One day, NEBS (New England BBQ Society) sanctioned grilling contest - March 25, 2005, Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn to benefit the St. Mark Sport's Association. The event is being sponsored by Paul Kirk's RUB restaurant.
St. Mark Sports Program is a non-sectarian/non-demoninational/non-profit community based organization that provides boys and girls ages 5 to 16 with the opportunity to play organized basketball, be cheer leaders or to compete on swim teams. We also host a Special Olympics basketball team.
This is the first BBQ contest held in NYC history! Results of this contest will be included in calculations for the NEBS team of the year.
Entrance fee is $100. For that you get to cook in all categories. If you want to only compete in one individual category its $75. $25 to compete in the dessert only category. You must cook in every category except dessert to qualify for grand and reserve champion.
Of the entrance fee, 50% will go to the sports program and 50% will go to the prize pool. We have just secured a major sponsor who is adding a nice chunk of change to the prize pool.
