What’s Your Favorite Jack Daniels Competition?
What’s your favorite Jack Daniels competition? Mine, and many other people’s favorite, is the annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue. There are seven categories in which to compete: Pork Ribs, Pork Shoulder/Butts, Beef Brisket, Chicken, Dessert, Cook’s Choice and Jack Daniel’s Sauce. Yum, people from around the world competing to see who can make the world’s most delicious BBQ using Jack Daniels whisky.
The final Jack Daniels competition is held in Lynchburg, Tennessee, in the United States. Lynchburg is a community tucked away in the rolling hills of the Southern United States, a sleepy community that receive nearly all its annual visitors because it is the home of Jack Daniels whisky.
Oddly enough, this huge Jack Daniels competition is held in a county that does not allow drinking. In the US, it’s called a “dry county”. The county forbids the sale of alcoholic beverages, as do many places in the Southern United States, mainly due to religious considerations of residents.
Any Jack Daniels competition is a huge deal, and well worth attending in person if possible. Naturally the BBQ competition draws the most attention because everyone loves BBQ foods and Jack Daniels makes a great BBQ sauce. Everyone present at the competition has some “secret” ingredient they use to make their BBQ sauce special and it’s fun to sample foods and try to guess what their secret ingredient is. .
