New Orleans is one of the cuisine capitals of the world, but IMHO, dine-in and take-out BBQ is not our cup of tea. A poster advertising a "BBQ Smackdown" sponsored by our local Children's Hospital captured my mind's eye. Looking a bit closer I noted that the Kansas City Barbecue Society is "Sanctioning" the event which makes me think that this might be an opportunity to either engage in a bar fight or sample pro prepared BBQ from the four points of the compass.

Brown sugar sweet might be high on my list of tastes but I need expert guidance on what to seek out here. You'se guys made me an overnight bleach freak, so now pls edu me about a BBQ Smackdown event.
I also understand that even a novice like me can become an Official KCBS Certified Judge with just one day of training. OMG, free access to that kind of food sounds delightfully dangerous. :lol:
p.s. They oops'd the dates on the poster by a month so I've still got four weeks to get psyched up for this deal.
