The Ques Brothers: MIM BBQ Fest World Championship Shoulder team

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, we once again competed in Shoulder and took home the 3rd Place trophy in only our second year.

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.  We will also post a membership application and payment options here.

If you are interested in joining the Ques Brothers as a team member or corporate sponsor, please contact Chuck Blum at chuck_blum@yahoo.com.
