HISTORY? Bologna sausage, also known as boloney, or polony, is an American sausage derived from and somewhat similar to the Italian mortadella (a finely hashed/ground pork sausage containing cubes of lard that originated in the Italian city of Bologna. U.S. government regulations require American bologna to be finely ground, and without visible pieces of lard. Mortadella will be categorized by having visible pieces of lard. 

WHY? BOLOGNA has a bad rap because consumers don’t trust the source. Now is time to bring bologna back in positive light. Chefs across the country use the Classic American Sausage into sandwiches. The process promotes 100% utilization (food profit that trims the fat). Entries for this contest can showcase the fat chunked (mortadella, rustic) or emulsified. For the tasting, guests will have access to white bread, mayo and mustard. For restaurant use, roll it in pastry and bake it, put it on pizzas or on the BBQ grill. Heritage BBQ weekend is about inspiring whole animal utilization in BBQ restaurants.


From the first guest to last bourbon, 3-days in Memphis dedicated to the building blocks of the perfect whole pig BBQ menu. HAVE YOU SEEN OUR HERITAGE BBQ PREVIEW?
