From
near
and
far,
barbecue
aficionados
will
visit
Lynchburg,
Tennessee,
on
October
24,
2009
for
the
21st
Annual
Jack
Daniel’s
World
Championship
Invitational
Barbecue.
Considered
one
of
the
most
prestigious
barbecue
competitions
in
the
world,
the
Jack
Daniel’s
Invitational
will
host
more
than
60
award-winning
barbecue
teams
from
the
United
States
and
several
other
countries.
They’ll
be
competing
in
the
categories
of
Pork
Ribs,
Pork
Shoulder,
Beef
Brisket
and
Chicken,
as
well
as
"Jack
Daniel’s
Sauce"
(must
contain
a
little
of
our
hometown
product)
and
Desserts.
International
teams
enjoy
being
especially
creative
by
entering
their
"Home
Cookin’
from
the
Homeland,"
while
our
U.S.
championship
teams
do
the
same
with
their
"Cook’s
Choice."
To
qualify
for
"The
Jack,"
U.S.
teams
must
have
already
won
a
competition
in
which
50
or
more
teams
participated,
or
they
must
have
won
a
competition
of
at
least
25
teams
that
has
been
designated
a
"state
championship".
However,
not
only
must
these
teams
be
culinary
experts,
they
must
also
be
lucky.
With
more
than
100
teams
qualifying
each
year
—
and
because
of
our
limited
space
in
Lynchburg
—
we
must
also
limit
the
number
of
the
teams.
So
in
early
September
the
names
of
the
qualifying
teams
go
into
state
lotteries
to
select
the
final
competitors.
The
2008
"Grand
Champion,"
4
Legs
Up
from
Great
Bend,
Kansas,
will
return
to
defend
their
title.
Also
appearing
at
this
year’s
Barbecue
are
the
winners
of
the
Houston
Livestock
&
Rodeo
Barbecue,
the
Memphis
in
May
Championship,
and
the
open
division
of
the
American
Royal
Barbeque
in
Kansas
City.
Additional
teams
from
Austria,
Belgium,
Australia,
Canada,
Germany,
Switzerland,
Poland,
Puerto
Rico,
and
the
United
Kingdom
are
already
finalizing
their
recipes
for
the
big
event.
And
we
even
have
a
special
"Shade
Tree"
contest
for
36
amateur
teams.
Vendors
will
be
on
hand
to
sell
roasted
corn,
homemade
fried
fruit
pies,
funnel
cakes,
ice
cream,
and
many
other
mouth-watering
delicacies.
Spectators
are
encouraged
to
compete
in
the
Country
Dog
Contest
(canines
only!),
Bung
Pitching
and
Butt
Bowling,
while
folks
from
Brown-Forman
Cooperage
in
Louisville,
Kentucky,
will
be
on
hand
to
demonstrate
how
they
"raise"
the
barrels
that
are
used
to
mature
Jack
Daniel’s
Tennessee
Whiskey!
The
fun
begins
at
9:00
a.m.,
