Annual Barbeque Tradition Takes Over Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It’s that time of year again! The sweet aroma of pulled pork and savory Brunswick stew fills the air as Mallard Creek Presbyterian Church invites everyone to its 93rd annual barbeque event. Set to kick off this Thursday, this beloved gathering has become a staple for many locals looking to enjoy some fantastic food with family and friends.
Getting the Grills Ready
The barbeque is happening right inside the I-485 loop, at the Mallard Creek Optimist BBQ Fields located at 11400 Mallard Creek Road. Food will start being served at 10 a.m. and will continue until everything has vanished – which, let’s be honest, usually isn’t long after it opens! Last-minute preparations have been underway for days, with dedicated volunteers working tirelessly to make sure everything is perfect, from chopping slaw to cooking up those tasty barbeque meats.
Dining Options Galore
This year, the event is bringing back dine-in seating, so if you prefer to savor your meal on-site rather than rushing home, you’re in luck! For those who want a quick meal on the go, drive-thru and carry-out options are also available. This means you can grab your favorite dishes and enjoy them with loved ones at home, or picnic-style wherever you choose!
Menu Highlights
So what’s on the menu? Besides the ever-popular pulled pork and delectable Brunswick stew, you can also look forward to freshly prepared slaw and a variety of side dishes that pair perfectly with your meal. Even if you’re not a meat-lover, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. If you’re planning to invite friends or family over, this is a great chance to place a large order. Just check the church’s website for pricing and details.
Payment and Updates
When it comes to paying for your feast, the church is making it easy. Both Visa and Mastercard are accepted, and you can also pay with cash. However, they have mentioned that debit cards aren’t an option this year, so be sure to plan accordingly!
