Hey there, whether you’re a greenhorn team ready to take on your first competition or a seasoned squad looking to support local contests, we’ve got your back. If you’re new to this whole shebang, we suggest starting with a smaller event that won’t break the bank and does some good for the community. It’s a great way to get your feet wet and learn the ropes while “meating” some pretty cool people. These contests usually have similar rules when it comes to food prep, cooking techniques, and judging criteria, so you’ll have a handle on things in no time. Although we’re all about the small fry contests, we’ve got the goods on sanctioned events like KCBS and SCA too. So let’s fire up those grills and get this party started!
