H-E-B is proud to partner again with the McAllen Chamber of Commerce as the Presenting Sponsor of the “Sizzling in the Tropics” BBQ Cook-off. H-E-B provides all the meats to the teams for competition. At the event, you can expect to try the best cuts for grilling that H-E-B has to offer like the Fajita Especial, tumbled for tenderness and seasoned to perfection. At your H-E-B grocery stores, you can find the perfect cut for summer grilling, from marinated fajitas to premium cuts like the Prime 1 and Wagyu Steaks.
The cook-off will feature 30 local BBQ Cook-off teams competing to see who grills the best Brisket, Chicken Wings, Pulled Pork, Pork Ribs, Charro Beans, and Pan de Campo. Attendees can sample all the meats plus enjoy a beverage garden and live musical performances by Leonado, Lauren Corzine, and La Razon.
