The Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) was on campus Saturday (Aug. 20) for the 2023 Raider Red Meats BBQ & Ribeye Championship.

Teams from across the region competed in four KCBS categories – Chicken, Ribs, Pork and Brisket – with Raider Red Meats opening a fifth category for ribeye steaks.

Teams got started late Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday morning preparing their meats for the competition.

Among those involved were groups with strong Texas Tech ties, including Texas Tech’s Executive Chef Dewey McMurrey and the Meat School, a program put together by Animal and Food Science assistant professor Marcos Sanchez-Plata as part of the International Center for Food Industry Excellence.
