SCA Arkansas State Championship

11/30/2025

Wow! What a weekend!
It was wild, competitive, and flat-out fun from start to finish.

We watched this year’s points leader Dal Luther dominate both Friday and Saturday morning steak competitions, setting the tone early. But then came Championship round and the excitement hit a whole new level.

🏆 Big Jim’s Kids Champion: Kalum (Green) Berger
🥇 Ancillary Champion: Paul Doshier (Back-to-Back)
🔥 Steak Champions: Tim Brown and Kevin Jaenke (Tie)

John and I want to thank everyone who came out, cooked, judged, volunteered, and spent the weekend with us. We truly appreciate each of you and hope to see everyone again next year!

🔥We are less than one week away from Championship Weekend

Like a lot of events around the country, we are definitely feeling the pinch with fewer cooks signing up this year. But let us be clear, we are not canceling!

It may cause us to rethink hosting the State Championship in the future because we all understand the financial strain is real for both promoters and competitors. But for this year we are all in and ready to put on a great event.

If you are planning to attend, please go ahead and get signed up. Early registrations help us tremendously.

We cannot wait to see everyone and make it another memorable weekend!

We’re only 4 weeks away!! 🏆 It’s almost State Championship time!! Over the past several years, the weekend after Thanksgiving has become the big warm-up for the World Championships, a true Who’s Who event and a chance to be crowned the Arkansas State Champion! 🔥🥩

We know times are tough and a lot of our friends aren’t cooking as much as we used to. But that’s no reason for everyone not to come back out and compete for a championship. More than anything, we all miss the company and friendships we’ve built over the years. 🤝

So why not come out and cook a steak in a parking lot? 🔥 With the smaller number of cooks in Arkansas this year, the championship is open to anyone as long as you cook in either the Friday night or Saturday morning event.

If you’re chasing points, you better be here, because those close in the standings will be! There will be 4 steak cooks and 3 ancillary events all packed into just 2 days! 🕒🥩

Still looking for that Golden Ticket? 🎫 We’re once again the only cook in the country that weekend, so this is your perfect shot to grab that ticket to the World Championships! 🌎🏅

John and I really hope you’ll join us once again. It’s always a great time and it helps raise money for our high school athletic program and our town Chamber of Commerce.

Also, come in and stay the whole weekend! We have a huge parking lot along with indoor restrooms and showers to make your stay comfortable. 🚿🚗🔥

Let’s fire up those grills, make some memories, and crown another Arkansas State Champion together! 🔥🥩🏆
