Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off
Labor day is fast approaching, and that means barbecue time for both amateurs and professionals alike. The 17th annual Best in the West Nugget Rib Cook-off will be help Labor Day weekend in Sparks, NV. $16,500 in cash prizes and some of the world’s best ribs will make their appearance at this seminal event.
Last year’s champions, Checkered Pig BBQ from Martinsville, VA. will no doubt be back to defend their title against 24 other teams from across the country.
It’s not just an event for the competitors though. Guests make the rounds sampling their favorites at $18 a rack, $10 a half rack, or $5 for a few bones. Last year, 300,000 visitors consumed 148,000 pounds of St. Louis style pork ribs. No mention of how much beer was consumed.

The All-Star BBQ Showdown
OLN, the Outdoor Life Network, is set to premier their new series, The All-Star BBQ Showdown on a satellite or cable channel near you on 7/23/05.
The best, most outrageous BBQ chefs in America face off against each other in the ultimate showdown to crown the best BBQ chef in the US.
Also competing will be local amateurs who think they have what it takes to win the crown. Local competitions take place around the country at real events, with thousands of people in attendance, leading to the grand finale in New York City.
Each episode includes a cook-off involving two of eight BBQ masters. I guess these are the Iron Chefs of the BBQ world. The All-Star BBQ Showdown culminates in an hourlong finale Sept. 10, in which one competitor will emerge as the best barbecue chef in America.
To turn up the heat, each week the contenders are unaware of what type of meats they will cook (hmm secret ingreditents?) or which equipment and tools they will use. It should prove interesting. Set your TIVOs kids.
