Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

With football season just about to kickoff let Pork Barrel BBQ help you get ready for this fall’s tailgating season with our Pork Barrel BBQ Guide To Tailgating!

Where has the summer gone? It is hard to believe that the college and NFL football seasons begin in just a few weeks – I’m heading to my first game of the season this Friday night in Baltimore where I’ll catch my hometown team, the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Baltimore Ravens in a preseason game. The only thing better than the kickoff of the 2011 season will be the tailgate parties going on from coast to coast this fall!

Pork Barrel BBQ is proud to offer BBQ and football fans across the nation a copy of our inaugural cookbook, the Pork Barrel BBQ Guide To Tailgating. Our guide to tailgating is filled with award winning recipes and grilling tips that will ensure your next tailgate party gets you inducted into the Tailgating Hall of Fame!!

We are offering the Pork Barrel BBQ Guide to Tailgating FREE of charge during these economically difficult days as a way of saying “Thank You” for helping us go from a company that was selling sauce out of our houses and online at  to one that now sells our BBQ Sauces and Spice Rub in over 1,500 stores in 40 states.
