I am Myron Mixon, Chief Cook of Jack’s Old South Competition Bar-B-Que Team. I started Jacks Old South in 1996 as a way to promote our family Bar-B-Que sauce that was made by my mother and father, Gaye and Jack Mixon. We competed in our first competition in Augusta, Ga. where we took 1st place in Whole Hog, 1st place in Pork Ribs and 3rd in Pork Shoulder. Since the beginning, we have won 140 plus grand championships resulting in over 1400 total trophies, 30 state championships including wins in Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Illinois, South Carolina, and Tennessee, team of the year six times, and 7 national championships. In addition we have been the Grand Champion at the World Championship in Memphis™ three times, 2001, 2004 and 2007. We have also taken a first place in the Whole Hog category at the World Championship in 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007. Jack’s Old South has been the Memphis in May™ Team of the Year with the highest number of points for the 6 years in a row. We are also the only team to win Grand Championships in Memphis in May™, Kansas City BBQ Society™ and Florida BBQ Association™ in the same year. As a result of all of our success on the various BBQ circuits we have been featured on several television shows including Food Network™, Discovery Channel™, the History Channel™, Travel Channel™, and the BBQ All Stars™ on the Versus Network. Mastering the art of Bar-B-Queing has lead to the development of our own line of Jack’s Old South Grills™ and Smokers as well as instructor for the Ultimate Bar-B-Que Cooking School.
