Barbecue Festivals

What are the premiere US Barbecue Festivals? Any festivals in the NY area to recommend, even if they aren't the top ones?

Howard Stern has been talking up Grill-a-Palooza... something he's throwing together -- Steve was on the show the other day -- looking forward to that coming together

Howard is only talking about that beacuse he got a new grill. He well forget in a few weeks. Maybe we should have our own

From what I've heard the Kansas City Royal is one of the better in the country, it's a pretty big deal here in good ol' King City.

For anyone in the Chicago area, this weekend (july 2-6) is Rib Fest in Naperville, about 30 minutes west of the CIty. There will be 25 rib vendors and is always a good eat!
