    I think I need to cull something. We have too much food. Should I cut the beef ribs or the brisket?
    maybe just less of each....I would hate to part with the beef ribs.

    Yeah, I have a pack of 4. Maybe I'll just bring 2.  Or I could cut the Pork ribs and I'll do all the beef. I was planning on doing 3 racks of my comp ribs.

    Wow almost here. Been working in Chicago this week. Can't wait to get back to my egg, and start making some adult beverages for the NC2B.

    I hand selected 300 oysters and have them ready to pull outta the water at noon on Friday.  Will be at NCBB about 530pm Friday.  BYO oyster knife, I won't let mine outta my sight.  Oh, and I don't want to shock anyone but my avatar isn't really me.

    I don't have an oyster knife! It sounds like your a pro at shucking them so why would anyone else need an oyster knife? :)

    Matt, I will provide you with some initial instruction. I will stand by to supervise your apprenticeship. If you shuck mine well, I will issue an official certificate of achievement. It will be a great experience for you.

    I'm doing the pulled pork pizza and intended to smoke a butt before I come to the fest, but after seeing the menu just wondering if I will be able to get a pound or two from the on site cooks? KayNOcook my wife will be baking at least one of her world famous easy apple cakes. We will be driving down Friday and staying in the campground. Looking forward to an awesome time meeting new friends. Jim & Kay

    Jim,

      For sure we can provide the PP for your pizza.  No need to bring your own!

    @tarheelmatt I will bring a spare knife or two that I don't have emotional attachment to.  The emotional attachment is that I attended a workshop where these two women taught us how to hone our oyster knives. Scroll down to the video and watch Deborah, at one time the fastest woman shucker in the world (#2 overall), and her sister Clementine.  https://rvanews.com/entertainment/oyster-shucking-sisters-revel-in-international-spotlight/103602

    Wish I had one with Wildcats on it.  Probably would keep that away from Mattie.  See you next weekend brother!

    I think Scott is planning to do some Pulled Pork Eggrolls in his deep fryer.  I didn't put them on the menu, because I want them all for myself.

    Yep, beignets and pulled pork egg rolls (,already prepped). May do some of the @Sgh deep fried butter things too.  If you'll give me the rum shooters recipe I'll do that!
