Welcome to 
We are once more seeking volunteer helpers, sponsors... and cooks who want to put their grilling skills to the test in the Second Annual Glen Ellyn Backyard BBQ Competition.Categories are Ribs and Best Dish. Best dish can be anything at all from grilled bacon wrapped stuffed hot dogs... to grilled pineapple cakes... to soft tacos with red snapper and tomatillo-avocado salsa. Best dish is all about your best dish on the grill. (We'll be adding recipes to these pages on a regular basis to give you ideas and keep your taste buds interested.)
This tasty experience is for all teams, regardless of experience.
As was the case in 2009, this community event is a great launch pad for “local” and “new teams” to cook in a fantastic learning environment for honing experience and skills.
It’s also a great place for “seasoned” teams to try out new recipes and techniques.
The event is held as an enhanced Block Party on Willis Street at Taylor Avenue in Glen Ellyn, a short block north of the Taylor Avenue underpass. [MAP]
Entries will be judged by a group of local notables; entries in each category must be able to accommodate three judges. Prizes will be determined by the number of competitors; there is a small entry fee.
Teams should bring uncooked and unseasoned pork ribs (spares or baby backs), and/or uncooked and unseasoned ingredients for Best Dish. Also, teams should bring food and beverages for themselves. All dishes must be cooked on site. Contestants must provide their own equipment; charcoal and gas grills/smokers are welcome, electric grills/smokers and open pits are not.A 9x9 Styrofoam “Clamshell” will be provided for each dish. Garnish for Ribs is optional, but if used is limited Green Leaf Lettuce and or Green Parsley only.
Teams may arrive as early as 8:00 AM and begin cooking at 9:00 AM. Judging for best dish will be at 2pm and judging for best pork ribs will be at 4pm.
Turn-in-Times: (There will be a 5 minute window on either side of turn in times)
Local sponsors are offering generous discounts to competitors!
