Hey Guy's,
Thought I would share my story of the Christmas spirit and a fellow Breatheren who came to the rescue.I was asked to do a Chicken cook for 500!:shock: It was a fund raiser for a man who is battling cancer.

All of the chicken was donated. Well the plan was to start cooking by noon. And the story is as follows.
First off, I was told we could get into the hall by noon.
I arrived at 11:00 so I could be set up and ready to help the Troops get organized.
Well around 12:30 we had 15 or so people standing outside with no key to get in.
No chicken and no plan!
About 12:45 we had a key and Frozen chicken on site!!!!!
Started the smoker up. And attacked it the best we could. We had 330 pieces to cook for about 180.
Needless to say we got all feed but were still cooking frozen chicken after the desserts were gone. Ended up throwing away the last 20 pieces and leaving all the rest for the helpers to divi up.
The frozen chicken took about 45-50 mins a batch and we could only get between 60-66 pieces on at a time.
Everone was pleased witht he food-Had 2 say it was undercooked. And returned their plate, They were educated on the Smoke ring and the fact that it was frozen from the start So it left a pinkish color on the meat. But told them of the "Napkin test"
Couple of praises for the Meat_ as we did Head country and an apple BBQ sauce. Most had never had the combination before.
I also need to give a Big Shout out to the 2 guys who came down to help me on this for free, And took the whole day out of there time to do so....
Thank You--
Chris Knight ( The other Half of Mutha Chicken BBQ)
Jon Sibol -- Widespread Pork BBQ Team
So After being dissapointed about the Cook in general, I recieve 2 E-Mails that read as follows.
From The organizer:hi Dan
Wanted to thank you and your team again for your excellent cooking and contribution to the special evening we had last night. It was a incredible success and with your heartfelt effort and that of others we experienced the Christmas spirit at its best. thanks again, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
"Last night I had the pleasure to experience the true meaning of Christmas. Love, Giving and God.
As many of you know I was overseeing a committee that had a fundraising dinner for the Kavelak family to offset expenses due to cancer treatments in Arkansas with a team of nearly 40 volunteers including our own Chef Dan McGrath and a dinner with nearly 230 people. We were able to present the Kavelak family with a check for $15,000 dollars. Praise God.......next to our holidays spent in Haiti, this was another of the most wonderful Christmas season experience's that my family and I will hold close forever. "
From the Wife of the Man we helped:
"There are truly no words that could adequately express our gratitude for the efforts of so many who were involved in the Time4Tim Benefit last night. When we woke up this morning, the enormity of what took place last night was completely overwhelming and heartwarming. We have asked ourselves over the past few months, when we heard about the benefit, if we deserved such an honor, and as I sit here today, I still am not sure. What I do know and what was confirmed to all of us, was the unbelievable kindness and generosity of the human spirit. I believe that in the darkness of our situation, something so pure and good was created. To say thank you seems so understated...what words could we possibly say that could express how touched we are, how honored we are, how fortunate we are and most important of all...how truly blessed we are. You have relieved a financial burden for our family, but more important, you have replenished the human spirit with your kindness, compassion, unending generosity and love. You found a way to bring to the forefront the true meaning of Christmas. Everyone in that room last night saw it and felt it. Know that our hearts are full and you are the reason.
For the committee who worked diligently to pull this event together, please enjoy your holiday. Sit back, relax and take it all in. You deserve it.
And even though thank you seems inadeqate..."Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!"
Happy Holidays!"
Again A Big thank you To Jon from Widespread Pork BBQ :eusa_clap
