Brew-B-Q
Now in its seventh year,
Brew-B-Q continues to set high marks for raising funds for local charities and providing an outstanding format for local pitmasters to compete against each other in two meat categories: pork BBQ and pork ribs. The local charities benefiting from the contest this year were
The Salvation Army of Wake County and
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Subcontractors And Business Partners Compete
Sponsored by the general contracting company
Brasfield & Gorrie, the competition pits teams organized by its subcontractors and business partners against each other. In addition to bragging rights, the prizes for winners are huge trophies and gas BBQ grills for the winners in each division:
Boss Hog, Hog, and
Piglet. Registration fees for these divisions, respectively, were $5,000, $4,000, and $2,000. The big prize for the Boss Hog winner was a 60-by-36-inch grill.

| Huge trophies are ready for the winners. |
I was a judge in the Piglet division, which had the most cooking teams registered. This event was the third time that I was able to participate; the contests in
2022 and
2024 were also great events.
 |
| The top team in each division also took home a highly coveted grill. |
Funds For Charities
Brasfield & Gorrie has created an amazing community event that strengthens its business relationships as it raises funds for charities. The judges appreciate the superb organization of the event and the hospitality of the organizers. The atmosphere was lively, and the cooking teams were having as much fun as the judges.
