The Pink Ladies, one of the only all-female teams, compete in the rib category each year.

Let's say you're smooth with your shoulders, rock on your ribs, or hold your own cooking a whole hog. Being a winner at the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest takes an extensive knowledge of grilling and smoking meats. But a little creativity, whether with sauces or even your team's name, goes a long way. When judges and visitors make their way down barbecue mile, you want them to smile, right?
