Saturday was a beautiful day for the The City Beer Hall’s annual Bacon Fest. Perfect for sitting on the patio, catching up with friends, enjoying some cocktails, eating some pig and cooling down with some Nine Pin Cider. Let’s take a look at the food porn.

Pig Out 2014 | Troy, NY
I’ve been meaning to head to this for the past couple of years but scheduling conflicts have always kept me away. Luckily Sunday I had the chance to head down to Riverfront Park to check out this area’s biggest celebration of swine: the Annual Pig Out.
Little Sunday night grillin’
Looks like I’m all set to grill some pizza this summer!
Happy early birthday to me. :) Elise got me the KettlePizza a few months early (my birthday is in late August) so we have the whole summer to enjoy some coal and wood fired pizzas. Let the KettlePizza and Baking Steel hacks begin!
BT’s Smokehouse Brisket Rueben
Little nourishment before heading over the Brimfield Town Hall to support Tree House Brewing Co.!
I Said What What In the Butt.
A shot from this weekend’s pork butt, after an overnight of brining and a good rub down. I hope you now have this song stuck in your head the rest of the day.

Weber Silver to Weber Gold Upgrade
So yesterday my big shipment from Weber Grills came in and I pretty much immediately got to work tearing the grill apart and putting some elbow grease into making it look like new again.

Nothing like coming home to a “small” shipment from Weber
I’ll be upgrading the found-on-the-side-of-the-street $20 Weber grill from Silver to Gold, while replacing some of the old nasty rusted out grates and replacing some missing pieces to the ash catcher. Before and after pics to come!
