REGISTER TO COOK

Project Host BBQ Cook-off and Festival invites you to participate in this fun event for a great cause while competing against other professional cookers for top prizes and awards. The Anything Butt Contest held Friday night invites you to make your best sweet or savory dish and have it judged by a select Greenville group. Saturday’s competition focuses on pork butts and is held in conjunction with the South Carolina BBQ Association. Cash prizes and bragging rights will be handed out at an awards ceremony Saturday afternoon.
**2024 Cooker Registration is FULL! Check back next year.**

VIP Sponsor

Sponsors are essential to making the BBQ Festival a successful fundraiser for Project Host, so that the organization can keep providing free meals and training to those in need. To thank our sponsors, we offer VIP treatment on Friday night of the festival, inviting them to join us in an exclusive tent, where they are wined and dined by Project Host chefs.
