OC BBQ Bonanza

This weekend at the Fountain Valley Sports Park in Orange County, CA The OC BBQ Bonanza was held allowing anyone and everyone a chance to enjoy some delicious BBQ and a wide array of side dishes, cold libations and much, much more. Starting Friday and going thru Sunday evening the event was a huge success, bringing in thousands of attendees from all over Southern California, all looking for a chance to cast their vote for the best BBQ of the weekend.

Taking part in the fierce & smoke filled battle were competitors from across the country who brought their A game in full force. From mouth watering Baby Back Ribs, Baked Sweet Potatoes, Spicy Mac & Cheese to Gourmet Sausages, Tri-Tip, Pulled Pork and Roasted Corn, the event had more delicious BBQ on hand than I have found at any other event in Southern California for quite a long time.

Guests were also able to purchase tickets giving them access to the VIP Rib Village where an all you can eat buffet was set up inside a huge tent adjacent to the stage. Inside the tent guests could choose from baby backs, St. Louis style ribs, beef ribs, great sides like corn salsas, potato salads, cold beers, wines and great desserts until their hearts and stomachs were content.  

With tables scattered all over the VIP area there seemed to be plenty of seating for everyone and what was nice to see were the guests that didn’t take up an entire table, welcoming strangers to come join them at their tables so people didn’t have to stand and eat. Good BBQ always brings people together in my opinion.

The weather couldn’t have been more picture perfect, seeing as how it has been extremely hot over the last few weeks in California, it seemed that luckily the temperature never reached its normal scorching levels, giving just enough of a breeze for the kids to play while the adults snacked on good food and sipped on strong drinks.
