Safeway Barbecue Battle
By Mark Taylor

Early summer is usually a quiet time in our Nation’s Capital, but this summer the smoke will be rising along with the fun.  On June 21 and 22, the country’s only dual-sanctioned barbecue cooking contest will take place along Pennsylvania Avenue featuring both Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) and Memphis in May (MIM) contests.  In this historic setting, only a stone’s throw from the Mason-Dixon Line, the nation’s best barbecue teams will compete for over $40,000 in cash and prizes and the chance to become the National Barbecue Champion.

On Saturday, June 21, teams will cook using KCBS rules with categories
including beef brisket, chicken and pork, and with a special prize going to
the Rancher’s Reserve Beef Champion.  Saturday’s winner will also receive
entry into the American Royal BBQ Contest in Kansas City, Missouri.  On
Sunday, June 22, the pork-centric MIM contest will determine the National
Pork Champion and feature pork shoulder, rib and whole hog categories.  The
winner of this contest will be guaranteed entry to the 2009 Memphis in May
World Barbecue Championship and proclaimed the National Pork Champion by the National Pork Board.  There will also be a Nation's Best Sauce contest. Teams from some 29 states have competed in past years.
