The 4th Annual Cook for the Cure will be taking place this weekend in Slaton, Texas. Shannon and Corbin explained that cooking teams will be competing in various categories such as brisket, ribs, and "outlaw beans," and will be awarded cash prizes in each category. There will also be live music at the cook-off, all-you-can-eat barbecue and a street dance.
