A Full Plate is hosting their 3rd Annual Rib Cook Off this Saturday. There are both professional and amateur divisions competing.

Among the pros are El Camino Real, Bar Ferdinand, North Bowl, Darling’s Diner, Q BBQ & Tequila, Sonata and the yet to open Koo Zee Doo.

The amateur teams promise pro quality and their names are fun too; Mediocre BBQ, Ribbed for Her Pleasure and Pork Barrel Politics are among the highlights.

For $20 you get to sample the ribs from both the pro and amateur division plus the brisket and vegetarian options from the pro teams. There will also be a all-vegetarian buffet to counteract some of that meat. You also get a Stoudt’s beer and ROOT cocktail with your admission. For an additional $10 that cup turns bottomless.

The action goes down at 1pm at 2nd and Hancock, behind the Piazza at Schmidt’s.

Look for us, we’ll be judging.
