June 11, 2011 - Big Apple BBQ Party



Chris Lilly of Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, Decatur, AL



Ed Mitchell of Raleigh , N.C. with Whole Hog BBQ and newly added Turkey.



Crackling or skin on the fire.




The line for the Whole Hog sandwich was over 45 minutes and that was on the Fast Pass line. The wait was worth it, the best there is. The Crackling was given to the line holders as they waited. A great idea.



Hill Country had no line. Too bad, their Brisket is out of this world. They too were giving free samples to the Ed Mitchell mega line. Many , like myself, bought some Brisket for the wait.



The wood is for flavor.



Dinosaur Bar-B-Que Pork butts.



Beer garden was crowded. The Goose Island Beer made it bearable.



There was also Running Bull Wine. This was the Wine tasting tent. Very friendly crew.

Long lines at this booth.



Big Ed brings his own 18-Wheeler. Yesterday, they sold out early. Picked up two to go today.



Going to work on Whole-Hog style BBQ. His restaurant is called The Pit.



Impressive Beer Menu from Heartland Brewery.



I had to visit one of my faves: Dinosaur Barbeque.
