Prophet Hills Country Club in Prophetstown will host an inaugural BBQ Cook-Off on Saturday, September 23, and competitors must be registered by September 17. The contest is free to enter, with contestants to be judged on presentation, taste, and texture.
Competitors must bring their own meat to smoke and cook, with three open categories: brisket, whole chicken, and ribs. The meat must be cooked on-site and boxes must be turned in by 2:30 p.m. The winner of each category will win $150, and the grand champion (participating in all three categories) will win $300.
