Although BBC does not forecast good weather for this coming weekend, it won't be short of plans. Apparently, the "original and true celebration of barbacue culture" arrives to Bristol. Grillstock Festival combines a two-day low & slow barbacue competition with international music artists, a barbacue academy, awesome festival craft beer bars, live entertainment, chilli-eating and hot-wing competitions, plus a vibrant mix of traders and exhibitors. 

Grillstock Festival 2013 will take place in the Amphitheatre (BS1 5LL) and rockabily, cajun, bluegrass, country and other south American rhythms will flood the environment.



In the BBQ competition, teams from all over the world will be competing against each other to decide who smokes joints of pork, lamb, beef and chicken the best. The Grand Champion will win the £1000 price.

Fans of authentic BBQ will be pleased to hear that there will be some  "smoky and juicy lunchtime treats" in St. Nicholas glass arcade.

The chilli-eating competition is one of the activities that drawns my attention. If you are mad enough to do this, you should get there early and sign up on the day. After filling a health questionnaire (!) where you will state you understood the side effects, you can join the competition. It will start of mild before scaling to the hottest chillis on the planet. The last person standing will take home a fantastic prize from a sponsor, which is not defined what will be. I guess the honour of being the winner would be enough for some of the contestants.


If chillis are too much for you, there are a hot-wing and rib eating competitions as well. It's all you can eat in 5-10 minutes! Contact them if you want to enter the competition in info@grillsock.co.uk.
