loveland loves bar-b-que

Well, the feast of the RAGBRAI is coming soon! Gotta bike out to the nearest porkfest to train…

Wow! Loveland LOVES BBQ! Who would’a thunk?

… It’s a rib-fest sponsored by the local medical facility!

and you buy food using these “Pork’er Chips”; OK, the pork puns are a RAGBRAI tradition! I’m used to that.

Oops? Who are these guys? They won 3rd place last year.

Hey! Morrison is where Red Rocks is located. Bob’s logo features a nice happy pig ready to be eaten!

… this is Biggins; He’s a big dude with a big black beard. High heat is the concept in his logo.

Rat BBQ? You gotta be kidding!

Brother Mel was out there tellin’ it like it is: “Come and git yer Fat and Cholesterol RIGHT HERE!”

Not just pork for dinner

I don’t understand this pig eating frog. Actually it’s kind of scary.

Finally a classy looking sign. These guys started in business making BBQ sauce.

These folks feature hot sauce on their ribs.

Never been there. Maybe I’ll try them someday.

Oh! I sampled some of their jerk chicken; It’s NOT!

Bumpa’s offers free delivery to Milliken! MILLIKEN! Someday I’ll do a blog post on Milliken. Not now.

Can you smell CHAIN?

The Peace Pit of Greeley? Why?  Grease Pit?

Funny thing; All of these BBQ places are “Voted #1” someplace at sometime. Nordy’s is a personal favorite and it’s coming to downtown FoCo soon!

Yes, the shrimp bombs were great. Next time I’m at Highlands Ranch I’ll have to stop in!

Funny story: There’s a ChiBi-Q of sorts in Chicago. It’s a support group for crossdressers who have a big BBQ in July. I don’t think this is the same.

Finally a drug reference.

Ha ha, I get it!

There’s a Smokin’ Oh Kies from California, but this team claims to be from Loveland, Co.

From Littleton: “How can you have any Kettle Corn if you don’t eat your pig?”

Hey, these guys sell BBQ implements! WHo let them in?

FYI: I joined the FLYGIRL and TAGALONGS club for this 2010 RAGBRAI. No connection here, just saying.

It’s Q-Pig of Pueblo, Co.

From Florida? I think they won 1st place last year. Still I prefer Nordy’s but to each his own.

This was good training for RAGBRAI. I guess the weather could have been 20 degrees hotter and the humidity maybe 30 times what it is around here. I do feel a Di-gel moment coming on however…
