Famous Dave's is partnering with the World Food Championships (WFC) to find the best pitmaster in the nation.
The event will feature celebrity and local pitmasters facing off in a multi-category barbecue challenge at Famous Dave’s restaurants nationwide.
Winning teams at the restaurant level will then qualify to advance into the Famous Dave’s All-Star BBQ Championship, hosted by WFC which will take place during its 11th annual tournament in Dallas, Texas this fall.
"This is an exciting moment for Famous Dave’s of America," said Dave Anderson, Founder of Famous Dave’s. "BBQ is really America’s food. Competition barbecue has always been an important part of our legacy and our brand."
