Happy Valentine’s Day
Posted on February 12, 2010 by Porky LeSwine
I have been saving this classic Canadian ad from the Saskatchewan Pork Council for just the right moment. With Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, now is that moment… The obvious question is, “Do they have double entendres in Canada?” I’ll let our legions of Canadian readers write in to answer that question. At any rate, [...]

Porky’s Pulpit: Worst BBQ Graphic Ever?
Posted on July 10, 2009 by Porky LeSwine
I recently visited Blue Mist Bar-B-Q and, though I enjoyed my meal, I can’t help but point out the absolutely abysmal logo featured on their menu. I have seen a lot of barbecue joint logos over the years, and this is hooves-down the worst. The tuxedoed pig looks like it was drawn by someone without [...]

Porky’s Pulpit: Sign of the Apocalypse
Posted on April 29, 2009 by Porky LeSwine

Rabbi’s Raves: Barbecue Rhymes
Posted on March 27, 2009 by The Rib Rabbi
Check out this classic sign from Austin, Texas: Seeing this sign scared the hush puppies out of me. What if I couldn’t eat barbecue one day due to dental issues? I know, I know–it’s too dark a fate to even contemplate. Nevertheless, my next thought was: who’s the closest dentist to Allen & Son? Mostly, [...]

Rabbi’s Rant: Danny’s
Posted on March 18, 2009 by The Rib Rabbi
There’s plenty to say about this sign from Danny’s Bar-B-Que, but not much to like. Hence, some good natured ribbing: First off, claiming to have the “Best BBQ in Cary” might just be the most backhanded compliment in the history of mankind. For those not in the know or the state, Cary is our much-maligned [...]
