    I swung through the Pig Out for lunch on Saturday. I hit the Capital Q truck three different times. Just awesome pulled pork and brisket/burnt ends sandwiches.

    Looks like a travelling smoke show. I wasn’t there…any locals entered?

    With the exception of Yanni’s….these are competition barbeque teams, not restaurants. :)

    My family and I got really ill from the PigOut this year. Disappointing!

    Hello….what about local bbq?

    I purchased 25 tickets for a few friends and I and we could not use any. Although it was reported that 10,000 ribs were donated and only 9,000 rib tickets were to be issued, there seemed to be a very long line to get a refund. It was actually quite disappointing of an event.

    I also swung by to have a sample and was rather disappointed at the lack of organization and lines. Hope to see these competitors and winners at the Mainely Grillin’ and Chillin’ BBQ Festival in Eliot, ME August 12-14 at the Raitt Homestead Farm.

    i would love to have gone, but when i read that you needed to get there really early and that tickets would sell out within 10 minutes, i changed my mind. there has got to be a better way to run the festival than this. i also have the same problem with their chowder fest.

    This was truly a horrible experience for myself and others who fell for this ruse once again- for the fourth year in a row. every year it’s the same situation. We purchase tickets, yet end up trying desperately to get refunds due to the lack of food, organization and truly bad service and rudeness.
    In the beginning this was going to be a local event, yet it turned into reality TV show for BBQ fanatics. I would not be surprised if someone at city hall was lining their pockets somehow with this event.

    FOUR years in a row?? Fool me once….

    # 11, 12: I see your point and point well taken. You would hope, though, that things would be different as time progresses. So, go ahead. Call be insane. INSANE FOR GOOD BBQ!
