Welcome to the home of the Georgia Barbecue Hall of Fame. Our mission is to collect and preserve the rich history and traditions of Georgia Barbecue by recognizing and honoring a distinguished and select group of innovators, visionaries, leaders, and luminaries who have made significant contributions to the art, science, business, or sport of Georgia Barbecue.
If you’d like to nominate someone for the Hall of Fame please see the Nomination Process for more information. You’ll find instructions on nominating an individual, group, team, organization, business, restaurant, or any other entity who has made a significant contribution to Georgia Barbecue.
To submit a nomination you can use the online Nomination Form or download, complete, and return it via mail or email.
As nominations are received, the list of nominees currently under consideration for induction into the Georgia Barbecue Hall of Fame will be updated periodically.
Nominations for the class of 2026 have now closed and those selected will be inducted in February of 2026, but we continue to take public nominations for future years.
