Food News Media to Cohost 20th Annual Championship Barbecue and Cookout at 2017 NRA Show

Proceeds to benefit World Central Kitchen

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Aug. 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Annual Championship BBQ & Cookout is 20 and counting! This year Food News Media will serve as co-host with the event founder Barbara Mathias and her colleague, Beverly Stephen, the former publisher and executive editor respectively of Food Arts magazine. The BBQ will take place on Sunday, May 21, 2017, during the NRA Show in Chicago.

Equal parts party and high-powered networking event, the Championship BBQ and Cookout is known to food industry insiders as a “must attend.” Each year, the best chefs in Chicago face off over flames to feed up to 1,000 chefs and operators, including many of the industry’s leaders. It also attracts many high-quality sponsors integral to the event’s success.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit World Central Kitchen, an international organization led by chef José Andrés, which uses its network of world-renowned chefs to find sustainable solutions to end world hunger.

“We are truly honored to be part of such a high-profile event,” says Greg Sanders, group publisher of Food News Media. “The reputation of the Championship BBQ and Cookout is second to none, and it supports such a wonderful cause. What more could you ask for in an industry event? We are excited to serve as co-host.”
