fast, PM if you are interested.

I run one in KC (august 17th www.kckosherbbq.com ) and its allot of fun, its a great challenge for the cooks but a level playing field.

Cheers!
Mendel

This sounds like an interesting event. I wish we had known about it earlier. I just scheduled a family event for that weekend.

The web site shows trophies for the top 3 in each category and GC. Are there any other prizes?

 

[deguerre]

So the categories are brisket, beef ribs, chicken and beans? Or are beans judged separately from the meats? Sounds like fun! Will you be posting a results thread?

 

[BBQ Rabbi]

thats it as far as awards this year
also a hot dog eating contest and pickle eating too

 

[BBQ Rabbi]

yup, sure, will do.
Our KC comp has 4 proteins trying to be as close to KCBS as possible: Brisket, Beef back ribs, chicken thighs, turkey breast.

Sounds like fun. I look forward to hearing the results! Do the teams get to keep the Weber smokers/grills?

Do the Teams get to keep the grills/Cookers?

From the web site...

Each team will receive two new kettle-style smokers that will only be used for this competition and then put away until next year.

I signed up to judge one of these in Connecticut. Can't wait, should be interesting. Looking forward to talking with the competitors after the judging.

 

[Ron_L]

I think this is different. the web site shows a specific list of judges...

I think the back-to-back at Westmont the weekend before will be enough for us. Maybe we'll wander out as spectators though
