The Pit Crew's First Event!


Ryun and Barry's little barbecue company had its first event, the King of the Grill sponsored by Sarasota Fireplace and Barbecue store. Ryun and Barry, donning brand new Pit Crew shirts and aprons, made up some Pulled Pork Pizza and handed out samples, while Heather (Barry's wife) and I manned the lunch table with pulled pork sandwiches and our famous Macaroni Salad. I can now officially pass you on to our website, http://www.pitcrew-bbq.com/. I quickly wrote up the web content and Friday night Ryun's mom was great about getting it on the site ready for Saturday. Ryun and Barry also had a record number of parties this weekend, I think it came to 5 total with the average of about 40 people. They even pulled an all nighter (well, Ryun stayed at Barry's house and they kept the pork going all night to get it done) Friday night. Saturday was a great success, I made sure to mention the pork being slow cooked for 16 hrs and that the Macaroni salad was better than they would think. I encouraged some to try it when they refused, and at least 3 came back to say they liked it! Ryun and Barry made great contacts as well for up coming parties and handed out quite a few business cards and menus. The biggest compliment I heard was a number of people asking where the Pit Crew's location was, assuming we were a restaurant. Ryun felt proud that non-macaroni salad lovers liked the Mac salad. Kudos to Mark for coming up with that recipe and we feel proud that we keep that recipe in the family! It was a hot but great day and we anticipate lots more business because of it. Now GO visit the website!
