Meat Week, an informal celebration of barbecue, is scheduled for Jan. 31 to Feb. 7, 2010.

Meat Week participants eat as a group at a different barbecue restaurant in their respective cities each night of the week, then vote on the best in a series of categories, such as Best Sauce or Best Atmosphere. News and photos of their outings are posted on the Meat Week Web site.
