Pudru ja Kapsad

The legendary BBQ competition is back — this time at just the right moment, when the cabbages have grown plump in the fields. The prize fund is many times bigger than ever before: five thousand euros in all.

When Sat, 19 September 2026
Categories Chicken · pork ribs · pudru ja kapsad (porridge and cabbage)
Prize fund 5000 €
Where Humala tee 16, Adra village

The legendary Pudru ja Kapsad takes place on 19 September! By then the cabbages and the porridge grains are ripe in the fields. And of course the main categories, chicken and pork ribs, are on as well.

“Porridge and cabbage” ended up in the name of the competition for organisational reasons — so that we'd have something odd to put together :) But the competition is judged by experienced, internationally certified judges, so it is certainly no joke.

The host of the day is Tarmo Griffel, the “Grill Doctor” from Tagasi Tiimis. The BBQ bar is open from the morning until late in the evening.

Two good reasons to come along
