Christmas is coming and the goose is getting...well, you know...waistline challenged.
THINK SMOKE
By George Hensler
Who are those guys? BBQ Team
ghensler@aol.com
I can hardly believe it. Christmas 2011 is just about upon us. As this much-anticipated season approaches, one can almost say that we have had enough, even before the fat man slides down the chimney on December 25th. It seems the overly ambitious retailers in a continuing struggle to beat their competition to the punch have completely thrown the old-fashioned notion that the holiday season begins after Thanksgiving to the wind. I think it was the middle of October when I saw my first Christmas commercial on TV, and it has only gotten worse. I heard the other day that one of the big box stores plans to open for their Black Friday sale starting on Thanksgiving Day. My question is why bother closing at all, just give the employees 25 minutes sometime on Turkey Day to shovel down their family dinners and keep on selling. That’s what it is all about anyway, right? Wrong. I feel bad for those who will have to work to accommodate this madness and hope someday soon that retailers will come to their senses, but this is a philosophical discussion better saved for the editorial pages or the funny papers — you decide.(...Read More) |

Smok’n Pig shirts featured in Footloose
When Footloose costume designer Laura Jean Shannon went looking for BBQ shirts to feature in the 2011 blockbuster, she couldn’t find any in the Atlanta, GA, area where the movie was filmed with enough character to pop off the screen. Valdosta, Georgia’s Smok’n Pig heard about the dilemma and sent samples of their T-shirts up to Atlanta for Laura to review. The rest is cinema history.
Two of Smok’n Pig’s shirts are featured in the film and one is even pictured on the film’s poster, Pig’s “No Wake Zone” shirt design. Thousands of BBQ lovers who have visited Smok’n Pig for their delectable que have walked out the door not only with satisfied appetites, but also with one of their awesome T-shirts. It’s an honor for Smok’n Pig to be a part of such a blockbuster cinematic hit.
Footloose opened in theaters October 14, 2011, and stars Kenny Warmold as city kid Ren MacCormack who moves to a small town where rock ‘n’ roll and dancing have been banned. His rebellious spirit shakes up the populance and catches the attention of Ariel Moore, played by Julianne Hough, as well as her father, Rev. Shaw Moore, played by Dennis Quaid. To view the movie’s trailer, visit www.footloosemovie.com.

If the neon pig in the window is lit, Tiny’s Bar-B-Que is open. |
Earlier this year, I had announced that I was not going to be writing for a while because barbeque had consumed my life in the form of competing, catering, and vending at competitions. Well, folks, we’ve gone a step further by opening a BBQ joint.
Tiny’s Bar-B-Que opened at 2610 Eagle Valley Road in Mill Hall, PA, on October 14th of this year. Tiny, Kristal, and I followed our dream and went for it, but it sure wasn’t the easiest thing we’ve ever done. After months of trials and tribulations and dealing with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), we finally got the official go ahead to open the doors. (...Read More) |
