SMOKED. American Barbecue held a barbecue eating contest on Saturday for a good cause.
Three Great Falls organizations competed against each other to see who finish their plate first.
YWCA took home first and $500, while right behind them was Royal Family Kids with $300. In last was the Great Fall Daycare Association who took home $200.
One of the owners said this was a fun way to give back to a community that means a lot to them.
“We’ve been in foster care for the past three years, and with the child abuse in Great Falls, it’s always been very important to us to support them,” said Christy Cavanagh. “For the rest of this year, we would like to solely center on foster care and different organizations and all of our donations this year will be going towards that.”
Normally Smoked. closes at 4 p.m. or when they run out of food, but for this event, they made extra and stayed open all day.
“We’re not open nights, and so we wanted something that would be fun to do. We thought, it’s summer time, it’s getting warmer, and let’s do something fun and be open one evening and go towards a good cause while we’re at it.”
The contestants had to eat two helping of meats, two sides, and four pieces of bread.
YWCA cleaned up their plates in 14 minutes and 15 seconds and Royal Family Kids finished in 20 minutes.
SMOKED. is located at 203 2nd Avenue North and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
