Turf and Surf BBQ Champions crowned at KCBS-sanctioned #BETonBBQ

Winners of the 2019 #BETonBBQ Event

With more than $15,000 in prizes and 35 teams competing, it was no easy task to become Grand Champion of the 2019 #BETonBBQ Turf and Surf BBQ Championship.

Known for a gorgeous setting and a storied history — just like its iconic founder Bing Crosby — the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club hosts one of the West Coast’s biggest BBQ competitions, the #BETonBBQ Turf and Surf BBQ Championship.

While the weather was pleasant during the fourth-annual KCBS-sanctioned competition and tasting event on Sunday, Aug. 18, 2019, the competition was fierce.

On the line was not merely a trophy and bragging rights. Sanctioned by Kansas City Barbeque Society, a win at Turf and Surf means much more, a chance to climb the national rankings.

In addition to competing professional teams, the yearly Turf and Surf BBQ event also includes top restaurants and barbecue personalities that gave any visitor a true feel of how the West Coast BBQ Movement has evolved. Something Turf & Surf co-founders Shawn Walchef (Cali Comfort BBQ) and Derek Marso (Valley Farm Market) attribute to the area’s diverse culture.

Restaurants that participated in the fourth-annual #BETonBBQ event included Grande Ole BBQ y Asado, Del’s Hideout, Corbin’s Q, Valley Farm Market, and, of course, Cali Comfort BBQ.

Along with all the championship BBQ excitement, Turf and Surf also featured live cooking demos from food personalities including Sam the Cooking Guy, Chef David Rose, and Cali Comfort BBQ’s own Gene Goycochea.
