419 BBQ Battle Set for May 14 at Appliance Center

by Appliance Center

The area’s premier food truck BBQ event returns to Maumee on Saturday, May 14. Top BBQ food trucks will throw down in the parking lot at Appliance Center’s Maumee location to crown the 419’s BBQ champion. It’s all to benefit an even more important battle — the fight against breast cancer in Northwest Ohio.

Last year’s event was a tremendous success. Folks turned out in droves to the free event to sample the smoky deliciousness and tasty sides. The event also featured celebrity judges, live music, fun for kids, and a raffle to benefit the Komen Foundation of NWO.

We have even more fun on tap for this year. So far, we’ve got nine trucks lined up to battle it out in five categories:

  • Pork Shoulder
  • Chicken
  • Ribs
  • Side (Hot or Cold)
  • Sauce

This year’s participants include:

  • Whiskey Jack’s ( 2021 Winner for Best Cold Side)
  • Deets BBQ
  • Rick’s Shack Outback (2021 Winner for Pork Shoulder)
  • Jo Jo’s
  • O Henry’s
  • Miss Molly’s Taste of Texas
  • MudCity
  • Wicked Wiches and BBQ
  • Big Mealz on Wheelz

NeNe’s Sweets and Susie Lynne’s Lemonade will also be on hand with sweet treats and refreshing lemonade.

The fun starts at 11 am on Saturday, May 14, and lasts until 6 pm.
