The Kansas City Barbeque Society

Barbecue may be on the menu for a lot of Alabama homes over the Fourth of July. However, a new survey by the website Lawnstarter has lukewarm results when it comes to ranking cities in the U.S. for Barbecue.

For Madison city residents, a new barbecue cookoff is coming to town. The first-ever Smoke in the Outfield BBQ Festival will be held Friday (August 4) and Saturday (August 5) at Toyota Field, home of the Rocket City Trash Pandas.
