We are Throwing an All Night Party at SAFRE in Raleigh…Be there!

Maybe you haven’t heard how Willie Wines Jr. is the 5-time high school corn-hole champion…and he didn’t pass the 10th grade… AND maybe you haven’t heard how Anthony Bourdain stopped by my house without a reservation… AND maybe you haven’t heard how WE created Carolina Barbecue by accident while playing shuffleboard on an aircraft carrier in the middle of a hurricane while getting a pedicure and drinking raw eggs.

Meet our smoker....we will call her Shirley!

Meet our smoker….we will call her Shirley!

Maybe you haven’t heard of any of that…but hear this…

We are heading to Raleigh on Thursday to throw a party during the BBQ Throwdown Cookoff at the South Atlantic Fire Rescue Expo (SAFRE). The party starts at 7pm, but we will be there around 3. We will be partying until the morning. Yes, we are pulling an all-nighter while we prepare some of the most succulence pulled pork the Carolina’s have ever seen.

The best part…Everyone is invited!

The event will be held downtown Raleigh. Captain Wines and I will have food, beer, and much more for our Brothers.

Willie is bringing the camper, I am bringing the smoker.

We have every intention of winning it all…pulled pork, ribs, best booth, AND the corn-hole tournament.

Yeah, these Virginia boys are bringing it!
