BBQ

The countdown has begun! In just 48 hours Starting today at 6pm! Project Host will be smokin’ again at the corner of Main and Broad Streets in downtown Greenville!
April 26-27, in conjunction with the South Carolina BBQ Association and the City of Greenville the fourth annual BBQ Cook-off and Festival will feature a People’s Choice Chicken Wing Competition on Friday night, and a Judged Barbeque and Rib Cooking contest Saturday.
