Too much pork for one fork? We'll just see about that

Weather got you down today bunky? Well this storm is supposed to pull out of here early tomorrow morning leaving us with temperatures in the low to mid 70's which is perfect for this weekend's Big Apple Barbecue in Madison Square Park. The top pitmasters from all over these United States will be bringing their special rubs and sauces and cooking it all up for you. Hit that website up above for more info. The fabulous Marcia Ball will be performing on stage Saturday at 4:30 which is well worth the FREE price of admission (gulping pigs extra). Come one come all and leave no fingers unlicked!

There's not a better Saturday afternoon in June than the Big Apple Barbecue and Block Party

What a grand Saturday afternoon in New York. The Big Apple Barbecue and Block Party is one of those wonderful events Johnny looks forward to each year like pork Christmas. Again it does not disappoint.

A few pictures from around Madison Square Park and a video from Southern Culture on the Skids performing 8 Piece Box. It answers the question what happens if you invite dancers from the audience up on stage and give them each a piece of fried chicken.

Since I'll Have Another is unable to run in today's Belmont Stakes...

...and every phone message at Belmont Park today is "No refunds" we thought we'd give everyone a real thrill in the most famousest of Belmont Stakes, the one run to absolute perfection 39 years ago.


Big Apple Barbecue and Block Party And Devils vs Kings coverage tonight.
