Reser's Fine Foods organises Potato Salad Competition

BBQ enthusiasts across the United Sattes are firing up their grills and sharpening their knives as the 2011 competitive season officially begins. This year, more prize money, and bragging rights, are at stake as Reser’s and the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) launch the “Reser’s American Classics Summer Series.”

The new potato salad contest will take place as an additional category at eight certified events. The competition will kick off at the Stagecoach Music Festival BBQ Championships in California and culminate at the American Royal BBQ in Missouri.

Competitive barbeque teams will vie for $1,100 in prize money at each event and entries will be judged using KCBS standards and certified barbeque judges.

“BBQs and potato salad go hand-in-hand. And, we know the best potato salad recipes are often handed down from generation to generation,” said Barbara Jordan, head chef at Reser’s. “We can’t wait to sample some of those special family recipes from across the country.”
