Tomorrow: A Full Plate Rib Cook-Off and Vegetarian Quickfire

This Saturday, Sept. 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., head to Liberty Lands Park (913-961 N. Third St.) for the fifth annual A Full Plate Rib Cook-Off. The event has three categories of competition this year: Ribs, Vegetarian Quickfire (competitors must whip up a veggie dish using items revealed at the beginning of the event) and "Anything Goes" (any grilled dish other than pork ribs). The Ribs bracket will feature both amateur and professional teams; participating in the pro division are neighborhood competitors like Darling's, PYT, Blind Pig and Gunners Run.

The afternoon's judging panel will feature Collin Flatt from The Feast, Ann Karlen from Fair Food, Anna Goldfarb from Shmitten Kitten, Taylor High from Mac & Cheese, the NLNA's Matt Ruben, radio personality Bill Anderson, certified BBQ judge Brian Gralnick and yours truly.

The event costs $20 and features all-you-can-eat ribs, as well as a buffet of vegetarian-friendly food from A Full Plate and sweets from Flying Monkey. Toss up a little extra for a bottomless Philadelphia Brewing Co. cup. A portion of the events proceeds will be donated to Teens 4 Good, a local org that works with youth to convert vacant lots into urban gardens/farms.
