Happy BBQ Jew Year 2012
Posted on January 2, 2012 by Porky LeSwine

Happy Thanksgiving
Posted on November 24, 2011 by Porky LeSwine
Earlier this week I said I’d complete my virtual trip to Wilson by week’s end with a review of Bill Ellis Barbecue. How wrong I was. I’d somehow forgotten about Thanksgiving. Out of respect for the Pilgrims, the Indians and all you hard working turkeys out there, I’ll save the Bill Ellis Barbecue post for next week. [...]

Yum Yum on Yom Kippur
Posted on October 7, 2011 by Porky LeSwine

Yom Kippur is an intense holiday, even by Jewish standards, and all that intensity can make a brother from the Tribe quite [...]

Porky’s Pulpit: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Barbecue
Posted on May 30, 2011 by Porky LeSwine
Today is Memorial Day, a day set aside to remember fallen military heroes who gave their lives trying to protect the American way of life (and to find great deals on new cars, household goods, and other manifestations of consumerism runk amok, ahem, the American way of life). Yet despite the heroic efforts of generations of brave [...]
