If I can find the time, I sure will Pops. Unfortunately, once the line starts forming we don't get much time to take pics.

Both seem like they are going to be great events. We will be next to the beer tent at the BMW show. I hope we get to see you guys out there Scott!

We had a pretty good day yesterday. Our menu was 140 lbs pulled pork, 70 lbs sliced brisket, 30 lbs baked beans, 30 lbs coleslaw (white, not red), and 30 lbs mac and cheese (all from scratch). This one was very different from our previous festivals with business being steady, but not overwhelming between 10 am and 3pm. From 3pm - 5pm it was slow and we sold a lot of to-go plates. We sold out of baked beans first and then mac and cheese. We had 2 lbs of coleslaw, 15 lbs of pulled pork and 4 lbs of brisket leftover. I am definitely getting better at estimating quantities needed. This was also the first event that we sold soft drinks and water.

For those interested, here are the statistics we collected.

Sandwiches: 143

Single Meat Plates: 107

Double Meat Plates: 23

Pounds of Meat: 8

Pounds of Side: 1

Half Pounds of Meat: 2

Half Pounds of Sides: 2

Drinks: 212

Total Orders: 202

Now to reset for next weekend. I have to make more beans, sauces, and rubs.

Sounds like another successful event. Glad to hear it. Good luck next weekend too.

All loaded up and ready to cook. Hope to see some of you out at Old Salem this weekend for The Vintage classic BMW car show.

Line started forming around 10am and didn't let up until we sold out of everything at 1:30 pm.

Pulled pork sold out first, then coleslaw 5 minutes later, then baked beans, brisket 10 minutes later, and mac and cheese 30 seconds later. It is hot as hell and we are stuck here til 6 , so we are still selling drinks.
