Memphis in May
The world comes to Memphis May 13 – 15
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naturally, Char-Broil is gonna be there!
The 2010 Char-Broil® INFRARED Grilling Tour rolls into Memphis, TN to celebrate Memphis in May’s World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest on May 13-15.
The entire Memphis in May event week is dedicated to outdoor cooking competition. So we thought we’d have one of our own – for fun – and feature some local celebrities. Here’s what we came up with – and I suspect it will be quite a show.
Big Personalities. Sizzling Competition.
Beginning at 1:30 p.m. CST on Thursday, May 13th, Char-Broil will host the first official Infrared Cooking Contest. I’ll be there (all week long) and I’m bringing 3 guest chefs to join in the fun, make some friends and spread the word about Char-Broil infrared grills.

The 2010 Char-Broil® INFRARED Grilling Tour rolls into Memphis, TN to celebrate Memphis in May’s World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest on May 13-15.
Hundreds of teams are ready to compete nose-to-tail at Tom Lee Park in downtown Memphis for more than $100,000 in prizes and supreme bragging rights. Teams adorn their areas with elaborate decoration, trophies attesting to their boasting rights and, as one can imagine, clever and creative team names.
Grilling is the main theme and this year Char-Broil is the official grill sponsor. The entire Infrared Grilling team will be there with the Char-Broil trailer and dozens of infrared grills, as well as grilling samples of Bubba Burgers, Johnsonville Sausages and fresh Dole fruit like pineabble and bananas – hey, you ever tasted a grilled banana? be sure to stop by and do that as well as test your skills to win prizes.
