A sneak peek at Ubon's pork shoulders.
The master, Big "Brain" Campbell perfecting his craft. . .
Let's take a closer look at those shoulders. . .
A funny side note:
Brain and the gang from Ubon's traveled to New York City a couple of years ago and befriended a handful of fellows who have become advocates and addicts of the Memphis in May BBQ festival. I met them last year and even though their names escape me although the guy with the "popped" collar will not, it turns out that the fellows have entered in this year's competition. Being the good New York fellows they are and Jewish gentlemen on top of that, what else would good New York Jewish gentlemen do but enter a cooking competition that focuses solely on pork.
Such sweet irony.
And their team name I hear you ask?
Jubons!
that last picture is just right.
between charred pork and lynyrd skynyrd, this is pure art.
reminds me of my sister's wedding.
pig picking and guitar pull.
just when i thought it couldn't get any more southern,
i heard the photographer say
"now turn to the left. now turn to the right. hold the numbers up."
the new york jubon's team is made up of: david rosen, adam rosen, brian jay and bob-o livingston!!!! we were just in memphis for the 2009 competition and won 4th place in patio porkers.
