Barbecue Party
In September, new-school barbecue pitmaster Evan LeRoy is hosting a big smoked meats party in South Austin. The Pitmaster’s Potluck will include beef back ribs from his truck LeRoy & Lewis; pollos asados from Esaul Ramos and his San Antonio spot 2M Smokehouse; Korean pork steaks from Houston’s Feges BBQ; sausages from Marathon’s Brick Vault Brewery and Barbecue; smoked beet salad from Weslaco’s Teddy’s Barbecue; and smoked strawberry shortcake from the Switch. Other places are participating, making different dishes too, like appetizers from Salt & Time and pickled items from Casper Fermentables. Tickets are $50 (which includes food and two drink tickets), and it takes place on Sunday, September 8 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Cosmic Coffee.
