Pulled Pork and a Loaded Potato Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf you are a fan of barbecued food, this event is certainly for you. With choices that include leg of lamb, ribs, chicken, brisket, pork belly, whole hog, pork chops, and lamb ribs, there are options for every type of food lover. It wasn’t just about the meat, though, as there were side dishes that include baked beans, potato salad, carrot and raisin salad, bloody Mary salad, and, of course, coleslaw. To be clear, although we tasted just about everything that there was, we certainly did not sit down and eat full portions from each of the food stations. Even with just tasting small samples from each of the pit masters, we still had more than enough food to make us full.<\/p>\nDifferent Bands Throughout the Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTender Beef Brisket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nServing the Large Crowds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMini-Taco<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nChicken Wing and Coleslaw<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe think that beer pairs really well with barbeque, but there were many options available to drink. From mixed drinks made with Jack Daniel’s whiskey and Tito’s vodka to make margaritas, as well as non-alcoholic drinks, no one was going thirsty. It was a hot day, so an ice-cold beer certainly hit the spot and we chose to have a Colorado Lager from Odell’s Brewery. The festival took place in the parking lot of Mile High Stadium and it was certainly a very popular event.<\/p>\nIce-Cold Beer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSausage and Brisket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nGetting the Food Out<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLooking Out Over the Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nRibs with a Dry Rub and a Sauce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIt is hard to choose a favorite with all of the different dishes that we tried, but there was a beef brisket from Pappy’s Smokehouse that was so tender that it fell apart. The leg of lamb from Sugar Fire Smokehouse was also wonderful. The pork belly from Joe’s KC BBQ was one of the first things that we tasted and also one of our favorites. And finally, the ribs from Peg Leg Porker BBQ were definitely worth eating again and again. That doesn’t mean that we didn’t enjoy everything that we tried, including those from Salt Lick BBQ, GQue BBQ, The Shed, Ubon’s BBQ, Memphis BBQ, and Jean-Paul Bougeois.<\/p>\nLamb Ribs and Carrots and Raisins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPeople Lining Up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nChicken and Bloody Mary Salad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSalmon, Slaw, and Guacamole<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nPork Belly and Pork Rinds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe will definitely put this on our calendar for next year. There isn’t a better way to spend a summer afternoon than eating delicious barbeque, drinking a beer, listening to music, and getting grilling advice from the experts. The Denver BBQ Festival is certainly an event that is fun for the whole family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
