BUCKHANNON — Wolf’s Revenge BBQ out of Henrico, Virginia, won the 2023 Almost Heaven BBQ Bash over the weekend, narrowly beating Chunky BBQ from Pennsylvania.

“Everyone knows the story of the Three Little Pigs, but like all good classics, a little imagination can bring a whole new perspective, so we thought: what if the brick house was turned into a smokehouse, and that’s how the wolf got his revenge! And so, Wolf’s Revenge BBQ was born,” reads the team’s bio on the Kansas City Barbecue Society website.

“As a KCBS competition team, Wolf’s Revenge BBQ currently holds one of the highest KCBS contest scores for any single contest east of Tennessee,” according to the bio. “Beyond the accolades of cooking award-winning BBQ, however, we also love competitions for the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends.”
