Jan from Branchville NJ writes to tell us about Hot Rods Real Pit BBQ in Wharton NJ.  Jan says

“My wife and I have eaten there a number of times and the food and service are both excellent. They have baked beans to die for and of course their ribs and pulled pork are great - the sauce they use is unusual but we both like it very much - it is vinegar based. The various meals are priced about the same as other places we have been to and their hours are right for everyone.”

And finally we get an email from someone in TN about two bbq joints with a little bit of a rivaly between them. Neither one has a website but one has some really go reviews on Roadfood.com. 

“Ridgewood BBQ
900 Elizabethton Hghwy
Bluff City, TN 37618
423-538-7543

No website but VERY famous. Check out reviews posted on other sites (Roadfood.com)

Pardner’s BBQ (off-shoot of Ridgewood via a family feud and IMHO better tasting)

544 Hghwy 11E
Piney Flats, TN 37618
423-538-5539″

Richard from Norwall MA sends us a link to add to our hot sauces page for Dirty Dicks Hot Sauce 

Laura from Alto Travel and Event Management sends us a link to the City of Kennesaw’s 2008 Pigs & Peaches BBQ Festival on Friday & Saturday, August 8-9

We love emails like these at BBQ-Festivals.com  If anyone finds themselves in TN and can hit these two feuding bbq place please take some photos and send us a review…….

Have a great Q day…………eric

That’s right……… don’t need no fancy restaurant.  Take a look at this photo. I took this on Saturday in the parking lot of Marketplace Grocery Store in Madisonville KY.  Every weekend and often times during the week this guy is there with his smoker, a couple tables to work on and a tent top.  And look at the line!!!!  It is always like that.  And his barbecue is excellent ………..  Not like a slick bbq restaurant we have here in town who shall remain nameless……..  they have bbq that tastes like dried cardboard.  That’s another story though.

So if you are in Madisonville KY sometime and you need some good barbecue, be sure to head on down to Marketplace on South Main street and stand in line for a while.  It’s worth the wait.

We received and email yesterday from John in the Cincinnati about a bbq restaurant that we did not have on our list.  Jim Dandy’s Family BBQ is located in Sharonville Ohio near Cincinnati.  Jim says “There is an excellent and true BBQ restaurant which has been around for over five  years here in the Cincinnati area”.  I like the way he describes the place. How many times have you heard a bbq joint described as excellent and true.

If anyone else is in that area be sure to stop in and have some bbq and send us a review……..

Thanks John for the info……… Visit our bbq restaurant listings for more places to enjoy barbecue …………

Steve from the Park Avenue Pork Barbeque Competition Team in Kansas City writes to BBQ-Festivals.com saying “Can’t belive you’d call this a reference page of BBQ Competitions and Festivals without having the grand daddy of all BBQ competitions on the list”.

Well Steve…….  there you go……….  We have added the 29th Annual American Royal Barbecue in Kansas City slated for October 2-5, 2008 to our competition listings page.  We have also added the Park Avenue Pork Barbeque Competition Team to our bbq teams page.

Thank you Steve for the info………….much appreciated.
