Black’s BBQ
Celebrates 90th
Birthday
The Original Black’s BBQ is celebrating its 90th consecutive years in the BBQ business and everyone is invited to the party! The celebration will be in Lockhart, TX
the BBQ capital of Texas, on Satur-
day, May 14, 2022. The party starts at 12 noon and the music and barbecue demonstrations will go
from 1 pm till 8 pm.
The celebration is
free to the public, no cover charge. Kent Black, the third gen- eration pitmaster,
wants to thank the
five generations of guests from all over Texas and the United States for supporting
The Original Black’s
BBQ all these 90 years in Lockhart.
The 90th year celebration will be
across the street from The Original
Black’s BBQ at 215 North Main St. in historic downtown Lock- hart. The Original Black’s BBQ neighbor, the St. Mary’s Catholic church has graciously allowed The Original Black’s BBQ to use their 3 acre park with a covered stage. Lockhart professional musicians will play from 1 til 3 pm followed by David Beck’s Te- jano Weekend band with the closing act to be the10 piece band Shinyribs, a huge Texas favorite. Of course, Black’s had to get a band with a BBQ name.
The Original Black’s BBQ is really excited that Mill Scale Metal Works of Lockhart, Tx is one of the sponsors of the 90th year celebration. Mill Scale Metal Works (www.millscale.co) makes custom offset cookers, fire tools, open fire skillets and hand forged skewers. You will find their handcrafted pits and fire tools all over the United States and Europe. Mill Scale Metal Works will have a special display of their cookers and fire tools at the 90th party. Their Chef Max is collaborating with 4th generation pitmaster Barrett Black to cook on site and demo their pits and Barrett’s recipes. Special thanks to Sysco Foods for being a sponsor of the 90th.
