On Saturday, August 3rd at Umoja Fest, amateur grill masters competed in the UNCF BBQ Cook-off for Education to earn the title of “2013 UNCF Cook-off for Education Grill Master” and a brand new BBQ grill. Up to 60 participants competed in four BBQ cook-off heats that consisted of preparing hamburgers. The top two winners from each heat then competed in one final round heat preparing the “secret ingredient”. Each heat had a panel of judges made up of local prominent community leaders, celebrity chefs, and celebrity athletes/coaches.
