Pig Roast Cooks Stephen Few, Jimmy Baladz, John B. Jones

Sunday, February 1, 2015 marked the 49th Super Bowl starring the Boston Patriots and Seattle Seahawks as played in Arizona.  However, in Port O’Connor, Texas, there was a super Super Bowl party featuring a roasted pig!  And this unusual event came about because of the conversations between several people several times at Josie’s and the Cantina.  Therefore, Joe and Eloisa Newsome decided to put these talkings into action.

Chief attraction and star of the main event was a 60+ pound of baby pig from the Edna Market and roasted by John B. Johns, of POC, and Jimmy Baladz of Victoria.  Plus they had several other helpers who certainly wanted their names in the paper too and these were Steven Few along with Greg Odom, Tommy Dunn and John Wyatt.  And you certainly couldn’t miss either Kim Jones, who was the chief stirrer of the beans, and Linklyn Doolin, who worked very hard trying to keep a small animal at bay because of the lingering aromas nearby.

Several hours later following the concurrence between many that the PIG was done, a large and tasty buffet was set in the Cantina featuring, of course, the STAR, the roasted and beautifully seasoned pig, coleslaw, beans, and cracklings, an item new to this reporter.  And then it came time to watch the Super Bowl and commiserate or cheer as your team scored!

Is this going to be an annual celebration?  Or a one time only event?  We’ll see!
