Antigua St John's - The Caribbean BBQ Association will be hosting a a Smokin Hot BBQ Challenge on June 3 at the Antigua & Barbuda Hospitality Training Institute.

The competition is an expanded version of what began in Puerto Rico about four years ago, with circuits in The Bahamas, St Croix/St Thomas, Miami, and Jamaica.
 
President of the Caribbean BBQ Association Michael A Compton said this is an effort to strengthen the culinary programme throughout the islands, teach the art of authentic BBQ and grilling to all the regions in the Caribbean, and enable winning teams to compete in the most prestigious BBQ competition in the United States.
 

The activity, which has already received various media and corporate sponsors spanning the United States, Caribbean, and Antigua & Barbuda, will seek to “create a well-recognised successful family event for the region, impact multiple islands and the tourism industry, increase awareness for local restaurants and hotels and start the spark of bigger and better BBQ events within the region of the Caribbean,” Compton said.
 
As for teams interesting in participating in the one-day event, Compton noted, registration will be simple and attractive for restaurants, hotels, chefs, culinary schools, companies, and backyard enthusiast.

Teams will be supplied with the meats and goody bags from sponsors, while competing for cash, prizes, and medals.
