Pork Barrel BBQ Wins the Taste of Del Ray 2009 Peoples Choice Award
We are proud to announce that last night Pork Barrel BBQ won the Del Ray Business Association's Taste of Del Ray People's Choice Award. The Taste of Del Ray brings restaurants throughout the Del Ray Neighborhood in Alexandria, Virginia, together to provide samples of their food - we gave out over 400 servings of our award winning pulled pork sandwiches and Mango Mike's bourbon bread pudding. The Pork Barrel BBQ Restaurant is currently under construction and will open next spring on Mt. Vernon Avenue next to St. Elmo's Coffee Pub and The Dairy Godmother.
We'd like to give special thanks to the Del Ray Business Association and Gayle Reuter for hosting such a great evening, Mary Abraham and Eric Reid of Del Merei Grill for organizing the event, Christie Hart and Executive Chef Will Artley from the Evening Star Cafe for showing us the ropes (this was their 11th year!), and Sheriff Dana Lawhorne for keeping us all safe (see below)!

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.

Steve can be quite the character and is a lot of fun to talk to (As you can see from the photo!) and has an amazing selection of natural and organic meats - including beef, lamb, pork, chicken and even (coming soon) kangaroo!! He lived in Australia for almost 20 years and sells hamburgers and hot dogs from Greg Norman, a famous Australian golfer. As you can imagine, these items are a big hit with local golfers.
