Pork Barrel BBQ at a Harris Teeter Near You!

Looking to try some Pork Barrel BBQ? We're coming to a local Harris Teeter near you! Harris Teeter has been a huge supporter of our business and has given us the chance to sample our products in their stores in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Its an amazing experience to walk into a Harris Teeter and get to see our products on their shelves, and even more fun when we get to sample our products for their customers. We are going to be in four Virginia stores this weekend, and many more to come in coming weeks! Here are some photos from our product demos over the past few weeks - thanks to Harris Teeter for this tremendous opportunity!

Thanks to All Who Visited Pork Barrel BBQ at Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival!

Thanks so much to all our family and friends who came to visit us at the Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival! We had a great time, and gave out over 1,500 samples of pulled pork with Pork Barrel BBQ's All American Spice Rub. The best compliment of the day came from a BBQ'er of over 40 years, who said he has never purchased a BBQ dry rub (always made his own), but liked ours so much he had to buy a tin! It's moments like that that keep us going - thanks so much! If you want to taste what he is talking about - please be sure to buy a tin of our All American Spice Rub by visiting this link.

Of course, the REAL question is what does a BBQ company do after a long day at a Beer and Bourbon festival? Go for a well deserved drink and some more BBQ of course! Here's Pork Barrel BBQ's President Heath Hall:

Pork Barrel BBQ Launch Party Video

On Sunday, May 31, more than 100 Pork Barrel BBQ fans and supporters showed up at Fort Ward Park in Alexandria, Virginia to celebrate the official launch of Pork Barrel BBQ. Over 150 pounds of pork shoulder, beef brisket and vegetables were smoked and grilled with Pork Barrel BBQ's All American Spice Rub. A big Pork Barrel BBQ thank you to everyone who showed up to show their support - we couldn't be doing what we are doing without your support and advice.

At the end of the picnic we were able to donate several trays of pork shoulder, pickles, potato chips and several watermelons to the Carpenters Shelter in Alexandria, Virginia.

Pork Barrel BBQ Was a Donor at the 2009 Taste of the South Charity Gala Held in Washington, DC on May 16


On Saturday, May 16 Pork Barrel BBQ donated our Pork Barrel BBQ All American Dry Rub to the 27th annual Taste of the South charity gala held at the D.C. Armory in Washington, D.C. (We were very excited to see our name just to the right of one of our favorite BBQ joints - Gates BBQ from Kansas City, MO.) This year's featured charity was the Magnolia Speech School of Mississippi, a private, nonprofit, oral education program for children with hearing loss and language disorders. Additionally, a small portion of the funds raised went to Jubilee Jobs, a Washington, D.C. based charity that provides support for disadvantaged job-seekers in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.



Taste of the South was a great time for all that attended, even though it felt like it was 100 degrees inside the D.C. Armory. We are already looking forward to next years Taste of the South and the chance to help some worthy charities.

In addition to giving back to the community Pork Barrel BBQ used this opportunity to unveil our new label on the sample bags of our All American Spice Rub. Here's what they look like up close. Let us know what you think of the new look and don't forget to visit us www.porkbarrelbbq.com!

Pork Barrel BBQ Is Donor To The 2009 Taste of the South Charity Gala Being Held in Washington, DC on May 16

At Pork Barrel BBQ we believe it is important to be involved in and give back to the local community and we are pleased to announce that we will be a donor at the 27th annual Taste of the South to be held at the D.C. Armory in Washington, D.C. on the evening of Saturday, May 16, 2009. Pork Barrel BBQ will be providing sample bags of our All American Spice Rub to those who visit the Missouri booth at this years gala.

The first Taste of the South was held in 1983 in an effort to share the rich tradition of the South with the residents of the Washington, D.C. region. States participating in Taste of the South include Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

All proceeds raised by the event go to a southern based charity. This year's featured charity is the Magnolia Speech School of Mississippi. For more than 50 years, the Magnolia Speech School, a private, nonprofit, oral education program for children with hearing loss and language disorders, has provided children with life-changing curricula that has enabled each student to reach their potential. A small portion of the funds raised this year will go to Jubilee Jobs, a Washington, D.C. based charity that provides support for disadvantaged job-seekers throughout the DC metropolitan area.
