SMITHFIELD, Va. – Smithfield Foods is making an attempt to enter the record books. To kick off National BBQ Month in May, Smithfield will be attempting to set the Guinness World Record for the Largest Grilling Lesson on April 27 at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, in Kansas City, Missouri.

The attempt will be led by renowned pitmasters Chris Lilly and Kevin Kolman. In addition, Kansas City Chiefs’ Defensive End Chris Jones will be joining the pitmasters to help make history.

According to Guinness World Records, the requirements for this record are:

  • This record is for the greatest number of people attending and participating in a barbecue/grilling lesson at a single venue.
  • This record is to be attempted by a group of unlimited size.
  • This record is measured by the number of people who actively participate in the lesson.

Smithfield is hoping for at least 250 people to participate.

For more information on the record, go to http://www.smithfieldgetgrilling.com/GWR.

    Smithfield is now owned by the Chinese.
    Not sure what that has to do with anything but I thought I'd throw that out there.

    Budweiser is Brazilian/Belgian. Not sure what that had to do with anything either apart from "Who cares?"

    Does Arrowhead stadium have real or faux grass?

    Must be grass - don't want any wayward coals melting the field. :)

    I can't believe Toyota isn't playing that angle in their advertising. I'm sure it would catch a lot of people off guard to hear "If you really want an all American made truck buy...the Toyota Tundra!". :)

    I believe the car with the most American made parts is the Toyota Camry.

    Based on my experience with "domestic car brands", I wouldn't play that angle.

    Don't worry - we only go to NCG around these parts. And my FJ is North American made.
