    Sheepshead Bites' sticker

    You asked for it, now you’re getting it!

    We’re throwing the first official Sheepshead Bites meetup party THIS SATURDAY at Grillin’ On The Bay, the city’s only sanctioned BBQ competition.

    Come chill with us at our table indoors and pick up your FREE SHEEPSHEAD BITES STICKER (while supplies last), meet your fellow readers and the people behind the site.

    And, of course, eat your brains out! RUB BBQ will be selling food at the event, and Chelsea Brewing Co. is supplying the beer.

    For those who want a say in the competition there’s a People’s Choice Chili Smackdown – $10 makes you a judge and gets you ALL YOU CAN EAT CHILI.

    Editor Ned Berke is going to be behind-the-scenes as a BBQ judge for most of the event, but he’ll be hitting the Sheepshead Bites table when he can. And for those who stick around afterwards (and are of age), perhaps we’ll grab a few drinks!

    Come join us! Stickers, food, cool people, drinks, sun – TOTAL AWESOMENESS!!!

    Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010
    Time: 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
    Location: St. Mark’s Schoolyard – Avenue Z and East 18th Street

      Sounds like a delicious time. Can't wait to sample it all. Too bad we don't have fun stuff like this in the Bay more often!

      Well, this is not “about us” it's just that we will be there. How come there are no related posts listed?

      BBQ + Chili + Sheepshead Bites + Beer. If that doesn't equal awesome, than nothing does.
