Five Days of Barbecue

In honor of the first annual Atlanta BBQ Festival, I will be visiting five local barbecue spots to sample the goods (and of course, blogging about it).  Truth: it's really just an excuse to eat more barbecue. All of the restaurants I'll be visiting offer 10% discounts to Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club members.  Speaking of which, check out the Atlanta Bar-B-Q Club's website at http://www.atlbbqclub.com/ for more details on how to join.  An annual membership is only $25.

The festival promises lots of good barbecue, good music and family fun.  No BBQ festival would be complete without a cook-off, and the winner of the Professional competition will get to sell their delicious barbecue at an Atlanta Braves game next season plus $1500.  There will also be an amateur cook-off with a top prize of $750 up for grabs.

The Atlanta BBQ Festival will be held this Saturday, September 12th between 10 AM-6 PM in the Green Lot at Turner Field.  Admission to the festival area is free!  For more information, visit the official site at http://www.atlantabbqfestival.com
