2023 Edisto Cookin' On The Creek

First Place BBQ winner is Backwoods
The 4th Annual Edisto Cookin' On The Creek two-day Festival was held October 13 - 14 in Bay Creek Park by the Marina. The South Carolina Barbecue Association sanctioned cooking contest invites teams to compete for best Chicken Wings on Friday and best BBQ pork on Saturday. The Town of Edisto Beach sponsors this event and it serves as a fundraiser to provide upkeep for Bay Creek Park all year long. The first Cookin' on the Creek Festival was in 2019 and the event featured 11 cooking teams in 2023, pretty much filling up the entire park. 

Wing Night is Friday Night!
Friday afternoon featured drizzly and cooler weather that caused country musician Cody Webb to play a stripped down acoustic set under the fixed porch at the Park's meeting hall. The cooking teams presented their wings to the judges to taste, and then were able to concentrate on smoking the Boston Butts they are provided with. No Chicken Wings awards are given out Friday night, so that everyone can focus on BBQ. Saturday's clearer weather helped draw a big crowd of hungry customers. Music by YeeHaw Junction went on all day and the $1 BBQ taste offerings eventually were sold out, and the the Cornhole tournament finished up. Then the Awards ceremony with Edisto Mayor presenting the custom trophies was held.
