Gilroy Rock n' Ribs

Compentition BBQ Cook-Off

June 20-21, 2008

This is the second annual event (3rd if you include the Great Gilroy Gobbler Gathering), taking place in downtown Gilroy. This is a full blown competition but there is a twist: Contestants will be cooking only ribs, chicken, and a mystery meat to be announced (and I think) provided by the event coordinators.

You may cook on any equipment you like, including gas burners, pellet poopers, stick burners, or even blow torches - all are welcome, but microwave users will be scorned, moked, and ridiculed. Please see the rules section for complete rule disclosure.

This even is known for great music, lots of fun, and a welcome break from the KCBS style events. Plus the chicks are hot too.
