Ever wondered what it took to be a formal BBQ judge just like those seen on TV? Now is your chance to join those ranks.

As part of the four hour class you will learn how to judge competition BBQ by scoring
on taste, tenderness, and appearance. You will also learn allowed and disallowed
display techniques, and actually score (and eat!) competition entries in all four KCBS categories: Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork, and Beef Brisket. You will get a chance to discuss scores, as well as give and receive feedback with your peers. If you are either a new competitor, foodie, BBQ enthusiast, or just want bragging rights with your friends, then enroll in the class and you’ll get some real
insights into what constitutes a winning entry in the judges’ eyes. 

The class is offered to Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) members ONLY, so it is STRONGLY recommended that if you are not already a KCBS member, that you join the Kansas City BBQ Society prior to the day of the class ($40 annual membership  –  NOT included in the cost of the class), use this link to join KCBS. If you are not a member before the day of the class, we will need to collect your membership dues onsite and unfortunately this will significantly delay getting your personalized materials processed and sent to you.

Space is limited!

Thank you for your support of our event. We do hope to see you in October!
