The family and I have made it safely to wild wonderful West Virginia! Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few days.
I've found an interesting tidbit about the BBQ that I thought I'd share. My step-brother, Billy Coleman, is putting on the spread due to Hillbilly's absence this year. I just learned from my step mom that Billy has had some positive mentions in a recent Cigar Aficionado article about Draper's, the top B&M in DC. Here's a link to the article:
Tobacconist Draper's Turns 120.
The excerpt from the article reads:
"The first Friday of each month, Draper's hosts a special event. A recent one had Bill Coleman, of Bill's Backyard BBQ, serving up some excellent pulled pork. (Sidebar: If you haven't had Coleman's BBQ sauce, you are missing out on a uniquely grand experience.)"
So, even though Hillbilly won't be attending this year, we should be in good hands on the food side. :thumbs:
