KCBS Great American BBQ Tour
If you’re craving some of the world’s tastiest barbecue, then you’ve come to the right place! The KCBS Great American BBQ Tour is on the road again and spreading the word about “America’s Cuisine.” It doesn’t matter which style you prefer – Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Texas, West Coast or Carolina – as long as it’s barbecue, that’s all that matters!
With the 40-foot custom tour trailer racking up the miles, the Tour Team will visit 23 of the best food festivals in the nation, including stops that range from the Wisconsin State Fair to EGGtoberfest in Atlanta, Georgia. And of course, at every stop, they’ll be serving tasty samples of barbecue!
The Tour Team will show millions of festival-goers why competitive barbecuing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Check out the schedule below to see if there is a stop near you.
