This past weekend, I made a brief trip up to Charlottesville to visit some friends. On the docket was a trip into rural bumfuck Gordonsville, where they happened to have a pretty decent barbecue joint called The Barbecue Exchange, where they happened to be having their annual Porkapalooza event. Basically, ten bucks, and as much bbq buffet as one can stomach.
In spite of snow flurries and actual freezing temperatures, it was a good occasion of eating pigs like pigs, as well as enjoying good company. The quality of the bbq, despite being churned out quickly for buffet purposes, was still pretty good, and I liked their variety of sauces. Their creative desserts were also almost all very good.
In terms of bang for buck, it really doesn’t get any better than this, so I’d have to say Porkapalooza was one fantastic event, and was a highlight of a pretty pleasant trip.
