Went to a really fun event over the weekend that Code3Spices put on. Sweet Baby Ray Dave Raymond was in attendance and it was a pure joy listening to him share stories about his very first sales call on a butcher down the street from his house. There was an SCA event on Saturday and a KCBS style event on Sunday with a backyard division of chicken and ribs. If you are in the STL area, mark this one on the calendar for 2019.

Well, I missed that by a couple of weeks. We'll be in the St. Louis area for about 10 days starting on the 16th. I knew I was looking at pictures of someplace close to Missouri when I saw the pork steaks. Living in South Dakota, California, Michigan and Iowa I had never had seen a "pork steak" until we moved to Missouri, where we found out it was the state food. See them occasionally these days in Iowa, but not regularly.
Daughter went to school in Edwardsville, and part of the time lived in Collinsville, so the area is familiar.Comment

For those in the St. Louis area, I just got a notice on recently added theme nights for the Cards. I'm going to miss this one by 3 days, but interesting give-away. First BBQ night at Busch, on Aug. 13. If you buy the theme night ticket you get "free" BBQ at Ballpark Village and an apron.

I like the fact some teams were cooking on PK grills! Think I even saw a kettle in the background of that photo... a lot of drum cookers too looks like.Comment
