Bay Area BBQ Championship & A Food Gal Give-Away
Get ready to have a smoky, meaty good time when the 2nd annual Bay Area BBQ Championship rolls into the Oakland Coliseum on July 7.
Professionals, amateurs and community groups will be competing to determine who has the best barbecued chicken, ribs, brisket and pork, plus the tastiest side dishes and desserts.
What’s more, in-between sampling all that food, you can take in the A’s vs. Mariners game.
All proceeds benefit Alternative Family Services, a local organization that provides services for foster children.
