SUPERBOWL OF SWINE



Ok for all those of you that did not make the trip to Memphis for the BBQ Fest, here is a little overview of what took place. Due to the weather the previous week during Music fest the park was a total disaster. It looked like and felt like we were setting up in a BarnYard for cattle and Pigs and smelled about the same..But not withstanding PORK'O'SAURUS persevered and built a really nice setup and held one hell of a party. From all our friends and guest from all over the globe and continental U.S. we put on one heck of a feed and party. Needles to say all our days were long starting at 4.30 am and ending at 12.30 to 1.00 am. and did it for 4 days. Of course we entered all of the ancillary events and our speciality of RIBS. on Friday after the ancillary events were completed with Jamaican Jerk shrimp, Lamb Rib lets,Beef Kabobs,Steve's Glazed chicken, Sam's habanero hot wings, Beans we ate some mighty fine appetizers that afternoon! On the second note that was the day that i was OVER SERVED by myself and my friends. i was proud of my recycling with the use of the 1/2 gallon vodka bottle converted to a drinking glass for all of my liquid libations and i proceeded to get a little overdone!!!!!! But with the great traditions of my bounce back techniques i was up an at it at 4.30 am for the competition .
Well the great news is that we brought home a trophy and placed 6Th out of 108 rib teams and were only 3 tenths of a point out of finals, man them ribs were fantastic. also we ended up in 6Th place in People Choice. So once again PORK'O'SAURUS has done a great job and everyone pitched in and got it done.... so here are a few pictures of the event and hope everyone plans on coming down next year if you missed it this time around..

Recipes to tryl

a couple of weeks ago i came up with a really good dipping sauce for hot wings and it is great on seafood. I call it Benjie's Bamango sauce. to make it you use plain yogurt,bannannas,mangos,brown sugar, salt, lime juice, cinammon, orange juice concentrate. and you mix it up in blender until it is smooth and creamy, it was the talk of the town at the Southern Hot Wing Festival.. i will go into detail on exact recipe later. join in and lets talk cooking...
