Jim Monihan Mac ‘n Cheese Challenge:
On Sunday, teams will have a chance to compete in the Jim Monihan Mac ‘n Cheese challenge in honor of our good friend and BBQ aficionado, Jim Monihan, of Privateer Productions. The contest is free to enter and will be turned in, in a KCBS format for “anything goes.” Judging will take place on Sunday at 1:00 PM (Times subject to change)

Teams
Jim Monihan loved Mac ‘n Cheese almost as much he loved the BBQ community.
