Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle 2017 - Day 1 Photo Recap

The Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle celebrated its 25th anniversary today with a new location (further down Pennsylvania Avenue, towards the U.S. Capitol) lots of sunshine (I have the sunburn to prove it) and possible record-breaking crowds. In between, the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, Taste of Giant Sampling Pavilion and tons of yummy barbecue. Missed it? Don't despair. The Battle resumes tomorrow, 11 AM to 7 PM (click here to purchase tickets online.)
