The Kansas City Barbeque Society is proud to announce the upcoming launch of The 2009 Great American BBQ Tour, a cross-country tour of some of the nation's top BBQ and food festivals.

This tour, which will be on display at 25 premiere events and also make numerous stops at retail locations across the U.S., will show how backyard grillers can take tips from the BBQ pros of the KCBS and apply them to their outdoor cooking at home.

The tour will also demonstrate the products that go great in and with world-class BBQ, including TABASCO brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce, Kingsford Competition Briquets, Weber Grill Creations and SCOTT Shop Towels. The demo will even include the perfect solution, TUMS, for when you over indulge in our world-famous BBQ.

Stop by the Great American BBQ Tour display, and you will not only learn tips from the pros, but you can sample BBQ from our expert chefs and walk away with great recipes and tips to use at home.

If you have ever wanted to take your grilling to the next level, then be sure to check out the Great American BBQ Tour - coming to a city near you! Keep checking back for an updated schedule of tour events.
