Forged on the contest trail

Competition BBQ is blind-judged on appearance, tenderness, and taste. There’s no benefit of the doubt and nowhere to hide — which is exactly why we love it.

Every technique we use on the contest trail — the trims, the wood, the wraps, the rest — goes straight into the food we serve at your event. When you book The Burnt Crow, you’re booking the same cooks, the same smokers, and the same standards.

Watch for us at contests and festivals around Missouri, come say hi, and taste what the judges taste. Our upcoming schedule lives on the events page.
