Plowboys BBQ Porkapolooza

Plowboy · 10-27-2007, 08:20 PM

Just sent out an email to a big list of people announcing our first ever Porkapolooza. Hoping to pre-sell pulled pork by the lb. Minimum is 3 lbs. Special event price is $6.50. This will be mostly pickup but will do some delivery on a limited basis. They can get it hot, cold, or frozen.

With pork butts selling at $.95 from Sam's Club, now is the time. Hope it goes well. If it does, we'll do ribs & brisket another time. Will let you know how it goes and post pictures.

Good luck Todd! Is this going to be a one-day event? Great idea though - if I ever jump into the catering game down the road - this would be a great way to get the word out the new venture.

Good luck with it Todd!

I imagine, it will be a four day event starting cooking on Thursday and running through Sunday... depending on when people want food. Pickup will be available Friday through Sunday. We'll see what orders we get. I already know that there is interest. We'll go through one case of butts for sure, but I'm hoping to sell a half dozen cases of butts.

Gotcha. Hope you're busy enough to keep that FEC going for four days straight. Make sure to take some pics for us!

Where are you advertising this, and are you cooking at home or at a Blue Springs business location?

Just spreading the word among friends and people I know.

What would the price of delivery be to Warsaw area. Just cut some fresh wild cherry today (bribe mod).

Wild cherry pellets?

SloppyQ · 10-27-2007, 10:52 PM

Business Venture?

KC_Bobby · 10-27-2007, 11:40 PM

I'd be happy to take some of that cherry off your hands if you can't handle it all. Want some black oak in trade?

So, how's Porkapolooza going?

Broke into the second case of butts today. So far, looks like I'll go through a case and a half of butts, but we are still getting a few calls. Lots of future interest in doing this again. Many are anxious for brisket and ribs. Probably do a brisket weekend after thanksgiving.

Figure this will cover about half of my first truck payment. If I can do this once a month, it should cover payments on my BBQ trailer when I order it.
