well, here it is. the final video of the final day of Meat Week 2012 in Los Angeles. this doesn't even come close to portraying how fun the whole day was. for instance, the whole portion of the night where we fried everything we could get our hands on was too dark to see.
anyway, enjoy these glimpses of the beautiful afternoon we used to smoke homemade sausages, eat bacon-laden desserts, and host the first-ever Meat Week talent show!
Meat Week 2012, you will be sorely missed. assuming the world doesn't end, we'll be waiting for 2013 with arms wide open. thanks to everyone who made this year awesome. Meat Week Honors and Best Ofs will be up soon!
on Saturday we journeyed all the way to Bellflower to visit Hambone's BBQ & Po'Boy Sandwiches. we had no idea what to expect, but man was it worth the drive! it would be worth twice the drive for their cobbler, excellent pulled pork, and...well everything else on their menu. they even played some slow jamz for us while we basked in the afternoon sun.
after a couple of days away from editing duty (2 full days of Meat Week events, of course) we're back with another video! this one is from Friday night at Mom's BBQ House. they are kind enough to open up their storage facility and let us bring in tables and chairs so we can all fit. it was a great night with a lot of Mom's famous mac n'cheese.
now it's time to line dance off some of that pork!
now you, too, can have the powers of high-tech video productions in your hands, when you master the state-of-the-art MeatCam2000. just watch this informational video, shot on-location at Huston's Texas Pit BBQ.
our high-tech modifications (strapping on a headlamp) to the MeatCam2000 didn't work quite as well as expected, so it's back to the lab for us. the food truck, Smokin' Willies, however, was a huge success! most people made second trips through the line for pulled pork tacos, tri-tip, meatballs and more. Willie himself even gave an informational speech about BBQ! the guys were so friendly and fun, we'll definitely be doing this again.
ahhh, Kansas City BBQ Company. if only their lighting was as amazing as their food. the MeatCam2000 is getting an upgrade tonight, so tomorrow's footage will look better. in the meantime, have fun trying to decipher your friends' faces!
phew! just in time to head to tonight's meating, here is the video we crapped out for Los Angeles Meat Week 2012 DAY ONE! it's barely a video, but please enjoy it anyway.
these videos will get better, i promise. let's have a hand for the state-of-the-art MEATCAM2000!
last night's first Meating in Los Angeles was a big success at our olden friend's place, The Original Texas BBQ King. this year we have an honorary new member of the Meat Team. say hello to the MEAT CAM 2000!
we're passing this baby around the table to get all the sticky-fingered footage we can this week. soon you'll start to see the videos rollin' out, so check back for those.
in the meattime, LET'S GET DOWN ON SOME BBQ. day 2 here we come!
