Largest Kosher BBQ Competition Held in Memory of San Antonio Express-News Writer Chuck Blount Returns on November 3

The Annual Texas Kosher BBQ Championship, dedicated to the memory of Chuck Blount, a long-time San Antonio Express-News Journalist RETURNS! The event will be held on Sunday, November 3rd at Congregation Agudas Achim located on Huebner Road in North Central San Antonio, Texas from 11:00am to 4:00pm.

"Chuck served as a celebrity judge for the competition for many years," said Robi Jalnos, the Competition's Founding Chairman. His insights, friendship, and support of the event contributed significantly to its success. We miss him dearly; and as we say in the Jewish tradition, may his memory be for a blessing. We are thrilled, however, Chuck's wife and former Express-News copy editor Debbie Erwin has agreed to serve as one of this year's Celebrity Judges to carry on Chuck's legacy," said Jalnos.

The Texas Kosher BBQ Championship is an annual charity event hosted by Congregation Agudas Achim. With HEB Helping Here serving as the title sponsor along with additional sponsors including the San Antonio Express-News, teams compete in the categories of brisket, chicken, salmon and beans for the Grand Champion Buckle and Cash Prize. Meanwhile thousands of guests enjoy the fruits of the showdown at this all you can eat event. Literally, a ton of kosher food supplied by HEB is prepared, cooled, and consumed on the premises of Congregation Agudas Achim, while supply lasts.
