It’s almost time to pig out at the American Royal World Series of Barbecue. Returning next Friday, Nov. 1-Sunday, Nov. 3 to the Kansas Speedway, this two-day competition promises to be just as tasty as previous years. There’s a lot to dip into, but here are our recommendations.
Enter (or watch) the rib eating contest happening Saturday, Nov. 2 at 5 p.m. Even if you lose, you get to eat lots of finger-licking good food.
Afterwards, rest up and enjoy the BBQ Sauce Wrestling match at 6 p.m. What happens there? Well, exactly what it sounds like — participants wrestle for the top title in a vat of barbecue sauce.
Tickets to the ‘cue competition are $22+ and come with the opportunity to taste fixin’s from all the vendors. Want a closer look? Get the Royal Tour ticket for $35 for an up-close convo with a pitmaster.
