A couple weekends ago, the BBQ Addicts crew ventured to Des Moines, IA for the second annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. I’ve just got one word for this event: Awesome! Well, two words: Awesome Bacon! Approximately 300 bacon fanatics came to the event and Brooks Reynolds (one of the Bacon Overlords of the event) invited us up to cook 30 or so Bacon Explosions for the crowd.

Now that we’ve shippped mountains of Plowboy’s award winning rub all over this great country continent, it’s time we hook a few people up with some of their classy logo t’s. We’ve consulted our favorite random number generator at RANDOM.ORG to select the winners from among the comments posted on the inaugural version of The Monthly Rubdown. But before we announce the winners, we need to let you in on a little secret. Instead of a t-shirt, one lucky person is walking away with a free shaker of Bovine Bold!

Every year around the holidays my family gets together for some warm holiday cheer, cold adult beverages, and a touch of innocent gambling. I know that sounds worse than it actually is, but the truth of the matter is that board games just lose their luster over the years. The only true way to keep game night fun and fresh is to lay a few bucks on the line and make Grandma earn her keep.
Left, Right, Center has been a yuletide staple for many years now, but this go around we added a new “dice” game to the lineup. Okay, right about now you’re probably asking yourself “What the hell does this have to do with barbecue?” Well my friend, this game has all the thrills of a back alley craps circle, but instead of using those grimey white cubes, you’ll be tossing tiny delicious little piggies. Yes, that’s right….Pig Craps.

Did we forget to mention that these dirty little piggies often find themselves in compromising postions?!?!
