American Royal Association Announces 2016 BBQ Hall of Fame Inductees

May 20, 2016

The American Royal Association has announced the 2016 class of inductees to the Barbecue Hall of Fame: Ardie Davis, Chris Lilly and David B. Knight.

The formal induction ceremony will take place on the main stage of the American Royal World Series of Barbecue® event at the Kansas Speedway, October 26 - 30. 

Each year, three individuals are awarded the prestigious honor and are recognized by the Barbecue Hall of Fame for their significant contributions to the barbecue community and demonstration of achievement in barbecue excellence in one of three categories: Pitmaster, Business/Industry, and Celebrity/Humanitarian.

ARDIE DAVIS - Celebrity/Humanitarian Category

Ardie Davis

Ardie, aka Remus Powers, Ph.B., is founder of the American Royal Barbecue Sauce Contest which is in its 29th year and the largest sauce contest in the world. He is a charter member of the KCBS, instrumental in the development of the Certified Barbecue Judge curriculum, and author of the oath that each judge still recites before judging a contest. All in the name of BBQ, Ardie is the author of numerous books, writes freelance for the Kansas City Star & the BullSheet, and has been interviewed twice by the History Channel due to his knowledge of barbecue. Ardie’s involvement in the BBQ community has earned him 9 separate nominations for this year’s Barbecue Hall of Fame, more than twice as many as any other candidate. 
 


DAVID KNIGHT - Business/Industry Category

David Knight

David Knight is the President and founder of Ole Hickory Pits, a leading manufacturer of commercial barbecue smoker ovens, sold worldwide. With experience earned from his early days in the family restaurant and knowledge gained from pit design, David uses his skills to help restaurateurs and competitors stay on the cutting edge of the industry. Knight is also active in the competitive circuit, both as a judge and with his support of teams. His unique blend of barbecue and business experience provides perspective of the industry, which he shares in trade journal articles and industry seminars. 

 

CHRIS LILLY - Pitmaster Category

Chris Lilly

Chris Lilly’s influence spans many facets of BBQ including competition, restaurants, cookbooks, television, product spokesman and retail products. Lilly is a three time Memphis in May: Grand Champion, Grand Champion of the American Royal Invitational, Reserve Grand Champion of the Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue and winner of the inaugural King of the Smoker Invitational. In addition, there has been no Pitmaster with more success in the pork category at Memphis in May, bringing home seven wins.
