“Battle Below the Clouds”: BBQ Competition
The third annual “Battle Below the Clouds” is set for April 29, 2017, at Ruby Falls, 1720 South Scenic Highway, Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Twelve teams of backyard cookers and smokers are invited to test their skills for Best Pulled Pork, Best Ribs and Grand Champion. The meat is provided for participants to begin grilling at 6 a.m., with independent judging to start at 5 p.m. and awards to follow. (Needless to say, BBQ teams have to check in the day before.)
Proceeds benefit Lana’s Love Foundation, which helps children in the Chattanooga area who are battling cancer.
Registered teams receive two tickets to Ruby Falls and ZIPStream Aerial Adventure valued at $130, two t-shirts, two aprons, a spatula set, and discounts on food and merchandise. All entry proceeds go directly to Lana’s Love and are tax deductible.
The event is free for spectators with live music throughout the day. In the event of prolonged rain or storms, the rain date is April 30.
Ruby Falls is home to America’s deepest commercial cave and tallest underground waterfall open for public viewing. It features a 145-foot waterfall located 1,120 feet beneath the surface of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
