From September 12-15, nearly 500 teams assembled at the Kansas Speedway for the 40th Anniversary American Royal World Series of barbecue, the world’s largest BBQ contest.
The competition was fierce in all four of the primary categories — pork shoulder/butt, pork ribs, chicken, and brisket — but in the end it was Rio Valley Meat BBQ that walked away with the top prize in the American Royal World Series of Barbecue Open competition on Sunday, September 15!
