Competition BBQ events in Europe 2022
There are more Competition BBQ events in Europe than ever before!
Easy to get started, but highly addictive, these typically two-day-long events let cooks and chefs alike compete and showcase what they can achieve with humble fire cooking. From meat-specific events through associations such as Steak Challenge (SCA), to general events such as the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS), there’s a little something for everyone.
