Join PhoenixBites this weekend at the Inaugural Queen Creek BBQ Cook-Off on Saturday, October 16th. We are so excited to be attending this event, I am already salivating! The Cook-Off is sanctioned by the Kansas City BBQ Society. There will be over 40 teams competing in 4 meat categories: Brisket, Ribs, Pork & Chicken.

Bring the kids for a day of fun. Kids entry fee is also $10, but includes the amazing KidZone which features Bouncer, Ball Pits, Rock Wall, Obstacle Course, Pony Rides, Baloons a& Game Trucks.

Enjoy the day by feasting on the BBQ, listening to live entertainment and enjoying the various food & craft vendors. Feeling adventurous? Try your hand at the Mechanical Bull!
