Chicago Mini Meatup

[J-Melt]

As has been alluded to in other posts, after being the recipient of Meathead’s Backwoods G2 Party, I am obliged to host a mini Meatup in my backyard! Firm details are to come later, but I’m currently thinking June 1st in the afternoon. We could either do it to where I do the meat and anyone else who joins brings sides/drinks/desserts, or we could go cook-off style and everyone brings something smoked and we compare notes.

Let us know if you can attend and your preference in format. My kids would love it if other kids attended as well!

It’s still a long way out, but I would say tentatively in as long as work and wife plans allow for it. Id be interested in everyone bringing something and comparing notes. But anything is cool with me. Will be nice to meet others around here!

I’m definitely interested, but it’s too far away for me to commit. I’d love to see that Backwoods smoker in action - great idea!

[J-Melt]

Sounds good! I think I’ll re create this post in February or March when it’s closer. I like getting these things in my calendar early because our weekends tend to fill up with stuff quick.

I am interested for sure. As for the format, I’m flexible. I would even be willing to cook there. I could bring my Orion Cooker and blast out a bunch of meat on the spot. That thing cooks really fast. But whatever. I’m 90% in.

Roughly what's your location-ish in Chicago? I'd be coming from Indy. Brian

[J-Melt]

I’m on the south side near the Sox stadium. So you wouldn’t have to go through downtown to get here!

[mrteddyprincess]

J-Melt barring something unforeseen I will be there!

Hmmm, can I convince my wife that we should go visit the kids/grandkids that weekend? Can I convince them to only be available on the day this mini meat-up isn’t? Can I convince myself this isn’t crazy? [I need a twirling the mustache emoji].

[mrteddyprincess]

(I was being a little absurd, seeing how the drive from FL to Indy is huge compared to the drive from Indy to Chicago. Totally understand :-) )

[Draznnl]

mrteddyprincess my head is so in the clouds over the Cubs new manager hiring that I totally missed the utter absurdity of your post. D’oh

[SheilaAnn]

Draznnl right?

Like I said, the dates should work for me.

Since it isn’t hunting season, my calendar is usually open.

[radiodome21]

I’m interested as well but I too won’t know until we get closer. Can I wear my Cubs hat?

[J-Melt]

Haha! Yes! In my Texan Chicagoan style, I have both Cubs and Sox hats on hand. We gave both teams a fair chance since both my wife and I are transplants and the Cubs won. I was then given a Sox hat when a friend got sick of me wearing my Cubs hat to church. In my current indifference, I wear either depending on the day.

You will be surprised how many Cubs flags and banners you see in both Bridgeport and Canaryville.

Seeing if there is any more interest from localish folks.

Definitely interested. I didn’t see the original post.

[Murdy]

Same here. This far out, can't say for sure though.
