Tomorrow: The Ninth Annual Stephen Starr-Garry Maddox Barbecue Challenge
The ninth annual Stephen-Starr-Garry Maddox Barbecue Challenge takes place this Saturday at Citizens Bank Park, and the event is shaping up to be the biggest yet. The contest, which started out as a small get-together outside The Vet, has grown into one of the largest barbecue contests in the area. Contestants battle it out in three categories (ribs, chicken and "chef's choice") in both the pitmaster (amateur) and restaurant (professional) divisions, and are overseen by a judging panel that includes Phillies alums, local chefs and media personalities. Judges appearing this year include former Phillies players Larry Andersen, Larry Christenson, Greg Luzinski, Bob Boone, Gary Matthews and Terry Harmon, as well as Meal Ticket favorite Kevin "Jersey Kev" Sbraga, chef at Starr's Rat's in Hamilton and current contestant on Top Chef D.C. Perhaps the most anticipated division of the event is "Garry's Rib-Off," where Maddox will give away a grand prize of 2010 World Series tickets to the winner. The event is closed to more competitors, but is open to the public from 4 to 7 p.m. Admission is free, and visitors can purchase sampling tickets in the contest area for a charity donation of $15 for three ticket. All proceeds benefit the Youth Golf and Academics Program, an academic enrichment program founded by Maddox to support children who reside in troubled city neighborhoods.
