Walking in Memphis - Inside the ASBEE World Kosher BBQ Championship

Since a traditional Memphis barbecue usually consists of smoked pork, it is understandable that the city’s 8,000 Jews might try to find a way to bring their five-thousand-year-old tradition of slow cooked meat to the land of the Delta blues.

Twenty-one years ago, Anshei Sphard-Beth El Emeth (ASBEE), an orthodox synagogue that can trace its roots to the Civil War, decided to offer a kosher alternative to the traditional Memphis barbecue contest.   It is not without precedent; after all, Passover was the very first barbecue festival.

ASBEE hosts the World Kosher BBQ Championship, which is one of the most anticipated events in the Memphis Jewish community.  Last year, the ASBEE Championship had 40 teams and more than 3000 attendees. This year the World Kosher BBQ Championship takes place on Sunday, August 29th. You won’t find any swine tasting at this event, but the intoxicating smell of slow roasted brisket and beef ribs will make a pig out of any hard core carnivore.
