OK bbq is a bit different than that Carolina BBQ, so keep that in mind when trying all of them.

I'm sure I'll be there, but not until Sat.

Conan, you gonna be there or is that a dumb question?

Oh yeah.  Friday only at this point, might go back on Sat for the sampler

Might go saturday

Will be happy when this moves to a better location.

Got any ideas?  They outgrew the last one at Harwelden. 

I think as far as locations go, it's ok.  It's somewhat central, plenty of parking thanks to the mall.  The only drawback is a serious lack of shade.  Makes days like today (and tomorrow) pretty miserable.

I think having to walk across Yale is kind of a fail though. Certainly not fun when I tried it last year lugging two toddlers.

I heard they may be drawn to an area with around 30-40,000 parking spaces...

Hopefully it's different I hated NC BBQ ewl vinegar sauce...YUCK!  I only lived in NC for 4 years so trust me I need some REAL BBQ, that's what I missed about moving from TX to NC was the BBQ.

I have never had any trouble with parking at their current location?

Apparently, I barely missed you Friday night, nice set up BTW.

[cannon_fodder]

I drove by and that was enough motivation for my to smoke a brisket and a bird as well as grill some baconized potatoes and other goodness all day yesterday for a neighborhood feast.   Dead animals over fire, brilliant!

i was busier than hell all day...
the whole team was hustlin' fri night...
we fed 375 ppl on fri...

the damage-
250 pounds of charcoal
450 pounds of meat (legs of lamb, ribs, butts, brisket, chicken legs, homemade sausage)
2 80 pound whole pigs
8 gallons of bbq beans
5 gallons of sauce
3 kegs (marshall's atlas was top notch in the heat with the bbq)
15 gallons of frozen margs
15 cases of soda

we were thrilled with our placement overall and chicken/brisket...
and we were ecstatic with our 2nd place People's Choice finish...

it was a great party for us and a great event in general...

I've now heard of two places vying to be the new home of the art of BBQ. One won't please Bruno, the other will upset waterboy.
