Cook-off for the CCC

I grew up in the St. Louis area and I can tell you that pork steaks are a Midwestern delicacy.  When I saw that the Optimist Club of North County - St. Louis, Missouri was the sponsor of the Third Annual BBQ Kick-off Classic, I wasn't surprised.

Coordinated by the Kansas City Barbeque Society, the BBQ Kick-off provided good eats to the visitors and $4,000 in prize money to the chefs in four categories:  pork steak, chicken, ribs and brisket.

What was in it for the Optimist Club?  Proceeds from the event were designated to the Childhood Cancer Campaign.
