Ribs or BBQ Chicken: Choose your meat! Philly HBC will provide each team with approximately either 10 racks of pork ribs and/or 40 lbs of chicken for cooking (final amount to be determined as we get closer to the event).

Teams should plan to arrive at the Crane Arts Parking lot at 6 a.m. to start their fires, set up grills, and get ready for the cooking (no digging pits, please). All entries must be cooked on location over a fire of wood or charcoal—smoker type barbecues are also allowed.
