Welcome to The Ques Brothers website!

We are a World Championship Shoulder team that competes in the annual Memphis in May World Barbecue Championship Contest (or as locals call it, BBQ Fest).

Comprised of over 40 members primarily from Memphis and Chicago, we come together once a year for fun and BBQ.

In 2007, our rookie year in the competition, we finished 12th in the Shoulder category out of nearly 80 teams.  In 2008, only our second year, we took home the trophy for 3rd Place in World Championship Shoulder.

Our head cook, Willie Wagner, runs Honky Tonk Barbeque in Chicago, a restaurant serving ribs and his world championship pulled pork shoulder.  With his mobile BBQ unit, Willie also does catering in the Chicagoland area, serving up ribs, shoulder, brisket, bratwurst, burgers, chicken, and even whole hog.

Team members: Please check this site often.  We’ll use it to make announcements for the 2009 competition, and we’ll use the forum to do some of the planning.  You can now pay your 2009 membership dues online.  Click the “Pay Now” button on the sidebar. Membership application coming soon.  This year’s BBQ Fest’s dates are May 14-16, 2009, and Chile is the honored country.
