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?

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?

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.

I'm actually developing a taste for the IPA, and I've never been an IPA person.  CarltonPlace was kind enough to bring a couple of bottles as a house-warming gift.  Dunno if it's better in glass or what.  Unfortunately, you guys were down to Miller Lite by the time I made it by.  But a free beer is always a good beer.

My back yard? Give me some frozen maragaritas and I'll bite.

Expo Square- too much asphalt, no way it could be done in July...
TU- they want to put it on the oval... could be done...
West Bank- seems logical...

I'm still waiting on the OPP to hit bottles, or has it yet?  I've tried them all now, and sofar my fave is the Wheat.  IPA has a little bit too much kick, but I still like it.

The wheat is brilliant, but the character and flavor seems more consistent in the bottles rather than the kegs.  I still think McNellies pub ale is hard to beat.  He's still not put a crappy beer out yet, there's just some I prefer more than others.

I like them all to but here is my ranking in the order that I really, really like to the ones I just really like:
Old Pavilion
Marzen
Sundown
McNellies Pub/IPA: Both of these are at the same level for me.

Who cares?  We're talking Marshall's here.  ;)

Check the Arts & Humanities Council web site, I'd think there'd be something on there.

Thanks Bruno.   Maybe Conan should start a beer thread maybe.
