The Humble BBQ Cook-Off is one of the biggest Cook-Offs in the Houston metropolitan area and has grown from 31 teams 6 years ago to 115 teams in 2009. In 2009, the BBQ Cook-Off raised nearly $100,000 for the Humble ISD Education Foundation! There is truly something for everyone.

In association with the Humble Rodeo, this event serves as a TGCBCA-sanctioned BBQ Cook-Off held on an adjacent 10-acre concrete parking lot the weekend prior to the Rodeo. 

From its humble beginnings in 2003, the BBQ Cook-Off has more than doubled its number of BBQ cooking teams from 32 to 65 in only two years. Our Grand Champions since 2005 have been eligible to compete in the American Royal Invitational in Kansas City, Mo., and are entered into a lottery to attend the world’s most difficult BBQ Cook-Off, the Jack Daniels Invitational in Lynchburg, Tn. That’s no small potatoes, folks. 

During the 2010 BBQ Cook-Off, over $100,000 was raised, and all proceeds are used by the Humble ISD Education Foundation to fund innovative classroom projects, teacher and staff development programs and grants to enhance curriculum and technology within the Humble Independent School District. The goal of the foundation is to support programs and initiatives that fall outside the scope of the normal operating budget.
