Boss Hog Cook-Off

The Boss Hog Cook-Off brings together competition cook teams and some of the best ribs, barbeque, brisket and chicken.

Join us in picturesque Waynesboro, Georgia for the annual Boss Hog State Championship Cook-off. Sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, our event will bring together competition cook teams and some of the best ribs, barbeque, brisket and chicken in the southeast. Waynesboro may be the Bird Dog Capital of the World, but everybody's barking about the Boss Hog. Activities at this year's Cook
