S.L.O.B.S. (St. Louis Occasional Barbecue Society) kicked off its new season May 26 with the sixth-annual invitational rib-off outside Iron Barley. A barbecue competition that takes place in different St. Louis locations each month, the 2014 debut event benefited Lift For Life and the Carondelet food pantry.
