Trip to HD later for another Momma Buddha project. Might get some pho too. "Who knows, dont know if ill have enough time."

Going to call it for tomorrow guys. Sorry about that but with 80%+ thunderstorm chance, cant risk the hundreds of dollars of meat. No worries though. Next week we are popping up in Madison Farms subdivision (get those pre orders in), Pride Parade in Mandeville on Saturday and Market on Sunday. Yall stay dry and try to enjoy memorial day. Remember the reason for the holiday. Thanks to everyone that have paid the ultimate price for our chance to live the best life we can possibly live.

Had a great day at the market today. Thanks to everyone that came out. Slidell / Pearl River, yall ask for it. Ill be at Sawmill subdivision this Wednesday. Check the menu and order by messaging or texting me. We do a minimum amount to come out so if ya think "ill just catch him at the spot" I highly suggest you place an order. Only way to guarantee you get exactly whatcha want. Cant wait to see yall out there again. Been a minute.

Madison Farms, we coming at you Wednesday May 27th. Same menu. Get those orders in too.

We hanging with the grads at SLU today but wanted to let yall in Pearl River know we coming at yall next week. Wednesday we are popping up in Sawmill Creek and Friday at Rooms 2 Go. For you Sawmill folk or anyone wanting to pick up dinner Wednesday, check the menu and let me know before Monday evening at 5 pm what you would like. Pre orders pending minimum but expecting to hit it. No need for Friday pre orders unless you are ordering a bunch of pounds and plate. Can't wait to serve yall.

Yall come see us tonight. Chafunkta Brewing Company

What a busy week of trivia coming up.

Tonight (Wednesday) at 7 p.m. at Chafunkta Brewing Company with the incomparable The Smokin' Buddha BBQ.

Thursday night Gnarly Barley Brewing at 6 p.m. we are helping ring in 12 years. Lots of GB prizes on Thursday... some passes for Saturday's sun-drenched Gnarfest, perhaps? Hmmm? I might try to talk Dine Gnar into something sweet, too. One night only, the format will change slightly, but barely enough to notice. Lots of GB Trivia questions!

Then on Monday at 6 p.m. Milan’s Wood Fired Pizza LLC in Hammond will have our second week of Slightly Themed Murph's Trivia. This week's theme: 90s/00s comedy TV that is always on. Bank on these four, but there will be much, much more. Start getting those teams together for great prizes and even better pizza.

Trivia Rocks!
