Yes or no? 😱
California’s Largest Annual Amateur Tailgate & BBQ Contest is the perfect way to learn how to take your backyard BBQ skills and test them out in a contest that helps raise money for local youth.
Some of the top amateur BBQ teams from the Spring Valley Tailgate and BBQ Festival have gone on to compete at the highest level of Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) Championship events and have even opened BBQ businesses of their own.
The event also benefits an important cause, San Diego Mentors, a nonprofit organization that provides mentorship for at-risk youth in San Diego.
To learn more about the event and people involved, check out the Behind the Smoke podcast episodes with Fern’s Semi Famous BBQ, Pork Belly’s BBQ, Yard Pirates BBQ, and WGW Grills to learn more about #SVBBQFest.
Amateur BBQ Teams will be competing in five categories: Tri-Tip, Pork Ribs, Chicken, Carne Asada and Best Decorated Tailgate Team.
