Who are the table captains? And what do they do? Who officiates the contests? Overcooked? Under cooked? Too Salty? Too flat tasting? Mushy? Tough? and many more.

The Associations

National, International and Local Barbecue and Chili Associations

The National Barbecue Association was founded in January 1991. In 1992, the NBBQA filed and was approved as a non-profit trade association and was incorporated in the State of North Carolina in 1993. At various times in its history, the NBBQA has had its headquarters in North Carolina, Kansas City, and in 2001 following the 9/11 event, relocated its offices to Austin, Texas.
