Big Creek BBQ is a professional competition barbecue team based in Pleasant Hill, Missouri. The team began competing in the fall of 2005 with its first competition being the American Royal in Kansas City, the world's largest barbecue contest. Now in their seventh year of competing on the Kansas City Barbeque Society (KCBS) circuit, Big Creek BBQ has won more awards than they ever thought possible in such a short time span, including championships in all four KCBS meat categories (chicken, ribs, pork and brisket), reserve grand championships, grand championships and two perfect score pins. In addition, the team finished the 2010 season ranked 5th in chicken, 37th in ribs, 19th in pork, 3rd in brisket and overall 5th in the national Team of the Year standings out of 5,275 teams.

In six plus seasons, Big Creek BBQ has competed in over 90 events in eleven states, from California to Michigan to Alabama and many points in between. The team has logged over 25,000 miles during that time and spent many nights on the road in hotels. But the best part of it all has been the hundreds of friends they've met with whom they've enjoyed the time on the circuit! Big Creek's favorite thing to do is talk baebecue and anyone is welcome to drop by a contest to say hello and chat about cooking great barbecue!
