Dallas, Feb. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barbecue At Home by Dickey’s has teamed up with Jealous Devil Charcoal’s army of ambassadors to create a legendary, one-of-a-kind Barbecue at Home grilling competition – just in time for the March bracket frenzy!
Starting March 1, 88 talented pit masters from around the country will come together to compete in Round 1 of this college basketball-inspired competition, creating unique barbecue recipes from the same ingredient. The ingredient will be kept secret until the competition is officially launched.
The second round will be whittled down to 32, based on social engagement, in a head-to-head battle for the Jealous Devil & Barbecue At Home Bracket Battle.
A mystery box will be shipped to these remaining competitors, and the competition will begin! Each subsequent round will require competitors to use the same secret ingredient from the box with winners making it through to 16, and so on until we have our final two challengers.
If you’d like to join the fun and cast your vote on this elite competition, be sure to follow Barbecue At Home (@dickeysathome) and Jealous Devil Charcoal (@jealousdevilcharcoal) on Instagram and/or Facebook.
