Wolf’s Revenge BBQ named grand champion of the 2023 Almost Heaven BBQ Bash
Wolf’s Revenge BBQ out of Henrico, Virginia, won the 2023 Almost Heaven BBQ Bash over the weekend, narrowly beating Chunky BBQ from Pennsylvania.
“Everyone knows the story of the Three Little Pigs, but like all good classics, a little imagination can bring a whole new perspective, so we thought: what if the brick house was turned into a smokehouse, and that’s how the wolf got his revenge! And so, Wolf’s Revenge BBQ was born,” reads the team’s bio on the Kansas City Barbecue Society website.
“As a KCBS competition team, Wolf’s Revenge BBQ currently holds one of the highest KCBS contest scores for any single contest east of Tennessee,” according to the bio. “Beyond the accolades of cooking award-winning BBQ, however, we also love competitions for the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.”
Art Cars: A Creative Extravaganza
Art Cars add a vibrant and imaginative twist to the Almost Heaven BBQ Bash, drawing attendees with their unique designs and artistic flair. These mobile masterpieces are vehicles that have been transformed into rolling works of art, each reflecting the creativity and vision of their creators. Originating from the vibrant art car culture in Houston, Texas, these cars have journeyed from various parts of the country, including Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina, and Mississippi, to make a special appearance at the festival.
Visitors to the BBQ Bash will have the chance to admire a diverse array of art cars, each with its own story and theme. From whimsical, colourful paint jobs to elaborate sculptures and interactive features, these cars never fail to impress and inspire. The presence of art cars not only enhances the visual appeal of the event but also celebrates the spirit of creativity and innovation.
