For the second consecutive year, and the sixth time overall, the grand champion at the annual Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational Barbecue competition is a team from Oklahoma.

This time the BBQ place will be opening up in OKC next month. Last year's winner is in a little building in Wellston, on Rt-66 and almost impossible to get in without a long wait. The new winner is a big place, and it will be interesting to see how they do in the competitive field of Oklahoma BBQ.

The place I like the most is just a few miles away here in Edmond, and their meat is so tender you never need a knife. Their sauce is pretty good, but a bit tangy for my taste. The place that has dang good sauce and meat has been in business since the 50s, and been through several owners. Jack's BBQ started off in the 1950s in downtown OKC by an old black man. My former boss said it was in all done in a small building, and he said it was hysterical seeing a bunch of white business men in suits, with their ties stuffed in their shirts, snarfing up BBQ at an old black man's business in the 1950s and 60s. Jack retired, sold the business and recipe and it moved to Rt-66 in OKC.

They have great food, just don't look around much at the dirty building. I don't know how the health department has not shut them down in this day and age. The second owners did great, and when momma was on the knife it was fantastic. They sold it to a younger couple, and it was good but more expensive. They sold it to the current owners, and only the sauce is the same.
