Dear Fellow Barbecue Enthusiasts,
It is with great pride and exuberance that we announce the formation and mission of the St. Louis Barbecue Society. This organizations been formed to promote the lifestyle, businesses and interest of those in the St. Louis area who enjoy great Barbecue. This group of diverse individuals will consist of caterers, restaurateur, competitive cooking teams, backyard chefs, and anyone who is interested in learning more about a great St. Louis and American tradition.
Several years ago, St. Louis Home Fires held its first Annual BBQ Cooking Contest. It consisted of 9 teams and a total attendance of around 250 people. This past September we held the same contest consisting of 80 teams & total attendance surpassing 10, 000. We're anticipating an even bigger turnout in 2008.
Following the event several participants and I realized the great interest and enthusiasm there was in St. Louis for great and creative barbecue cooking. It is with the notion that we have formed this group. It is with that ideal that we would like you to join and participate. Membership will include monthly meetings, restaurant visits, newsletters, membership discounts at SLBS events and discounts at participating restaurants.
All are welcome to join and become part of something truly special and new to St. Louis Barbecue. Please feel free to talk to one of our members or fill out an interest card if you are interested.
Your BBQ Brother,
Frank Schmer, President
St. Louis BBQ Society
