The Anchor City Cook Off returns on October 9-10, 2020 in beautiful downtown Centralia, Missouri.  Mark your calendars for the Anchor City Cook Off! Enjoy great food from vendors and a great fall day.

This year we will have many returning teams and individuals all trying to win this KCBS Sanctioned State Championship BBQ Contest .

If eating great barbecue and enjoying homemade desserts is more to your liking then we invite you to spend a great fall afternoon in Missouri smelling great barbecue, enjoying many different types and of course, having a piece of homemade pie to top off the day.

Contests include:
  • KCBS Sanctioned BBQ Contest
  • Backyard BBQ Contest
  • Kids-Que BBQ Contest
  • One Bite Wonder
and more!

This is a favorite regional event here in central Missouri and it's worth the drive from anywhere in the state.

Come join us and bring an appetite!
