Slidell BBQ Challenge heats up

Sponsored by the Slidell Noon Lions Club and the Rotary Club of Slidell, the event will highlight the cooking prowess of professional cooks from around the country as well as local cooks, who will be given a chance to display their talents over a grill, according to Johnny Crowe, Challenge Committee member.

Proceeds from the event support Lions Club- and Rotary Club-sponsored charities, including the Lions Club Summer Camp for physically challenged children in Louisiana.

“We are looking forward to another great cook-off,” said Crowe. “We want to encourage cooks locally to show off their talents in our Best Backyard BBQ Team competition.”

The entry fee for the Best Backyard BBQ Team competition is $100, and teams will compete in the areas of ribs, chicken and People’s Choice. It’s a great time for a little friendly competition between friends, neighbors and families, according to Crowe.
