2 Vegetarians and Some Flaming Pig
My wife and I stumbled upon the Akron Rib Fest on our way to the Lock 3 Farmer's Market. All we wanted was a red tomato and some fresh zucchini. Instead, we got nostrils full of red BBQ sauce and freshly burning pig flesh. Despite the floating aroma, the atmosphere proved quite entertaining. Each "ribber" displays its deserved BBQ contest trophies. Instead of golden baseball players standing tall atop these trophies, plastic pigs decorate the awards. Lines of ribs lay across burning grills waiting to be basted with thick rib sauce. Mmmmm. But my favorite is all of the happy pigs who willfully present the menus, sharing the prices of their spiced body parts with the customers.

Greg,
Tender baby back ribs done right beats zucchini ANYTIME!!!
Can you send me some of the roasted pig? I am cool on zucchini.
I knew I'd get this slack. I might as well have just declared myself a No Doubt fan.
No doubt fans are tolerable... A better analogy is needed..
Bacon is gooood. Porkchops are gooood.
And ribs just kick ass!
Dave Matthews Band?
I was thinking Nickelback..
Anonymous. That is so funny. I seriously debated Nickelback. I only chose Dave Matthews Band in the hopes that you were a fan and we could keep the argument going. You've gained my complete respect.
I second Nickelback.
I dont like Gregs attitude.
so pretentious typical of militant vegetarians
If your hearing is very good, you can hear the screams coming from ears of corn as their husks are violently torn off and then callously tossed into boiling water.
Vegetarians are good. They leave more flaming pig for me.
Why do they boast about the pig, do us a favor, don't remind us.
If god didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them out of meat!
I love Sarah Palin too!
I know this isn't a very original thought, but my diet would change dramatically if I had to go get the meat that I eat. I think about standing in a field looking at a cow that is eating some grass. I'm the last man on earth. I'm sort of hungry. Am I going to go get a steak out of that thing over there on my own? Probably not. If I did try, how long would it take me to even bring the thing down let alone start searching around for the cut I'm looking for? Would it take me a day? A week? I'm not even sure even where to look. All I know is it might be somewhere in the back half. I buy Pumpkin Pies because Pumpkins are too much work. I can't imagine having to retrieve a steak or ribs.
Hamburger fest this weekend!
Kyle, I do know that you can eat a cow's tongue. I think that'd be an easy piece to obtain. Just run up to the cow, reach in its mouth and tug. Presto! Lunch!
Kyle, just download the cow killing/carving app to your iphone...
I think the Donner Party proved that if you get hungry enough, you'll eat anything.
I thought readers of The Chief Source Photography blog would be interested in seeing an event through the eyes of someone else. A different perspective, perhaps. Sadly, I was mistaken. Anyway, those are great pictures. Very colorful!
What are you talking about?
I was vegetarian for 7 years. It always blew my mind how much a personal choice offended other people...its not like I was a gay trying to get married or something - oh wait - that doesn't bother me. Some people are just dumb.
vegetarians dont bother me, douche bags writing obnoxious pretentious posts about how eating meat is akin to animal torture does. Why would you go to the damn rib fest if the "smell" of burning flesh was so appalling to you?
this wasn't a post about different experiences or point of view this was a self righteous post. He made no mention of the people at the event what he thought about the event. f he posted I am a vegetarian and my favorite resteraunt is vegeterranium with pics of that no one would have given a shit
Stop kissing ass and be objective timbot
All I mentioned was my personal experience as a vegetarian. I'm not kissing my friend Greg's ass. I really liked his post.
I have no idea what you are talking about anyways - this isn't the Wall Street Journal - its a blog - we post our opinions.
By the way - I love me some ribs!!!
I'll be attending the Hamburger Festival this weekend. You think pig's stink...geesh!
