This Sunday is the Memphis Farmers Market’s annual fall party, Farm Fest at Loflin Yard. The food at Farmers Market parties is always tantalizingly scrumptious, prepared by local vendors as well as by some of the best restaurants in town. The Farmers Market has released a list of who will be serving and oh boy, does this ever sound good. Trolley Stop Market, Mosa Asian Bistro, The Farmer, Central BBQ and Amerigo Italian Restaurant.
Wait a minute, I think I may have left somebody out.
Hmmm… I see I need to re-write a part of a sentence in that first paragraph.
“… prepared by local vendors as well as some of the best restaurants and BBQ teams in town.”
That’s right folks… THE MOODY QUES will be cooking!!!!!
It makes perfect sense. Our pitmasters Frank and Erik are both on the Board of the Memphis Farmers Market, and Frank is a past president. What an opportunity to get some practice in on the new cooker (still unnamed after more than a year, by the way) while supporting a nonprofit that is one of our very favorites!
If anyone attending Farm Fest is a certified BBQ judge, we would love for you to come by and tell us what you thought of the food. Heck, everyone is invited to come tell us what you thought! We’ll take all the feedback we can get!
Now, I must admit that last year at the fall party, I tended to hide behind the cooker and not really get around and mingle, other than brief trips to the beer stand. This year will be different. I’m gonna be social! I know some of my friends on Squeal Street BBQ are going to Farm Fest, and I hope to spend a good bit of time chatting with them. Most likely I will be complimenting them on their excellent performance at BreakFest the day before!
Tickets are only $40 in advance, and include not only the food, but great craft beer as well as live music by Star & Micey. Seriously, why would you not go to this?
