More than 100,000 people will attend the 2011 Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Contest which runs May 12-14th at Tiger Lane at the Mid-South Fairgrounds.  Hundreds of teams will compete for more than $110,000 in prizes and supreme bragging rights, but only one team will take home the nation’s top Cole Slaw Championship award.

Reser’s head chef, and cole slaw connoisseur, Barbara Jordan shares, “Memphis, Tennessee is the undisputed barbecue capital of the world.  And, no BBQ is complete without cole slaw and potato salad. From sweet and savory to spicy hot, we can’t wait to see the teams pull out all the stops to win this year’s Cole Slaw competition.”

What’s in a Name?

Team Hogapalooza from Wynne, Arkansas won last year’s grand prize for their “Apple Cole Slaw” made with apples, bell peppers, vinaigrette and, of course, cabbage.  “Our sweet cole slaw is a family recipe that blends well with our award winning barbecue – applewood smoked pork with apple jelly barbecue sauce,” says team member Kelly Dallas. “It’s really something if you win at Memphis in May because you’re among the best barbecuers in the land…it’s something to be proud of.”

This year, judges will look for the best combination of appearance, texture, and flavor.  Joining team Hogapalooza with creative names are Pork Fiction, Reservoir Hogs, Natural Born Grillers, and Church of Swinetology.

Beaverton, Ore. – May 3, 2011 – Reser’s new line of fully baked side dishes are packed with cheese, flavor and convenience. Reser’s Main St. Bistro™ Baked Scalloped Potatoes, Baked Mac & Cheese and Baked Hash Brown Casserole offer a delicious short-cut to making casseroles from scratch.

“The average American family spends less than 30 minutes making dinner,” states John McCarthy, category manager. And nearly 80 percent of Americans have no idea what they’re going to have for dinner as late as 4:00 pm according to The Richards Research Group. For those caught in the “What’s for Dinner?” dilemma, Reser’s fully baked side dishes offer a tasty and easy short cut.

Why Baked is Better

What’s the secret? Each baked side dish has a light, crunchy, golden brown Top Bake ™ cheddar cheese crust that delivers home-baked taste right from the microwave. “Frozen entrees can take an hour to cook or lack that satisfying crunch of a homemade dish,” states McCarthy. “Reser’s refrigerated baked sides can be prepared in the either microwave or oven and offer a fresh, out-of-the-oven taste.”

About Main St. Bistro Baked Sides

These three rich and savory dishes pair well with beef, chicken or pork entrées.

1. Main St. Bistro Baked Scalloped Potatoes: This rich and creamy baked casserole   features layers of tender potatoes topped with a golden brown cheddar cheese crust.

2. Main St. Bistro Baked Mac & Cheese: This rich and savory baked casserole topped with a golden brown cheddar cheese crust is comfort food at its tastiest.

3. Main St. Bistro Baked Hash Brown Casserole: This hearty casserole has hash brown style potatoes and is topped with a golden brown cheddar cheese crust.

Available in the West

These side dishes are available in leading supermarkets and specialty stores across the Western US.
