These groups include:
* Blue Ribbon Brisket Society, headed by Bobo the Bear, serving Texas brisket with Spicy Mop Sauce, which Bobo is seen applying to his beef brisket with a literal mop.
* Sizzlin' Pit Dry Rub Coalition, headed by Rowlf, serving Memphis style barbecue from a barbecue pit he dug himself.
* Blue Ridge Vinegar League, headed by Janice, representing North Carolina barbecue traditions with vinegar based sauces.
* Old Glory Mustard Guild, headed by Gonzo, who has slathered his meals in tangy "Carolina Gold" mustard.
