I never knew this...but it seems that all who bbq will be interested to know that there is bbq world championship...to think one day it might be an olympic sport..I can see portugal taking gold..
this is from the cambridge evening news
SUNNY days in front of the barbecue seem a long way away now as the cold weather kicks in.
But for champion chef Brian Eastment, of Spiggots Close, Longstanton, things have been hotting up.
He's just got back from the 17th Jack Daniel's World Invitational Barbecue Championships.
Held in Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA - the home of the beef burger - the championship sees 67 of the world's most competitive cooking teams meet over a hot grill.
And some 25,000 hungry Americans wolf down the world-class fare. More than 250 officials then judge the finished cuts on flavour, appearance and texture.
Brian's four-man Major Players team came fourth in the Brisket of Beef category.
The development chef said: "We had a new team this year, but some of the Americans are much better equipped than us. They have their own barbecues they carry from competition to competition."
The Major Players take it seriously - they won a grilling category last year - and do not arrive without practising.
Brian, 61 said: "My wife Grace has chicken every night before a competition. She doesn't have to do any of the cooking in my house."
Contestants from Canada, Australia, USA, Switzerland and Croatia took part and Brian thinks we have a lot to learn in the UK.
He said: "It's sad in a way. We love to grill over here but slow smoking gives the best results."
