The Dallas Kosher BBQ Championship (DKBBQC) is excited to announce yet another new addition to our long list of great celebrity judges over the years as we welcome Danielle Bennett, aka Diva Q, to the celebrity judging table for the Seventh Annual Dallas Kosher BBQ Championship.

Bennett started in BBQ in 2006 at an event and was instantly drawn into the craft. Three days after that event, she bought her first ‘smoker thingy’ and started off on her journey.  With over 400 individual BBQ awards, as well as having taught over 20,000 folks the world over, Diva Q is a respected industry leader, influencer, and ambassador for all things grilling and BBQ.  She has even taught BBQ classes in Tel Aviv!

Her best-selling cookbook Diva Q’s BBQ was nominated as a World Gourmand Best Cookbook in the World.  As one of the most influential and recognizable faces in BBQ, Diva Q has been an expert master BBQ judge & competitor on the Food Network, Destination America’s BBQ Pitmasters, The Travel Channel, & many more.  Her own show BBQ Crawl aired for 3 seasons and has been shown in over 150 countries, while her recipes & expertise have been featured on the Today Show as well as in countless articles online and in print. 

She lives by her trademark “Life is too short for bad BBQ®️‼️”
