There are a few annual BBQ events that are indescribable. PigAPalooza is one such event and is part of the American Royal on Friday evening party scene. This event is a fundraiser that benefits Oper- ation Barbecue Relief. It is only attended by the sponsors of the hugely successful non- profit.
This year got started on Thursday evening with an SCA steak event that hosted 61 of the hottest competitors in the steak world. 2021 marked the seventh time this epic whole hog competition
was held. According to the event organizer, Craig Carter, this was the most successful event to date with over $7,500 raised. Craig Darman took home the prize for this starter event with a 251.7 score. Joe Oshrink actually had the same exact total score but lost on a taste score tiebreaker.

Friday evening showcased the best hog cookers in the country and even saw a flying pig from the original "shock pitmaster" Stretch. The October cover showcases the win- ning hog from the Boars Night Out team (BNO). They are the current three-time champion of this spectacular
invitational whole hog event. Their winning hog weighed in at 144 pounds and was a product of Compart Family Farms. The BNO team created two different flavors with this one hog. One side featured a traditional BBQ flavor, while the other side was done in a porchetta style with fresh garlic and herbs being the dominant flavor profile.
I am already looking forward to attending the 2022 event to see how these pitmasters top what was done this year.
