well- I really need to eat more salad and drink less beer. We all know that neither of those things are going to last more than a day or 2 but I will at least share with you how I found myself in this position.
As documented in the @20stone thread about him "reuniting" with his long lost love (large egg), we destroyed several pounds of pork curry Saturday night to break in the new house and old egg. We had a bunch of fancy charcuterie before Cali showed up with the "Ring of Fire" curry and flower pot naan rig.
As if that was not enough, we had Migas, brisket breakfast tacos, 3 beers and 2 cocktails for breakfast this morning.
Then it got weird. @20stone generously invited us to attend Southern Smoke, a MS charity fundraiser thrown by the owner of a restaurant group in Houston- Chris Sheppard of Underbelly, Haymarket, and a few others). Ay-Ayron Franklin was there, Rodney Scott did a few whole hogs, the Pitmaker guys were there, it was quite a show. Here are a few pics of the festivities:
Rodneys whole hog
Above- line for one ounce of Franklin Brisket.

And here are the innards of the restaurants that threw this shindig today. As you can see, meat is kind of a big deal with these guys

Now that is the way to do up a charity function. Of course it helps when meat is the main course and fire is the source of heat. Great event and cause. To be so lucky!
Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Ha ha- just realized the guys who own Pitmaker were behind us in line for Franklin brisket (in the pitmaker shirts). Their rigs were very well represented at this event.
Also- Dickies was repped hard at this event. may need to talk to the PR team about a sponsorship next year. These are my people. They cook my food and wear my stuff...because they choose to. Fun day for meKeepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX -
Damn, son. I just got back on the forum after a couple of weeks recovering from a meat overdose. Now this. I need a 12 step program or something.

I'm glad you had a good time.
I did, however, have a jarring realization as we made our way around Southern Smoke. The event was staffed by a combination of rock stars in from out of town (e.g., Franklin, Aaron and Scott, Rodney), big time Houston chefs that combined for their own tent (e.g., HouBBQ Collective with Ryan Pera of Revival/Coltivare and Seth Siegel Gardiner and Terrence Gallivan of Pass & Provisions) and smaller scale local guys helping out the big timers (the Space City Cowboy, the Blood Bros (w/ Robin also spinning tunes on the main stage) and Patrick Feges of Southern Goods).
After a tour of fist bumps from pretty much everyone but the out of towners, I realized that I eat out too much. Time to become closer to my butcher (hi Pete), and more of a stranger to Houston's many purveyors of cooked meat.
Sadly, I say this as we moved down the street from these two places:

I like how we can tell how drunk you were getting based on the increasing blurriness of pics.

FYI, the meat locker is at Underbelly. The chef-owner, Chris Shepherd, organized the event.
We started the day at Ritual, which had a meat locker at well, but was focused on dry aging rather than curing. They also serve a great Bloody Mary.

Nice. Looks like they stepped it up a few notches from last year even (which was also a great event).
20stone , definitely get closer to your butcher. We all stand to benefit#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

On a serious note, looks like a heck of a good time and some great grub to boot. Awesome post fellows.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
