Long Lines, but Good Times: The Big Apple BBQ
Monday, June 13th, 2005
Brian and Tyler and I partook of this year’s Big Apple BBQ. (Flickr photos.) As expected, the lines were HUGE, but it didn’t stop us from sampling foods from four of the purveyors (I couldn’t quite finish the fourth serving, but not because it wasn’t tasty — you just can’t say no to whole hog).
The lines, while long, moved relatively quickly — I think the longest we waited was about 40 minutes. I’d heard horror stories of 2-hour waits; we hit the right lines at the right times, I guess. Plus, we all waited in separate lines so when we had food, we had a good amount of food. Except for Tyler, who was sent to get beer, but then found he couldn’t leave the beer garden with it., so he had to drink them all. Sure, Tyler.
