BBQ Events: The Big Apple BBQ Block Party

What are you doing this weekend? Me, I'm helping out the fine folks over at Hill Country BBQ as they make their debut on the New York barbecue scene at the 5th Annual Big Apple BBQ Block Party.

The Big Apple BBQ Block Party will be on June 9 and 10 from Noon to 6:00 pm each day. You'll be able to feast on barbecue from some of the greatest Pit Masters in the United States. Bryan Bracewell, Rob Richter, Gary Roark, Chris Lilly, Mike Mills, Joe Duncan and a bunch of the other masters of the Que will be cooking for your enjoyment.

This is an incredible event held each year to raise money to benefit the Madison Square Park Conservancy.

This event is a lot like Times Square on New Year's Eve. It will be packed. A word to the wise - get there EARLY! You can pre-purchase your food tickets on-line, but be prepared to wait for the food. You'll be glad you did.
