While the BBQ competition scene has taken a hit during the pandemic one genre of competitive cooking has taken off in the form of the Steak Cookoff Association. This week Grill Your Ace Off announced significant changes which now make this Western PA competition the largest in the state while also keeping with pandemic guidelines.
Over the last 5 years Grill Your Ace Off has raised $30,521 for Children’s Miracle Network, which includes Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, and after making modifications to the event here is what you need to know for the August 29th event.
Saturday morning there will be a Judges Class where you will be certified as an official steak judge. That sounds like the greatest job that your school guidance counselor said would never exist.
The number of teams competing has doubled which means a bigger venue! This will now take place at Turkeytown Volunteer Fire Dept which is 5 minutes from the usual location Williams Ace Hardware.

1st – $1000 (seriously, $1K to grill a steak)
2nd – $500
3rd – $300
