Harpoon



It was another great year at Harpoon. Congrats to Feeding Friendz for Grand Champion and Transformer BBQ for Reserve Grand. I was real happy with our 1st place chicken finish. Our pork also did well and ended up in 5th place. The judges did a great job telling us that our ribs were subpar. I couldn't agree more; they were average at best. Our ribs dragged our overall score down to 7th. Not too bad considering the tough field of competitors. For more pics click here.

Victor Returns to New York

Victor the Golden Pig is on his way back to Troy, NY this weekend. This giant pig is the Troy Pig Out's traveling trophy for the Grand Champion. Last year we took those honors but now it's time to bring him back. Victor has had a fun year in the Boston area. So much in fact, he's now a Red Sox fan!

The Beast

This Southern Pride smoker was used last weekend to cook for the Tyler Ride. This thing is a monster. It has a rotisserie, propane assist, convection fan, and it's digitally controlled . We had 30 pork butts and 2 cases of chicken in there and it looked empty! This was donated to the Brookline, NH Fire Department. They use it for all types of charity events like the Tyler Ride. It's great to see people paying it forward.

Lakeside Clam Bake

Kris and I did a clam bake for our friends and family yesterday. On the menu were steamers, little necks, lobsters, shrimp, and kielbasa all in the pot. Cooked separately was corn on the cob and roasted potatoes. The only other ingredients were steam, lemons, and salt; and of course, 3 pounds of drawn butter. We served the entire meal dumped out on a table in the center of our yard. It was great watching everyone crowd around the table and helping themselves. The communal aspect of this meal makes it a lot of fun. Some take a plateful and find a seat and others just graze off the table. Either way, it was a great meal.
