contest_barbecue-bible_tshirt-prize

We also have an exciting giveaway linked with an awesome contest! I am sure that most of you have heard of Steven Raichlen , writer of “The Barbecue! Bible“. He has since become America’s most revered and trusted grilling guru, working each year to inspire and innovate, pushing culinary boundaries and documenting his adventures in his best-selling books, at his Barbecue University, and on his PBS show, Primal Grill. This year, however, Steven is turning the tables—challenging America to show him something he has never seen before on the barbecue trail. Steven Raichlen’s Ultimate Grilling Recipe Contest is looking to you, fellow foodies, to come up with the next big grilling idea. And Steven, along with the Workman Publishing family, can’t wait to see what barbecue buffs around the country come up with. Starting April 27, you can visit www.barbecuebible.com to read the contest details and submit your recipes, photos, and/or videos. For terms and conditions, please read them here.

On Labor Day weekend, Steven will deem one lucky winner “America’s Next Ultimate Griller” and present him or her with the grand prize: an all-expense-paid trip to Barbecue University at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

To entice all you foodies to submit a recipe, the folks at Workman Publishing are giving away
10 T-shirts to Foodie Blogroll members! So fire up your grill, tie on that apron, and get to work!
This t-shirt giveaway is available to those residing in the USA since “America’s Next Ultimate Griller” is a US based contest.
