Visiting Brethren

[jeffjenkins1]

Had the chance to go to the LA area so I had to stop and talk with some of the Brethren! I went to visit BigMista Neil Strawder and his crew at the farmers market. After a slight detour to the wrong farmers market :doh:, I finally met up with Neil.

And Olivia:

The food was great and here is what was left of the sampler before I could get the camera out!

After meeting Neil, I actually drove to Steph's, Simply Marvelous BBQ himself, house!

Steph made comp ribs and got me thinking about competing myself!

All in all it was a great time with some great Brethren and great Que!

Well you have been a busy guy while in California. Pretty much did the whole state. See you Wednesday!

 

[landarc]

He hasn't done Santa Rosa and Russian River Brewing, which is too bad really.

 

[martyleach]

True, but a good reason to come back!

 

[DaveMW]

What a great trip! Thanks for posting!

 

[Phubar]

I'm not jealous at all!

 

[Garyclaw]

Pretty cool Jeff and..........^^^what Phu said.:-D

 

[Big George's BBQ]

Wow you had a really great trip

 

[Ron_L]

Big Mista and Steph are great guys (Don't tell them that I said that, it'll just go to their heads )

Watch out for that Northern California bunch, however

 

[jeffjenkins1]

Thanks everyone, and yes, since I have to come out once every six months I will be back for Russian River!

The guys were great, and I can't wait to meet the Bay area Brethren!

Ron, Ron, Ron, you have only seen us at our most cordial and best behavior. Now, if you want to see us with a fire blazing into the night, messing with a pellet gun, as a keg dies a hard death, two might have died, not sure, you want to join us for a Marty Leach backyard bash. And thats all I am gonna say about that. I don't remember much more.

Always great when Brethren pay a visit. Jeff and I talked Q for a few hours.

Watch out for that Northern California bunch, however

Not to mention the Carolinian of the group...:wacko:

 

[SirPorkaLot]

Not to mention the Carolinian of the group...:wacko:

Someone has to keep this bunch straight out here, otherwise they would be smoking asparagus and avocados and calling it BBQ.

 

[Ryan Chester]

Sounds like you had a good trip. They are definitely some cool dudes.
