When Pigs Fly Barbecue returns

Presented by the Brenda and Fred Friedman Family Foundation, the Fourth Annual When Pigs Fly Kosher Barbecue festival will take place May 19 at 12179 Highland Ave. The fun lasts from 11 a.m.-3 p.m.

Kosher food consists of meat (animals must have cloven hooves and chew its cud), dairy and parve. Dairy products such as cheese and cream are Kosher. Parve contains neither meat or dairy, so fish with fins and scales such as salmon and halibut or simply fruits and grains and vegetables are Kosher. 

The event will include a cook-off with first to third place being awarded with best team name, best booth decor and best beans, brisket and ribs. A local barbecue pit master will provide meals for guests. All groceries are approved by the Orthodox Union and are provided exclusively by Piggly Wiggly Food Stores.

There will be live music featuring Peanut and Mother May I, The Cohen Brothers and The Bobby Key Band as well as a Kids’ Zone. Visit whenpigsflykosherbbq.com for more.
