The mouthwatering smell of pork barbecue fills the air during the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. The cook-off event began in 1978 in a downtown parking lot with only 26 competitors. This month the contest runs from May 16 through 18 with more than 250 teams from around the world.
Teams compete for over $110,000 in prizes and the right to be crowned the Memphis in May barbecue champion. Guinness has declared the event the "Largest Pork BBQ in the World" with 82 tons of pork cooked over three days.
Festival-goers get to participate, too, with free guided tours of the teams' areas. Team cooks share barbecuing techniques, secret recipes and lots of fun tips. Visitors can also view individual team booths that are decorated in unique and creative ways. Another fun event is the "Ms. Piggie Idol," where people dress up like pigs and compete in a singing contest.
Best of all, though, is the opportunity for festival-goers to buy and experience the legendary barbecue Memphis is famous for!
