                         Meet the Porker Chefs

 

                  These Porker Chefs have contributed time, effort, recipes, money, sweat, sleep, spices, raw meat

and beverages to the Park Avenue Pork cause.

Porker Andrea

Serious and Sober, Andrea is often surprised by her own cooking skills, Porker Andrea completed the amazing and treacherous race to the dessert turn in line at the Royal in October, only to realize that she read the sheet wrong and had a full 30 additional minutes to finish her creation.

 

Andrea resides in Kansas City, MO, but can often be found cruising the bars in Liberty, Parkville, etc

Porker Lori

The Sausage Queen

The Sausage Queen has opened up her royal spice cabinent and helped the team grind out and stuff it’s own sausage in 2008.  

 

The Sausage Queen lives in Lawrence, KS

 

 

 

 

 

 

Porker Robert

Robert will bring his own brand of Leprechaun insight to the Park Avenue Pork team, with his debut on the team at the 2008 GAB.     We just have to convince Robert that there is not a contest category for corned beef and cabbage at this event. 

 

Robert resides in Liberty, MO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Porker Ron

Shown here with his other love, Ron has been instrumental in occassionally providing shelter in the form of a camping trailer so that the Porker’s don’t have to sleep on the asphalt, dirt and grass so often.   Ron was also a big part of the 2007 Sedalia contest set up and tear down crew.

 

Ron resides in Lawrence, KS

 

 

 

Porker Bruce

Bruce has brought his magic touch to the porker Briskets this summer.    We have also been quite interested in the experiments with some “young meat” that Bruce seemed to be involved with at the ’08 Lenexa contest.

 

Bruce resides in Overland Park, KS

 

 

 

 

 

Porker Mitch

Probably one of the least porkiest porkers, “Mysterious Mitch” appears at contests at odd hours to contribute to the team.   Porker Mitch was almost done in by an oversize dip of skoal at around 9:30 AM the morning of turn-in’s for the American Royal Open contest last October.  Luckily, Mitch survived.

 

Currently in semi-retirement from competitions, until the ’08 Royal.

 

Mitch resides in Arkansas
