2010 Conference a Smoking Success!

Barbecuers from across North America gathered in Memphis February 2-6 to celebrate The Spirit of BBQ in the Land of the Blues.

Bus tours, educational sessions an industry trade show and a seemingly endless amount of fun and comaraderie were all a part of this, the 19th annual, NBBQA Conference.

  Attendees included a virtual who's who of the barbecue world. See what Dave Anderson of Famous Dave's had to say...
     
  At the opening general session, NBBQA Board member Roy Slicker shared the story of how last year's NBBQA Conference helped inspire him to open his now thriving barbecue restaurant, Slick's Que Co. in Sisters, OR.
