A Wild Game Dinner for chariety last weekend

[GridironGriller2]

Ok here are a few pics of the Wild Game dinner that the Variety Club had last weekend. The Gridiron Grillers had 2 signature dishes (Crawfish Bisque and Greek Potatoes) they were responsible for plus multiple other items (Salmon, Deer meatballs, Deer meatloaf's, grilled bass, and Grouper) that got thrown at us at the last minute. The first roll of film did not come with a CD so a lot of the pics of the prep work and the grills did not make it. This roll is from the second roll. I have a third roll that shows the final product and the serving line. I hope to have that tomorrow night. Enjoy.

12 whole Turkeys ready to take a nice hot bath

Some fried Crappie and white bass

CATFISH FRYING TIME

But catfish was not the only item on the menu... how about some SALMON

And of course you have to have some pig.... a 200 lb hog and an additional 30 butts to help fill in the carcass.....

Ok a break in the food... how about some pics of some of the smokers....

Ok some other items

grilled shark bites... REALLY GOOD

Duck Gumbo

The portable Bar on Friday night/Saturday morning provided by our fearless leader Shaw McCarty... If he hands you a gumbay (drink) at Memphis In May on the river..... RUN

A friend prepping some rice for the Duck Gumbo and the deer fried rice....

Anyone want some chicken?????? Only about 100lbs of chicken qrts that had to be prepped and cooked.

How about 2 cases of stuffed jalapeno poppers/ABTs

And finally some pics of silent auction items and t-shirts.

By the way you will notice a OU framed pic in the background. They happen to lose that night and that print went for $0.

The last roll of film has some GREAT pics of the final hog dressed, and the serving line with over 30 different items. I will try to post tomorrow night but heck U of Memphis has a B-ball game so I may be a little busy.

The Hog getting dressed.....filled the cavity with chopped butts. This is the one time you want to be at the back of the line to get the meat under the filler.....

Last minute prep of the catfish...... 4 cases fried

Ok here is the serving line.... some items did not get pictured because they were add in as filler through out the night. By the way we served over 300 people this year.

Remember this is for charity ...... $75 a head. This is the 12 or 13 year of it. Started very small and grew to up to 900 people three years ago. We had Tracey Byrd (sp?) three years ago as entertainment and a big casino in Tunica. Since then we have lost alot of corpoarte sponsorship due to the economy. Next year will be bigger and better.
