Football Frenzy in Bryan: Tailgating for a Good Cause!
Hey there, fellow fans and foodies! If you’re in Bryan, Texas, get ready for a spectacular Saturday, November 30, because the countdown is on. It’s been a whopping 13 years since the Texas Aggies and Texas Longhorns faced off in football, and what better way to celebrate this epic rivalry than with some mouthwatering barbecue? And not just any barbecue—this one gives back too!
Briskets to the Rescue
The Rotary Club of Aggieland is gearing up to prepare a total of 40 briskets as part of their fundraising event dubbed “Briskets 2 Save the World.” This tasty initiative aims to raise essential funds for the Different Day Foundation, which supports survivors of human trafficking. Now, that’s something we can all rally behind!
Cooking the Old-Fashioned Way
Picture this: a 1,000-gallon reverse flow offset smoker fired up and slowly cooking USDA Prime Briskets in true central Texas style. The briskets will be seasoned, smoked, and just generally showered with love and care. The man behind the magic is Rickard Blomberg, nicknamed ‘The Smoking Swede,’ who will spearhead a talented group of pitmasters who will be working tirelessly throughout the night to ensure everything is just right.
And for those who might think they can’t do it alone—fear not! The Aggie BBQ Club and various friends and family members from local Rotary Clubs will join in to lend a hand, ensuring that these briskets are cooked to perfection.
Event Details You Won’t Want to Miss
Now, let’s talk logistics. You’ll need to head over to the dental office of Dr. Jennifer A. Hathaway, DDS located at 1719 Broadmoor Drive in Bryan. This is where the magic happens. On November 30, all the delicious briskets will be ready for pickup. But there’s more! Each order comes with an insulated bag to keep your brisket warm, a handy 12-inch slicing knife, a disposable cutting board, and simple instructions on how to slice that beautiful meat. So even if you’re not a pro in the kitchen, you’ll be ready to impress your friends!
Supporting a Worthy Cause
The ultimate goal of the Rotary Club of Aggieland is to raise $10,000 through pre-brisket sales. This money will directly support the Different Day Foundation’s vital mission, which includes providing two years of free housing, healthcare, trauma therapy, and the skills necessary for employment to survivors of trafficking and prostitution.
Delicious Details and How to Order
Now, let’s get down to the brass tacks. Each prime brisket weighs anywhere between 10-12 pounds and is priced at $350. These will go fast, so if you’re interested (and really, who wouldn’t be?), make sure to pre-order your briskets as soon as possible while supplies last. Imagine the joy of bringing home a fabulous brisket for your tailgate party, all while knowing you’re making a difference in someone’s life.
The Lone Star Showdown Awaits
So, as we gear up for the Lone Star Showdown, remember that good food and a good cause can go hand in hand. Support the Rotary Club of Aggieland, enjoy great barbecue, and make this thrilling football weekend one to remember.
Join the hype, grab some barbecue, and let’s make this football season not just about the rivalry, but about making a positive impact!
