FOE Barbeque Cook Off

Their BBQ Sauce Is a Hit at Central Market. Why Is There No Line at Their Food Trailer? The Finches have been selling their bottled barbecue sauces and rubs for years, but they are still hoping their new Finch Craft BBQ trailer will catch on.

AY TE VA BBQ, Robert and Benita Garcia, are no strangers to the FOE. As both BBQ Cookoff competitors and regular market vendors, they are for sure friends of the FOE. We are, of course, thrilled that they are back for the 14th annual FOE BBQ Cookoff. And they are coming off the high of welcoming a new grandbaby to the family, so they've got some extra mojo happening. (P.S. Benita's spanish rice is magical!).

Meet Mark O'Malley. He is the man behind Big D'licious BBQ. He brings his talents back to the FOE BBQ Cookoff for the third consecutive year. In his first appearance he came out the gate strong with 2nd in Ribs and a respectable 4th in Brisket. Although, he did not place in 2023, I hate no doubt he will bring that Big D'liciousness once again this go around!

We want to extend a BIG welcome to Craig Odell of Buddy's BBQ. Although this his first time participating in our little charity event, this is most certainly NOT his first rodeo. Buddy's BBQ has seen plenty competition. We look forward to hanging with you next weekend!

Ladies & Gents of FOE BBQ Land, please welcome back Tim Aday and Deadwood BBQ. This will be Deadwood's 6th appearance at the FOE BBQ Cookoff and coming off a 1st place in Chicken last year. Tim is always super supportive of our fundraising efforts and just a good dude to hang out with. Good Luck, friend!

After a brief hiatus in 2024, Grill-a-Warfare is back to stake their claim as FOE BBQ icons. Let's not forget in 2023, they took 1st in Chicken, 2nd in Brisket, and overall Grand Champion. And if my memory serves me correctly, this is Grill-a-Warfare's 5th time returning to compete. Let's see if they can bring that kind of heat again this year!
