Kingsford® Supports America's Pitmasters
Craving some BBQ? Put it on Kingsford’s tab.
The charcoal king is picking up a daily $5,000 tab at BBQ spots nationwide to encourage visitation at local businesses while states are still in various phases of coronavirus-related dining restrictions.
Named the #togetherwithbarbecue initiative, it’s Kingsford's way of saluting top notch barbecue restaurants and to bring attention to local pitmasters all over the country, helping them to maintain and develop a following during these difficult times the best way possible: free barbecue!
The idea is for the pitmasters to offer their signature dishes for free until the tab runs out.
Eighteen restaurants representing 15 different states each have a day in the coming weeks where the Kingsford tab is open. Southern states naturally represent a majority, but as barbecue has stretched its reach to all corners of the country!
This is the second wave of the #togetherwithbarbecue initiative by Kingsford. Back in March, the brand identified 25 pitmasters for $10K grants to put to use to keep the smoke rolling. The value to the pitmasters and their communities was immeasurable.
